Will this show up on my driving record?

[lordhawhaw]

I took a test drive by myself for a bit too long (45 mins to 1 hour) and the dealership called the cops on me as a precaution (my driving license on record). They called the cops to call off the search after I returned the car. So I was a "wanted man" briefly. Will this episode show up on my driving record or background check? Thanks!

no

So there's nothing to worry about, right? Just want to make sure as I don't want my clean record to get flagged with "attempted car stealing" or other nonsense. The car salesman was being as azz as he could have just called me on my cell phone and asked me what's up. Needless to say, it was the last time I ever set foot in that dealership.

Only moving violations you were convicted of show up on your driving record. For some reason though cops have a catalog of how many times you've recieved a warning. I always thought that was strange.

Any felonies or misdhemenors would only be cataloged if you were charged and convicted.

Interesting though, when I test drove the BMW Z4 coupe the salesman let me keep it all morning. I even went and picked up a friend in it. I think I kept it about four hours total.

Do cops have a catalog of how many times you've been called in for something like this?

it MAY show up locally in police dispatch NOTES (i.e. you get pulled over in same city/county) but as long as the cops know it wasn't legit they won't care, you weren't convicted or even cited, there's nothing to worry about.
