'Unauthorized access' of driver and vehicle data uncovered at 2 deputy registrar offices Authorities said the acts don't appear to have been for '"nefarious" purposes. Author: Six workers at two Minnesota motor vehicle deputy registrar officers were found to have improperly accessed driver and vehicle data. This "unauthorized access" was uncovered by the Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services Division (DPS-DVS), after incidents at the two motor vehicle title and registration offices led to audits, the agency said Wednesday. All of the individuals in question (one of whom is now a former employee) are permanently barred from accessing driver and vehicle data, a step required by Minnesota law, DPS said in an announcement.
