My friend is a cop. I asked him about checking on a person through
state records (run a background). He was clear on the matter, that he
could do that -- unless he had a person detained on a vehicle stop.

Depends. I have some cop friends who sorta moonlight doing information
searches of public records. They say specifically that it won't be NCIC,
and it would be public portion of the DMV database, but they can do
pretty much anything a PI, for instance, could do and often quicker
because they know the short cuts.
