If I was a company, I would be writing scraping engines that scraped
* police 2 citizen (a platform many counties and municipalities use to report crime and accidents to the public)
* any public facing dataworks plus web application (or whatever various other municipalities/counties are running): the one for the county I live in lists the arrestee's employer
* district level and state level court dockets
* real estate records, which also link up to tax bills
* public voter records
Not surprisingly, only the information I've ever listed on my voter ID has ever showed up in Intelius/LexisNexis databases.
