Locating the Vehicle owner and showing them the dashcam video

Can you find the name and address of the person in your dashcam using a License Plate?  

Due to the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), it may not be legal to do this. This is a federal law that limits people accessing personal information from your state’s Motor Vehicles records. However the law also states Personal information shall be disclosed for use in connection with matters of motor vehicle or driver safety and theft. There are companies who can access this information and it may be possible to obtain it for legitimate purposes such as driver safety.

Private investigative services may be able to locate the person in the vehicle in the video by license plate. Only under certain circumstances can investigators legally find the owner by license plate. Laws also may vary by state.

Would it be possible to have a letter mailed to the vehicle owner making them aware of the unsafe driving incident and providing them a link to the dashcam video?

We are currently working with private investigative services to see where and under what circumstances would this be possible to do. As of now the best alternative for this is to contact your local law enforcement and ask them to do this for you.

The purpose of mailing a warning letter to the registered owner of the vehicle is to make them aware that their vehicle is in a video being driven in an unsafe manner. This would be done to attempt to educate the vehicle owner..  Our hope is when people see the video of them driving poorly, it will hopefully lead to them driving in a more responsible manner.
