Sacramento, CA — November 2025 — Every day, thousands of drivers are left with damaged vehicles and no way to identify the person responsible. Now, licensed private investigator and former police officer Lance The PI is helping victims of hit-and-run incidents legally identify the at-fault driver using verified license plate lookups.
Through his website LicensePlatesCar.com, Lance provides a confidential and lawful way for individuals to find the registered owner of a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run or property-damage incident. Each lookup is performed under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) — a federal law that allows licensed investigators to access vehicle registration records for permissible legal purposes.
“Most victims of hit-and-runs don’t realize that they have options,” said Lance. “If you have a photo of the plate or the full number, I can legally identify the vehicle’s registered owner so you can file a police report, submit an insurance claim, or take the driver to small claims court.”
Lance’s investigative lookups are not the same as public database searches. Each report is verified through secure law-enforcement-grade databases and may include the vehicle owner’s name, current address, and vehicle details such as make, model, and year. These records help victims:
-
Identify the driver responsible for property damage or injury
-
File or support a small-claims or civil court case
-
Assist insurance companies in processing claims
-
Locate defendants for service of legal documents
