I don't know where to start

If anyone can find out anything more on this, please let me know. It looks like our supreme leader's handlers just laid the smack down on a couple of cops for running a background check on him. Seriously, has it always been against the rules to subject the president to the same scrutiny as anyone else?

First of all it is an invasion of privacy but it is also a misuse of the departments resources and is against the police department's own policies. Unless they pulled the PoTUS over in a traffic incident or he was a suspect in a crime they can't use the police department's resources without probable cause. The police can't do a background check on me just because they know my name. I have to do something or they have to have a reason. What possible reason could they have to use the states resources to check on the President?

I am not familiar with the police procedure for background checks, which is why I asked if anyone else knew anything more about the incident. The fact that Obama has released so few of his personal documents makes this look a little suspicious.
