Evidence rule

This page is public-interest research. An argument grade is not a court finding. A watchdog page describes the device. It is not proof a Nevada agency bought it or turned a feature on. A product description is not a Nevada practice. Agencies are not merged: the City of Las Vegas Department of Public Safety, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Clark County School District, the City of Reno, and the Nevada Department of Public Safety stay separate. A hotlist hit is not a confirmed crime. Legal review of this page is unverified.

What it does

NCIC is the FBI’s National Crime Information Center, a system of wanted persons, stolen property, and related files that an authorized terminal can query. A plate hotlist may be checked against it. That hotlist use is the plate-reader card. This card is the system itself.

Privacy watchdog concerns

No watchdog page is attached.

Constitutional issues

Unresolved question

No constitutional provision is attached. The factual record is not sufficient.

Warrant practice not established for a Nevada agency

NCIC: No Nevada NCIC audit is in this build. A hotlist hit is not a confirmed crime, and that limit is stated on the hotlist card. No separate holding is applied to the system.

No decision in this library decides an NCIC query. The hotlist card’s statement that a hit is not a confirmed crime is not repeated as a new holding.

Statutes attached to read, not findings.

  • NRS Chapter 239. Nevada public-records law is the route to ask for contracts, policies, and logs. Citing it is not a finding that a surveillance practice is unlawful.

Nevada use

Not documented on this page as a Nevada audit. The hotlist card does not establish an NCIC connection.

System card. Hotlist integration is the other card.

Next record

NCIC: Do not copy the hotlist card’s facts into a second NCIC deployment.
