Cop question

[VeeWdriver at aol.com (VeeWdriver@aol.com)]

Year, make, and model come up in all states,  body style comes up in most and 
color is optional.  There's a field for it  in MVD records in AZ, but most of 
the time the MVD clerk will not enter the  color.  What's even worse is that 
they're left to make their own  abreviations for model.  I've seen some 
interesting ones.  A 79  Scirocco could end up a 1979 VOL SHI CPE or 1979 VOL SHI 
2HB if the dummy didn't  know how to spell scirocco.  They make up the body 
style a lot, too.   They may call it a coupe (CPE) or 2 door hatchback (2HB) or 
just plain hatchback  (HB).  The accuracy of the information is all dependant on 
a low paid  government human unit in the end.
