NICB requires a casefile number pursuant to recent federal and local DMV privacy laws. If your trooper buddy doesn't supply the NICB contact with the right info, he is just asking for an internal affairs investigation on himself. So it is rare that you will find someone willing to risk their career to assist you. On the other hand if you have legitimate questions concerning a possible VIN tag fraud/rebody, that is a legitimate reason for the law enforcement query.
