A county judge in Missouri ruled that fee increases for obtaining driver and motor vehicle records are invalid. Several data mining companies that regularly purchase such records sued when the state raised the charge from $1.25 to 7 and wiped out bulk discounts. Judge Richard Callahan ruled the documents are public record and that under the law the state can charge only the cost of copying. (6/2/08)
