I'm sure that's true if you're a high-level criminal, but I doubt they bother doing that for traffic infractions or minor crimes.

I've had a ticket for something minor thrown out of court because the constable made a typo on my address when writing the ticket and even after I notified the city of the typo they still sent multiple court notices to the wrong address (which led to me never showing up to court).

NYPD has Clearview. They've got all the data about everyone, including your friends, job, and yes, name + phone number.

Almost anyone with a law degree can get access to LexisNexis or any number of databases that slurp data from public and private source so people can deliver their court summons, lawsuits, etc. If it hit a big company's database somewhere, it's probably included. Any police department without access to such a data source already is too small or incompetent to put it to use.

Most of that aside from job you can get totally free at places like truepeoplesearch. Creepy but they are pretty thorough.
