The state of Florida has been selling its database of driver information to private investigators and research services for years with last year's sale bringing in almost $63 million.
Reported by News Channel 5 in Tampa, the state sells nearly all the information on every license including birthdates and drivers license numbers.
The state isn't allowed to sell driver information to the general public -- the people who buy the data do that.
A group of Florida citizens sued to shut down the state’s deal with ShadowSoft. This spring, a judge ruled that the sale of driver’s license information is legal and does not violate the Drivers’ Privacy Protection Act. The lawyer who filed the lawsuit tells the I-Team right now, there are no plans to appeal

Apparently, it's been done and a judge rejected it.
