In the state of Idaho, it is NOT a matter of public record, specifically by LAW.
Such things as vehicle registration MIGHT be public record, but I guarantee you that if you call up the local dispatch center here, wanting someone's registration off a license plate, it would NOT be provided. In fact, officers of the law must be able to demonstrate "cause" to get someone's license/ registration info. There was recently a cop fired in this neck of the woods, for trying to find out details on some woman he was attempting to date? stalk?
