| Records kept for pulled over, no ticket?
So something annoying happened today.
Driving into Burnaby on Marine, as usual per Saturday lots of traffic.
The straight stretch between Victoria and Kerr, there are always cars parked on the right-most lane. I'm sitting in middle lane, and I can see two asshats pull to the right lane between parked cars, move up, and then cut/"merge" back into the middle lane. They do this repeatedly, visible from my rearview mirror.
I'm sitting in the middle lane and traffic starts moving up because the light has turned green, and the two asshats are pulling up to my right. Because traffic is already moving and I don't feel like braking/impeding flow/letting them in, I continue forward. They brake hard, and pull into the middle lane behind me. Whatever, shit's over - right?
After Kerr, I'm in the right lane because I have to turn right on Boundary into the industrial park there, and the first asshat is aggressively tailgating the car that was in front of me just in case i want to pull back into the middle lane.
There are tons of police cars/officers in the right lane just before Boundary, because they pulled over some Hell's Angels bikers. Asshat #1 stops, calls over a PO, and apparently tells him I've been driving recklessly, then drives off.
PO pulls me over, asks for license/registration, tells me "the public has complained about me", runs my info, comes back and tells me I can go. I tell him I have video footage of the guy who reported me driving recklessly, but he essentially says "I don't care"
So, I'm annoyed that said asshat had the audacity to report me - now my question is is a record kept every time a PO runs my information? My driving record is pretty damn clean - 1 speeding ticket 9 years ago, and 1 illegal U-turn 13 years ago -- that's it.
Would reporting said asshat with dashcam footage get me anywhere? I've little desire to waste the police's time, but it's rather annoying to think he thinks he got away with his shitty driving and instead got me a ticket.

You have the right to request access to records in both the public and private sector. If you want to find out exactly what information that VPD has on you, you may submit a FIPPA request to them.
Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act ("FIPPA"), you the right to request records that contain your own personal information, as well as records such as reports, audits, and financial information of a public body.
Fill in this form twice; once for the Ministry of Justice requesting copies of records relating to your person stored in the JUSTIN database, and the other for the Misistry of Public Safety and Solicitor General requesting copies of records relating to your person stored in the PRIME database.
Send it off and wait.
They will reply quickly. Replies could range from the records themselves, a request for additional details about the records you are requesting, proof that you are who you say you are (because only you may request your own private information), a fee estimate if you are requesting an exceptionally large number of files, a fee estimate if your request is very complicated, or a request for an extension of the 30 day response deadline.
Then once you actually have the records in-hand, you can then inform the body you requested them from that the records that the public body holds are incorrect. However, you do not have the right to expunge information arbitrarily at your request if it is correct but simply unflattering or unsavoury.

You misunderstood me about the ticket - I am annoyed said asshat THINKS he got me a ticket.
Video is gonna be like 5 minutes long and I don't feel like editing it together (front and back) unless it's going to get me something. It was just regular driving in Vancouver until the police got involved unnecessarily. Quote:

two sides to every story, and apparently OP doesn't want to upload 5 minutes to youtube.
they made it drag and drop years ago, and you can even cut and edit the video on there.
you can use it for your complaint of the other driver, which they might keep a record of in case they cause an accident next time

lol, you guys are missing the point - the question was "are records kept for being pulled over with no ticket/citation/warning".
The reporting the guy was secondary, and frankly I don't care as much as my original post made it seem.
The other guy's story is going to be "I signaled to change lanes to avoid hitting a parked car but inv4zn didn't let me in and nearly caused a crash".

If a file was generated as the result of the "incident" there would be a record kept. From what the OP said, it appears it was dismissed at roadside. Head to Timmies....you will be safe there and not have your ride 'jacked by the Cops. |

There would be a record that the plate or licence was queried though, right? Regardless if the incident was dismissed.

these "unofficial records"
do they have a retention period? are they wiped clean after a certain period of time? Or will they always come up if a PO runs a person's name?

"While PRIME-BC was introduced in the Legislature as a way to better combat serial killers, sexual offenders, and career criminals, it would seem that minor traffic violations are enough to land B.C. residents in the police database, indefinitely."

Traffic violations, even minor, are official - and I have no issue with them being on record/database.
It's the unofficial ones I'm curious of, and so far Zulutango has answered it isn't.

Non-conviction information includes: - warrants for arrest
- peace bonds or restraining orders in effect
- information about adverse police contact
- charges approved by Crown Counsel that do not result in convictions
- investigations that do not result in charges
- information about apprehensions under the Mental Health Act
However, often minor things are simply not entered by police in to the database.

PRIME (and before that, PIRS):
Any time a report is made to police (911 or non-emergency), a record is generated to document that report. This report should include the name/contact information of the person making the report and the details of said report. Depending on the circumstances of the report/how it was dealt with, there could be additional details relating to other people, vehicles, places, etc.
"Ran my information":
There is a log of all queries done by police (and non-police personnel that have access to the various systems) that links the query to that person running the query. This is a checks-and-balances type thing, as we are not allowed to run people willy-nilly. It has to be for an investigative purpose.
Checks of licence plates on CPIC are visible for 72 hours, then have to be viewed using an "off-line search". There is only an off-line search for non-licence plate searches on CPIC and I believe special privileges are needed for PRIME query logs after a certain point as well.
As for the OP, there is probably no record of your interaction, other than a log generated that your licence was run at whatever date and time by that officer.

Install a couple of kiddie car sets in the back....total cloak of invincibility to protect you from ever getting a ticket...when the see them. They will look at the car and the car seats and figure you have enough problems as it is. |
