Sacramento reports rising opposition to selling state motor vehicle records to insurers direct mail firms and the public. Assemblyman William Campbell plans to introduce a bill to ban the practice, arguing it fuels junk mail and pornography. Governor Reagan’s motor vehicle director Vernon Orr counters that restricting access could hide corruption and hinder public oversight. The department previously sold license information, processing 6 million requests last year for 40 cents each, earning about $690,000. Last year Reagan halted some sales, stopping weekly lists of new licenses.
A 31 year old Altadena man Larry Joseph Stevens hanged himself in the Altadena sheriff s station jail using bedding torn into a noose tied to his cell bars. He had been arraigned Monday on charges of possession of marijuana and dangerous drugs.
Campbell said sales should stop arguing mail order firms build mailing lists of new names and that the issue reaches purveyors of pornography.
