Can I have the police department run a tag, check a driver's license, or see if there is a warrant for someone?

Absolutely not. Florida regulations absolutely prohibit the police department from sharing information from the statewide FCIC/NCIC computer system with other than law enforcement personnel. The department can be fined, and lose its terminal for violations of these regulations. However, the Brevard County Tag Agency will run a tag for you, and the Florida Driver’s License office will run a driver’s license check.
