Accusearch

Rodgers, director of Gulf Coast Accusearch, said he asked a friend in the Harris County district attorney's office to use a restricted database, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), to locate information about the illegal immigrant. Access to the NCIC is restricted to law enforcement officers, federal workers and, in limited cases, members of Congress. In addition to Rodgers' friend, the Denver district attorney's office also accessed the NCIC to find information about the illegal immigrant. The information was printed by an employee and given to District Attorney Mitch Morrissey for "informational purposes," according to DA communications director Lynn Kimbrough.
