3 searches of 'Joe's' BMV files probed
This should give all of us the creeps.
Apparently, if you align yourself in a certain way, or express a conflicting opinion, you can expect to undergo some scrutiny.
And I would venture that anything found will be used to discredit you, regardless of your opinion's accuracy...

Randy Ludlow reports this on the Columbus (OH) Dispatch website:
"State and local officials are investigating whether state and law-enforcement computer systems were used illegally to obtain personal information about 'Joe the Plumber.'
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential nominee John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.
The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.
Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate."
