Defendants. For her First Amended Complaint, for which she demands trial by jury on all claims so
triable, Plaintiff Anne Marie Rasmusson (“Rasmusson”) hereby states and alleges as follows:
INTRODUCTION
The United States Supreme Court long has recognized privacy as a fundamental
constitutional right protected by the U.S. Constitution and entitled to protection from
encroachment by the States, both under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and under
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 8 of 88
9
various protections extended to the people of the United States by the Bill of Rights. To enforce
those rights, the legislative branch of our federal government has adopted a strict approach to the
protection of privacy interests, particularly in the past twenty years. Recognizing that law-
enforcement personnel, among others, have the ability to access any person’s private
information, especially that information retained by the State in connection with a driver’s
license, Congress passed legislation commonly known as the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of
1994 (“DPPA”) to safeguard this information. In a separate but related vein, in 1997 the
Minnesota Supreme Court first recognized the tort of invasion of privacy. This case involves the
invasion of privacy and illegal searches of Plaintiff Anne Rasmusson by approximately 144
Minnesota law-enforcement officers, who accessed, used or disclosed her private information
approximately 554 times in the time period 2005 to 2012, without any legitimate business reason
to do so, and who not only violated the DPPA, 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law, but have
damaged Plaintiff Rasmusson’s life by these violations. Plaintiff is entitled to a determination
that her rights have been violated, to an order enjoining further violations, and to monetary
damages for these invasions of her privacy.

General Background of Law and Facts
1. This is an action for injunctive relief and money damages for injuries sustained
when approximately 147 law-enforcement personnel in Minnesota illegally viewed Plaintiff
Anne Marie Rasmusson’s private, personal, and confidential driver’s license information without
a legitimate purpose. These law-enforcement personnel viewed her private information in excess
of 550 times from the 2005 to 2012. Further, several of these individuals used or disclosed
Rasmusson’s private information. Each unauthorized use of her private information, made while
acting under color of state law, violated Rasmusson’s federal civil rights and constituted
behavior prohibited by federal statute, Minnesota statute, common law, and agency and
departmental regulations prohibiting some or all of the conduct engaged in by Defendants in this
case.
2. Rasmusson brings this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988, the Fourth
and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and
1343(a)(3), the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (“DPPA”) 18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq., and
Minnesota common law invasion of privacy. The aforementioned statutory and constitutional
provisions confer original jurisdiction of this Court over this matter. This Court has jurisdiction
over Plaintiff’s state law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367.
3. The amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, excluding interests and costs.

I. Rasmusson Served Honorably as a Law-Enforcement Officer
174. In 1996, Rasmusson graduated from the police academy at Range Technology
College in Hibbing, Minnesota. Her fellow classmates elected her as a Community Service
Sergeant for their class.
175. Immediately after graduation, in May 1996, she became a park ranger for the City
of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
176. In December 1996, Rasmusson became a police officer for the Eden Prairie Police
Department. She worked as a patrol officer.
177. Rasmusson was injured in the line of duty on June 6, 1999, while on a medical
emergency call. During that call, she needed to move some furniture, and, while doing so,
snapped her coccyx (tail bone).
178. In March 2000, Rasmusson underwent surgery related to that injury where her
coccyx and partial sacrum were removed.
179. Despite the injury and surgery, Rasmusson returned to duty.
180. In 2001, Rasmusson became a police officer for the City of St. Paul, Minnesota.
St. Paul requires lateral hires such as Rasmusson to attend their police academy. While there,
Rasmusson became the first female academy president in the department’s history. She gave her
St. Paul Police Academy class commencement speech.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 37 of 88
38
181. In St. Paul, Rasmusson worked as a patrol officer in the West District, commonly
known as the “Frogtown” neighborhood.
182. In 2003, Rasmusson began to experience numbness in her leg and had difficulty
sitting. She was diagnosed with nerve damage and an unstable pelvis. Based on this diagnosis,
she was granted a full-medical retirement on December 17, 2003.
183. Rasmusson was deeply disappointed that she had to retire. Until the revelation of
the massive invasion of privacy in this case, retirement was one of the worst things to happen in
her life.
184. In 2004, Rasmusson moved to her rural home in northern Minnesota.
185. Rasmusson was never disciplined while on the force.
186. Rasmusson was highly regarded police officer and served with honor.
187. Rasmusson was proud to serve as a police officer.
II. Over 140 Minnesota Law Enforcement Officers Viewed Rasmusson’s Private Information Outside the Scope of Any Investigation or Official Police Business
188. As early as July 2006, law enforcement officers began looking up Rasmusson’s
private information on the Department of Vehicle Services’ (“DVS”) database.
189. The officers viewed Rasmusson’s private personal and highly-restricted personal
information from her State-issued driver’s license including her home address, color photograph
or image, and driver identification number.
190. Under the direction of the Commissioner Defendants, the Minnesota Department
of Public Safety (“DPS”) and DPS Does, knowingly created the DPS Databases that include
Rasmusson’s driver’s license information and the system for law-enforcement personnel to
access to that information.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 38 of 88
39
191. DPS and DPS Does, under the direction of the Commissioner Defendants,
knowingly maintained and updated the databases that include Plaintiff’s driver’s license
information.
192. DPS and DPS Does, under the direction of the Commissioner Defendants,
knowingly provided access to the databases that included Plaintiff’s driver’s license information.
193. DPS and DPS Does, under the direction of the Commissioner Defendants, had the
ability to determine that drivers’ license information, including Plaintiff’s, was being accessed on
multiple occasions, by multiple law-enforcement personnel from multiple law-enforcement
agencies.
194. DPS and DPS Does, under the direction of the Commissioner Defendants, had the
ability to prevent unauthorized access to the databases, including unauthorized access to
Plaintiff’s driver’s license information.
195. DPS and DPS Does, under the direction of the Commissioner Defendants, failed
to prevent unauthorized access to the databases, including access to Plaintiff’s driver’s license
information.
196. The Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does knowingly authorized, directed,
ratified, approved, acquiesced in, committed or participated in the disclosure of Plaintiff’s
driver’s license information.
197. The policy of the State of Minnesota is to uphold the provisions of the law, both
state and federal, and to protect and safeguard the privacy rights of the State’s citizens and
inhabitants, including its drivers’ privacy rights, and including those rights as are required to be
protected by federal law, and in particular, it is the policy of the State of Minnesota to comply
with the provisions and requirements of the Drivers Privacy Protection Act of 1994, 18 U.S.C.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 39 of 88
40
Section 2721, et seq. This policy is even set forth in the driver’s license application and set forth
in statutory language with proper citation to that federal statute.
198. Defendant Commissioners and DPS Does knowingly disclosed Plaintiff’s and
others’ driver’s license information and violated state policy by devising and implementing a
database that failed abysmally to uphold the privacy rights of Rasmusson and others similarly
situated as protected by the DPPA, exposing her information and others’ to impermissible and
knowing accesses by various persons, including the Defendants in this lawsuit, constituting a
knowing disclosure of her information within the meaning of the DPPA.
199. Defendant Commissioners and DPS Does knowingly devised and implemented a
database, and a method for using and misusing that database, that both permitted and
encouraged, through the nature and monitoring of the system, accesses by police officers, state
employees, and others that failed to comply with state policy of protecting privacy rights and
complying with the DPPA.
200. The system knowingly devised and implemented by Commissioner Defendants
and DPS Does failed to set rules for protecting the privacy rights, and permitted and on
information and belief still permits, and in some instances promotes, the accessing of the
database from personal computers, the giving out of passwords to others, including persons not
authorized to have them, and the accessing of the system by persons without any accountability
or even in some instances without the ability to trace the person who made the access; so that
effective monitoring of the system is difficult if not impossible under the system as devised and
implemented by the Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does, who deliberately emphasized and
favored the convenience of the system by users at the expense of protecting the privacy rights of
the persons in the database.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 40 of 88
41
201. This deliberate emphasis and preference of the convenience of the system users
over the privacy rights of the drivers was known to the Commissioner Defendants and the DPS
Does, and was purposeful.
202. Upon information and belief, the Commissioners and DPS Does actually knew
that law-enforcement officers were accessing the databases for impermissible purposes,
including viewing Plaintiff’s driver’s license information, and acquiesced, facilitated, approved
or simply ignored the conduct.
203. Even if the Commissioners and DPS Does had no actual knowledge of the
impermissible uses of the databases they oversaw, upon information and belief, they were
reckless in their supervision of their subordinates who did operate the database.
204. Upon information and belief, the Commissioners and DPS Does were grossly
negligent in supervising their subordinates who operated the databases.
205. Rasmusson began having suspicions that law enforcement officers were taking an
uncomfortable interest in her starting approximately in 2007. She had recently divorced, and
numerous officers who asked her for dates knew where she lived or what kind of car she drove.
206. In mid-2009, Rasmusson began to distance herself from law-enforcement get-
togethers and from police officers, even those who were her former colleagues and those whom
she considered her friends. More and more she began to live a secluded, even hermit-like,
reclusive existence.
207. On May 5, 2010, Rasmusson was pulled over for a potential speeding violation by
a Minneapolis police officer. Although the officer did not issue a citation against her, three other
squad cars arrived on the scene and then left without performing any known law enforcement
duties.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 41 of 88
42
208. In early July 2010, Rasmusson changed her cell phone number and personal email
address, and moved from Lakeville back to northern Minnesota. She told few people of her
move and ceased contact with the majority of police acquaintances from then on.
209. Based in part on these foregoing incidents, Rasmusson contacted DPS to inquire
whether law enforcement officers had been viewing her private information. She asked that only
those officers who had run her name—as opposed to her license plates—on the DVS computer
database be identified.
210. On August 30, 2011, she was unpleasantly surprised, even horrified to learn from
DPS that it had determined that law-enforcement officers from 18 different departments and
agencies had reviewed her private driver’s license information since 2007. She became
physically ill upon learning that fact; she pulled over, opened her car door, and vomited.
211. In October 2011, she learned through the press that approximately 100 law-
enforcement officers had accessed her private driver’s license information approximately 400
times in the last four years, from 2007 through the fall of 2011.
212. Upon learning of the sheer volume of intrusions, Rasmusson again became
physically sick.
213. During Phase One discovery, Rasmusson was able to determine that, since 2005,
approximately 144 law-enforcement personnel from 23 entities in Minnesota accessed her
private personal driver’s license information on approximately 554 occasions without a
permissible purpose.
214. Rasmusson believes that even more unauthorized accesses and viewings will
occur in the future if the policies of the Entity Defendants and other police departments and law
enforcement agencies similarly situated are not changed to bring the actual custom and practice
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 42 of 88
43
of these Entity Defendants and others similarly situated into compliance with their own written
rules, with the rules of the Department of Public Safety, and with federal law, including the
DPPA.
215. In November 2011, DPS informed Rasmusson’s counsel that it was, in fact,
investigating 26 entities and their employees regarding this illegal conduct.
216. At the request of Rasmusson’s counsel, DPS provided a list of the entities whose
personnel had viewed her private information.
217. As part of Phase One Discovery, for each access of Rasmusson’s private, personal
information, DPS has provided DVS audits identifying the date, time, name of the law-
enforcement personnel and entity where the personnel were employed. The BCA audits do not
contain the names of the law-enforcement personnel.
218. As part of Phase One Discovery, many entities have indicated whether they
believe their law-enforcement personnel had a permissible or law-enforcement related purpose
for obtaining, using or disclosing Rasmusson’s private information.
219. Included in the audits provided by DPS to Rasmusson’s counsel were personnel
from law-enforcement departments associated with the following Defendant Entities:
• City of Anoka • City of Bloomington • City of Burnsville • City of Coon Rapids • City of Cottage Grove • City of Eagan • City of Eden Prairie • City of Fridley • City of Golden Valley • City of Hopkins • City of Inver Grove Heights • City of Isanti • City of Lakeville • City of Mendota Heights

• City of Minneapolis • City of Minnetonka • City of Princeton • City of Red Wing • City of Rosemount • City of St. Paul • City of St. Peter • City of South St. Paul • City of Woodbury • Chisago County • Dakota County • Dakota County Comm Center • Faribault County • Pine County • Ramsey County • Washington County • Metro Transit • University of Minnesota (Duluth Campus) • Federal Bureau of Investigation
220. The chart attached to this First Amended Complaint as Exhibit A summarizes the
number of times law-enforcement personnel accessed Rasmusson’s without a permissible, law-
enforcement related reason, as indicated in the DPS audits, Phase One Discovery responses and
subpoena responses.
221. Plaintiff incorporates Exhibit A into his First Amended Complaint as though fully
set forth in this paragraph.
222. On information and belief, the Individual Defendants primarily used Rasmusson’s
name, not her license plate number, to look up her private, personal information.
223. During Phase One Discovery, Bloomington did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Anderson or Gollop.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 44 of 88
45
224. During Phase One Discovery, Burnsville did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Buck.
225. During Phase One Discovery, Cottage Grove did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Lonetti.
226. The Eagan Police Department issued Eagan Police Officer Sean Sweeney an oral
reprimand for accessing Rasmusson’s private data from the DPS database for personal reasons.
227. During Phase One Discovery, Eagan did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Anselment or Sweeney.
228. The City of Eden Prairie (“Eden Prairie”) disciplined three officers for viewing
Rasmusson’s private, personal information: Officer Zachary Hessel, Officer Christopher Millard
and Sergeant Carter Staaf. In addition, at least eight other Eden Prairie officers or employees
viewed Rasmusson’s driver’s license information.
229. Hessel viewed Rasmusson’s private information on August 13, 2011, on a
computer in the patrol squad room. There were no incidents related to Rasmusson that day (or
any other day).
230. Hessel was on duty on August 13, 2011, made no traffic stops and had no reason
to look up Rasmusson.
231. Hessel had been trained to use the database on March 11, 2008 and on March 8,
2010.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 45 of 88
46
232. Hessel admitted to Eden Prairie that he looked up Rasmusson after hearing other
Eden Prairie personnel discussing her. He had met her at a police softball tournament in 2006.
He did not have a permissible reason to access her personal information several years later.
233. Eden Prairie determined that Hessel did not have an official purpose to obtain
Rasmusson’s private driver’s license information.
234. Eden Prairie issued a letter of warning to Hessel and required him to undergo
coaching and retraining on the proper use and access to DVS data.
235. Millard viewed Rasmusson’s private personal information on three separate
occasions in 2007 and 2011. He was on an alarm call and arrest the first time he looked her up.
He was also on duty when he did so again in 2011.
236. Millard had been trained to use the database on March 18, 2008 and October 15,
2010.
237. Millard looked up Rasmusson’s information so that he could obtain her address.
238. Eden Prairie determined that Millard did not have an official purpose to obtain
Rasmusson’s private driver’s license information.
239. Eden Prairie issued a letter of warning to Millard and required him to undergo
coaching and retraining on the proper use and access to DVS data.
240. Staaf viewed Rasmusson’s private information at least 13 times from January
2007 until May 2011.
241. Staaf had been trained twice on the proper use of the database.
242. Despite that training, Staaf viewed Rasmusson’s information while on duty and
on both his mobile computer and at his Sergeant’s desk.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 46 of 88
47
243. Staaf looked up Rasmusson’s present driver’s license, as well as her old driver’s
licenses to compare her photographs.
244. Staaf encouraged his subordinates to conduct their own DVS queries of
Rasmusson’s information because she was very attractive and so they could see that “she’s
changed and she’s got a new look.”
245. Eden Prairie’s records also indicate that one “John or Jane Doe” who looked up
Rasmusson’s personal information at Staaf’s suggestion did so “in the middle of a money
transport for the Community Center.”
246. Staaf has conceded that he did not run Rasmusson’s information for a legitimate
law-enforcement purpose.
247. Eden Prairie investigative records do not indicate an official, law-enforcement
purpose for Staaf to have obtained Rasmusson’s private, personal information.
248. Eden Prairie determined that Hessel did not have an official purpose to obtain
Rasmusson’s private driver’s license information.
249. As discipline for his conduct related to Rasmusson, Eden Prairie demoted Staaf.
250. During Phase One Discovery, Eden Prairie did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Bahr, Bogren, Duchschere, Haberle, Halverson, Henning, Hessel, Luke, Millard, Pogatchnik,
Sams, Selness, Staaf, Velner, and White.
251. During Phase One Discovery, Golden Valley did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Dutton.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 47 of 88

252. During Phase One Discovery, Isanti did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Callahan.
253. During Phase One Discovery, Lakeville did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Williams.
254. On September 21, 2011, Rasmusson met with a representative of the Minneapolis
Police Department (“Minneapolis Police”). While there, Minneapolis Police informed
Rasmusson that at least 20 Minneapolis Police officers had viewed her private, personal
information. According to the Minneapolis Police, police officers had made inquiries about her
as late as June 2011.
255. On information and belief, DPS has disciplined a few of these Minneapolis police
officers to a limited extent.
256. On information and belief, the Minneapolis Police Department has not disciplined
any of its officers for their unauthorized access of Rasmusson’s information.
257. On information and belief, 46 Minneapolis Police officers accessed Rasmusson’s
record 179 times from 2005 through of 2012 without a permissible purpose.
258. During Phase One Discovery, Minneapolis did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Abbas, Bartsch, John Bennett, Cook, Costello, Patrick Daly of Minneapolis, Dinh, Fahey,
Fuchs, Glasrud, Gross, Hanson, Heyda, Hoffbeck, Jerry Johnson, Mark Johnson, Joseph,
Karakostas, Keefe, King, Lillard, Loonsfoot, MacDougall, Mackenthun, McGinty, O’Connor,

Billy Peterson, Lucas Peterson, Pfaff, Pleoger, Porras, Reuben, Rocklin, Staufenberg, Stichter,
Sturgis, Thomsen, Thureson, Toscano, Weibye, Wente, Wheeler, Willner, Wolf,
259. Minneapolis claims that Gingerich accessed Plaintiff’s driver’s license
information as part of a traffic stop.
260. At one point, Plaintiff had thought that Gingerich had been the Minneapolis
officer who had stopped her for a speeding violation.
261. Plaintiff now believes that Gingerich did not stop her for speeding, and that
Gingerich did not have a permissible, law-enforcement-related reason for his access of her
private, driver’s license information.
262. By letter dated January 26, 2012, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety
admits that Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Dean Grothem received a written reprimand for
unauthorized use of the database related to Rasmusson.
263. Grothem’s written reprimand specifically states that he was being disciplined “for
accessing private information in the DVS database without a legitimate law enforcement need.”
264. During Phase One Discovery, Minnetonka did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Nelson.
265. The DVS audit indicates that Dean Backlund, identified as a City of Princeton
employee, accessed Plaintiff’s information in that database on June 20, 2006.
266. The City of Princeton maintains that Backlund was not employed by it on June
26, 2006, and that the IP address does not match any devices at the Princeton Police Department.
The City of Princeton was not able to identify why Backlund appeared on the DVS audit.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 49 of 88
50
267. It is anticipated that discovery will show either that the City of Princeton is
incorrect or that DPS failed to accurately track this access of Rasmusson’s private information,
which it attributed to Joseph Backlund.
268. The DPS Commissioners and DPS Does are jointly liable for the access attributed
to Backlund on the DVS audit and the poor database maintenance that may have failed to
properly record this access.
269. On September 27, 2011, Rasmusson met with a representative of the St. Paul
Police Department (“St. Paul Police”). While there, the St. Paul Police informed Rasmusson that
at least 13 St. Paul Police officers and employees viewed her private, personal information.
270. Upon information and belief, between 2005 and 2012, St. Paul Police had
approximately 61 officers and employees who have accessed Rasmusson’s record 228 times
without a permissible purpose.
271. During Phase One Discovery, St. Paul did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Bailey, Baumgart, Benner, Bruce Bennett, Bolduan, Boyer, Boyle, Brubaker, Coyle, Patrick
Daly of St. Paul, Degree, Denning, Diaz-Calle, Dion, Dunaski, Filiowich, Matthew Flynn, Tim
Flynn, Gorud, Graupmann, Helgoe, Henry, Heroux, Hull, Hutchinson, Jerue, Erik Johnson,

Rud, Sherwood, Siegfried, Sims, Singleton, Sipes, Stevens, Stiff, Tallarico, Tessmer, Timp,
Toupal, or Wendell.
272. During Phase One Discovery, St. Paul claimed that Plaintiff asked Benner, Jerue
and Henry to access her driver’s license information.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 50 of 88
51
273. Plaintiff denies asking Benner, Jerue or Henry to access her driver’s license
information.
274. The DPS audits also listed the names of two St. Paul law-enforcement personnel
who looked up Rasmusson on two occasions only as “Johnson.”
275. According to St. Paul, it has not yet been able to determine the first name(s) of the
individuals who accessed Rasmusson’s private driver’s license information on those two
occasions.
276. During Phase One Discovery, St. Paul did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by either “Johnson” look-up where the first name was not known.
277. The DPS audits list six accesses of Rasmusson’s information by unnamed officers
from the St. Paul PD Comm Center.
278. During Phase One Discovery, St. Paul claimed that “the access to DVS on these
particular devices were assigned to the device itself, not to an individual. The City of St. Paul no
longer has information indicating what employee was assigned to these devices at the time of
access.”
279. The DVS audit indicates that Phillip Hartung (“Hartung”), identified as a City of
South St. Paul employee, accessed Plaintiff’s information in that database on March 3, 2006.
280. During Phase One Discovery, South St. Paul did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Hartung, but claimed that Hartung resigned in 2005 and worked for the U.S. Marshall’s office
at the time of the access attributed to him.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 51 of 88
52
281. It is anticipated that discovery will show either that the City of South St. Paul is
incorrect or that DPS failed to accurately track this access of Rasmusson’s private information,
which it attributed to Hartung.
282. The DPS Commissioners and DPS Does are jointly liable for the access attributed
to Hartung on the DVS audit and the poor database maintenance that may have failed to properly
record this access.
283. During Phase One Discovery, Woodbury did not provide a permissible, law-
enforcement related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Ofstead.
284. During Phase One Discovery, Chisago County did not provide a permissible law-
enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information
by Belisle.
285. During Phase One Discovery, Dakota County claimed Grant was investigating
Rasmusson for a law-enforcement-related reason.
286. Grant met Plaintiff the day prior to his accessing her private, driver’s license
information at a law-enforcement softball tournament in Duluth. There was no reason for Grant
to suspect anything of Plaintiff, who was not a resident of Dakota County, the very next day.
287. During Phase One Discovery, the Minnesota Department of Corrections did not
provide a permissible law-enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private,
driver’s license information by Melvin.
288. During Phase One Discovery, the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not provide
a permissible law-enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s
license information by Tompa.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 52 of 88
53
289. Pine County did not provide a permissible, law-enforcement-related reason for
each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s license information by Fjosne, Lawrence or Vosika.
290. Pine County claimed that Fjosne accessed Rasmusson’s information as part of a
wide-range license plate check.
291. Yet, according to the DPS audit, Fjosne used the DVS driver’s license database,
not a license plate search to access Rasmsson’s information.
292. Ramsey County Doe claims that he was not in the country when his DPS database
passwords and login information were used to look up Rasmusson.
293. Ramsey County Doe admits that he gave his password to two BCA employees he
worked with on the Metro Gang Strike Force.
294. Both BCA employees deny receiving Ramsey County Doe’s password.
295. Both BCA employees deny using Ramsey County Doe’s password to view
Rasmusson’s driver’s license information.
296. DPS regulations prohibit law-enforcement personnel and their employees from
sharing their DPS database passwords.
297. By sharing the password with BCA employees, by which they could access the
protected drivers’ license information of any Minnesota resident, including Rasmusson, Ramsey
County Doe and Ramsey County knowingly disclosed Ms. Rasmusson’s private driver’s license
information under the DPPA.
298. Because they maintained a database without adequate security, the DPS
Commissioners and DPS Does are jointly liable for this disclosure by Ramsey County Doe and
Ramsey County.

54
299. During Phase One Discovery, the University of Minnesota-Duluth did not provide
a permissible, law-enforcement-related reason for each access of Rasmusson’s private, driver’s
license information by Huls.
300. The DPS audits list Hobus as working for the City of Red Wing.
301. The City of Red Wing claims that Hobus never worked for it.
302. The City of Red Wing claims that it was informed by the DPS that Hobus worked
as a deputy registrar, which was a private business.
303. Because they allowed non-law-enforcement personnel access to the DPS
databases and because of their inability to properly track these accesses, the DPS Commissioners
and DPS Does are jointly liable for this disclosure by Hobus.
304. The remaining Individual Defendants’ identities (John and Jane Does) are not
presently known, because the Defendant Entities have either not provided Plaintiff with their
identities or not provided sufficient information to determine if their law enforcement
personnel’s access to the database was unauthorized, despite her requests. Plaintiff anticipates
that these yet-to-be-named Individual Defendants will become known through discovery.
305. The Supervisor Defendants are not presently known. Plaintiff anticipates that the
yet-to-be-named Supervisor Defendants who should have monitored, prevented and stopped the
unauthorized access to Rasmusson’s information will become known through discovery.
306. The remaining Entity Defendant identities (Entity Does) are not presently known,
because not all of the entities identified by the DPS have provided sufficient information to
determine if their law enforcement personnel’s access to the database was unauthorized.
Plaintiff anticipates that these yet-to-be-named Entity Defendants will become known through
discovery.

Access to this service is for authorized personnel only conducting official business. If you do not have the express authorization, you must exit now or face the consequences of violating Chapter 13 of the Minnesota Statutes and other laws. Further, the State of Minnesota prohibits unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, modification, diversion, destruction, loss, misuse, or theft of its information in accordance with the Minnesota Statutes Sections 609.87 – 609.891. DVS collects and maintains electronic access data. This data may be used and disseminated for the purpose of evaluating electronic government services; to prevent unlawful intrusions into government electronic systems; or as otherwise provided by law.
308. On information and belief, the Individual Defendants’ training included
admonitions against viewing private driver’s license information for unofficial purposes.
309. Whatever training, monitoring, or inquiry into the officers’ usage of the
information systems has been adopted is woefully inadequate to ensure that access is used
properly and lawfully.
310. The Minneapolis Police Department Policy and Procedure Manual prohibits
accessing drivers’ license information for anything other than official business.
311. The City of Eden Prairie’s training includes quizzing its law-enforcement officers
as follows:
“1) . . . misuse of the system can lead to sanctions and disciplinary action; 2) . . . operators may run queries only for criminal justice purposes; 3) driver’s license or motor vehicle registration information can be accessed through CJDN only for the performance of official duties authorized by law. 4) For practice purposes, you are authorized to complete inquiries on family members or coworkers? FALSE.” (emphasis added).

312. The City of Eden Prairie Employee Handbook admonishes its employees to
“conduct themselves, both on and off duty, in a manner that supports this trust.”
313. The City of Eden Prairie Employee Handbook states that technology should be
“used primarily for City business. Employees should not use City technology for any purpose
that would reflect negatively on the City.”
314. The Eden Prairie Police Department Manual (“EPPD Manual”) informs officers
that its policies “also applies to off-duty conduct.”
315. The EPPD Manual explains that “[p]eace officers shall observe the confidentiality
of information available to them due to their status as peace officers.”
316. The EPPD Manual clearly states that officers should not use their official position
for personal gain:
Peace officers shall not use the authority of their position as peace officers, or information available to them due to their status as peace officers, for any purpose of personal gain, including, but not limited to, initiating or furthering personal and/or intimate interactions of any kind with persons which (sic) whom the officer has had contact while on duty.
317. The EPPD Manual also informs its officers that “Minnesota driver license
information obtained or otherwise accessed through a CJDN terminal or the DVS website may
be disseminated to authorized law enforcement personnel in the performance of their official
duties.”
318. On information and belief, despite this training, Defendant Entities and Defendant
Supervisors, allowed their employees, including but not limited to the Individual Defendants, to
view Plaintiff’s private driver’s license information for unlawful purposes.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 56 of 88

319. On information and belief, Defendant Entities, Defendant Supervisors,
Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does permitted, condoned, or acquiesced in this illegal
access to Plaintiff’s private information, and knew or should have known that it was occurring.
320. On information and belief, this illegal access occurs with regularity not only of
Plaintiff’s private information, but of other Minnesota drivers’ private information.
321. Defendant Entities, Defendant Supervisors, Defendant Commissioners and DPS
Does have lax policies or lax enforcement of these policies that allow for these intrusions.
322. Defendant Entities, Defendant Supervisors, Defendant Commissioners and DPS
Does either have no viable method of or have an inadequate method of ascertaining and
controlling the illegal access to individuals’ private information by their officers.
323. The extent of this illegal access appears to be widespread and pervasive
throughout departments, and is a custom and practice. This is demonstrated by the tolerance of
this practice, and the customary disregard of punishment for violations, such as a prosecution
that was dismissed when the officer’s attorney complained that the prosecution was akin to
“using a sledge hammer to kill a fly” or words to that effect. Further evidence of the custom and
practice can be found in actual statements made by current officers, one of whom was quoted in
a magazine article about the illegal access into Rasmusson’s privacy as saying that “every single
cop in the state has done this. Chiefs on down.” ; and based on actual statements made by
former officers, one of whom was quoted in a magazine article about the illegal access into
Rasmusson’s privacy as saying that “[y]ou used to look up people without a second thought.
You’d look up old friends from high school or just someone you used to know.”
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 57 of 88

324. Before publicity surrounding Rasmusson’s situation, there was little or no training
by the DPS or the individual entities regarding appropriate use of the DPS Databases or what
was a permissible purpose for viewing drivers’ license information under the DPPA.
325. Before publicity surround Rasmusson’s situation, law-enforcement personnel
throughout Minnesota commonly looked up driver’s license information for personal reasons.
326. Each law-enforcement personnel has a password allowing that individual access
to the DPS Database. Law-enforcement personnel can access the DPS Databases from any
computer with internet access.
327. On further information and belief, this illegal access to driver’s license
information occurs disproportionately to women.
328. When Defendant law-enforcement personnel viewed Rasmusson’s private
information, they did not do so to carry out official police functions.
329. Rasmusson committed no crimes that would authorize the unauthorized access of
her private drivers’ license information.
330. The Individual Defendants obtained Rasmusson’s personal information without
probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
331. On a small handful of occasions, Rasmusson asked certain law-enforcement
personnel to view her driver’s license information for the express purpose of determining if the
database had posted her change of address or had listed the automobile she was presently
driving. None of the claims in this suit relate to those few instances.
332. Rasmusson never waived the protections of the DPPA.
III. Rasmusson Has Been Harmed By This Intrusion Into Her Private Life
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 58 of 88
59
333. The sheer volume of these intrusions into her private life demonstrates that law-
enforcement personnel are unfairly hostile toward Rasmusson’s privacy and safety.
334. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson does not feel comfortable
going to public places where police officers are likely to be around and has lost her sense of
freedom including her freedom to travel and enjoy public places.
335. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson has become a recluse and was
forced to live like a hermit.
336. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson feels she has lost any control
over the privacy in her life.
337. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson has shut down her social media
accounts.
338. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson has installed a security gate
and an alarm system on her property.
339. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson has changed and unlisted her
home and mobile telephone number.
340. As a result of this invasion of privacy, Rasmusson has changed her email address.
COUNT I
(Against all Defendants including Commissioner, Individual, Supervisor and Entity Defendants, including John, Jane, Entity and DPS Does, for Violations of the DPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2721, et
seq.)
341. Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the alleagations in Paragraphs 1 through 340 as
though fully set forth in this Paragraph 341.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 59 of 88

342. Rasmusson provided personal information to the DPS including her address, color
photograph, date of birth, weight, height and eye color for the purpose of acquiring and utilizing
a State of Minnesota driver’s license.
343. The DPS Database also maintained Rasmusson’s driving record.
344. Rasmusson did not provide her consent for any of the Defendant Individuals to
obtain, disclose or use, or for any of the Defendant Entities or Defendant Supervisors to disclose
or to allow Defendant Individuals to obtain, disclose or use, her private information for anything
but official law-enforcement business for any of the occasions listed in the attached Exhibit A.
345. Intentionally obtaining, disclosing or using driver’s license information without
an authorized purpose is a violation of the DPPA. The statute provides for criminal fines and
civil penalties. 18 U.S.C. §§ 2723, 2724.
346. The DPPA provides redress for violations of a person’s protected interest in the
privacy of her motor vehicle records and the identifying information therein.
347. The Defendants, each of them, have invaded Rasmusson’s legally protected
interest under the DPPA.
348. The Commissioners of the Department of Public Safety or the employees they
supervised knowingly disclosed Rasmusson’s private personal information from her driver’s
license for purposes not permitted under the DPPA.
349. According to the Department of Vehicle Services and the Defendant Entities, the
Individual Defendants knowingly obtained, disclosed or used Rasmusson’s personal information,
from a motor vehicle record, for a purpose not permitted under the DPPA. 18 U.S.C. § 2724(a).
350. None of the Individual Defendants’ activities fell within the DPPA’s permitted
exceptions for procurement of Rasmusson’s private information.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 60 of 88
61
351. By the actions described above, each Defendant Individual law-enforcement
personnel was acting within the scope of his or her employment when he or she obtained,
disclosed or used Rasmusson’s personal information from the DPS Databases for an
impermissible purpose.
352. The Individual Defendants knew that their actions related to Rasmusson’s
personal information were in violation of the DPPA.
353. The Defendant Entities and Defendant Supervisors knowingly authorized,
directed, ratified, approved, acquiesced in, committed or participated in obtaining, disclosing or
using of Rasmusson’s private personal information by the Individual Defendants.
354. The Individual Defendants knowingly used the Defendant Entities’ computers,
passwords and passcodes to access Rasmusson’s private information.
355. By sharing database access passwords, Ramsey County Doe and Ramsey County
knowingly disclosed Rasmusson’s driver’s license information in violation of the DPPA.
356. The sheer volume of law-enforcement personnel that obtained, disclosed or used
Rasmusson’s private personal information, especially given Rasmusson’s lack of a criminal
record, makes apparent that Defendants’ use was not permissible.
357. The Defendant Entities are each vicariously liable for the acts of Defendant
Individuals.
358. The Commissioners and DPS Does are jointly liable for the acts of Defendant
Individuals.
359. Rasmusson has suffered harm because her private information has been obtained
unlawfully. Rasmusson suffered and continues to suffer harm by virtue of the increased risk that
her protected information is in the possession of numerous law-enforcement personnel who
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 61 of 88
62
obtained it without a legitimate purpose. This is precisely the harm Congress sought to prevent
by enacting the DPPA and its statutory remedies.
360. The Individual Defendants, Supervisor Defendants, Commissioner Defendants,
DPS Does and Entity Defendants each willfully and recklessly disregarded the law, entitling
Rasmusson to punitive damages under the DPPA, see 18 U.S.C. § 2724(b)(2), which is not
subject to the pleading requirement of Minnesota state law as set forth in Minn. Stat. section
549.20. Plaintiff is entitled to actual damages, punitive damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
other litigation costs reasonably incurred, and such other preliminary and equitable relief as the
court determines to be appropriate. 18 U.S.C. § 2724(b).
361. In addition, under the DPPA, Plaintiff is entitled to a baseline liquidated damages
award of at least $2,500 for each violation of the DPPA. 18 U.S.C. § 2721(b)(1). Rasmusson
need not prove actual damages to receive said liquidated damages.
COUNT II
(Against Individual Defendants, including John and Jane Does, for Violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, with the exception of Hobus)
362. Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the allegations in Paragraphs 1 through 361 as
though fully set forth in this Paragraph 362.
363. At no time did Rasmusson behave in a manner that would provide any legal
justification for the above-described invasion of her privacy.
364. The DPPA establishes that obtaining an individual’s driver’s license information
without a legitimate purpose constitutes an illegal search under the meaning of the Fourth
Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 62 of 88
63
365. The Individual Defendants’ viewing of Rasmusson’s personal information was
unauthorized, unjustified, and excessive, and violates the Fourth Amendment, the laws of the
United States and the laws of the State of Minnesota.
366. By the actions described above, each Individual Defendant Law-Enforcement
Personnel, acting under color of state law, violated and deprived Rasmusson of her clearly
established and well-settled civil right to be free from an unconstitutional search.
367. The acts of each Defendant Law-Enforcement Personnel, acting under the color
of state law, constituted an invasion or repeated invasions of Rasmusson’s clearly-established
privacy rights, guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United
States Constitution, the laws of the United States, including the DPPA, and the laws of the State
of Minnesota.
368. The DPPA creates an individual right to privacy in a person’s driver’s license
information, thereby prohibiting unauthorized accessing of all persons’ information, including
Rasmusson’s information.
369. Each individual law-enforcement personnel, acting under color of state law, knew
that his or her actions violated and deprived Rasmusson of her clearly established statutory rights
under the DPPA.
370. Each Individual Defendant law-enforcement personnel deprived Rasmusson of
her federal statutory rights and civil rights maliciously or by acting with reckless disregard for
whether Rasmusson’s rights would be violated by his or her actions.
371. Each Individual Defendant law-enforcement personnel was deliberately
indifferent to Rasmusson’s statutory and civil right to be free from illegal searches, invasions of
privacy and the unauthorized accessing of her private driver’s license information.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 63 of 88
64
372. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of the above-named
Individual Defendants, Rasmusson endured physical and mental suffering, and was damaged in
an amount yet to determined, but believed to be well in excess of One Million ($1,000,000)
Dollars.
373. Punitive damages are available against Individual Defendant law-enforcement
personnel for their reckless and callous disregard for Rasmusson’s rights and their intentional
violations of the federal law, and are hereby claimed as a matter of federal common law, Smith
v. Wade, 461 U.S. 30 (1983), and, as such, are not subject to the pleading requirement for
punitive damages set forth in Minn. Stat. § 549.20.
374. Plaintiff is entitled to recovery of her costs, including reasonable attorney fees,
under 42 U.S.C. § 1988.
COUNT III
(Against Entity Defendants and Supervisor Defendants, including John, Jane and Entity Does, for violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983)
375. Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the allegations in Paragraphs 1 through 374 as
though fully set forth in this Paragraph 375.
376. The Individual Defendants’ numerous accesses of Rasmusson’s private
information are not unique, but one example of how frequently such law-enforcement agencies
customarily violate the DPPA by accessing private driver’s license information of persons
without having any legitimate or permissible reason for doing so.
377. Recently, in a magazine article about the illegal access into Rasmusson’s private
information, a current officer, speaking anonymously to avoid retaliation, stated that every
officer does it, including the chiefs of police. In that same article, another former officer stated
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 64 of 88
65
that the practice was widespread as a form of social media, simply to look up former friends or
acquaintances.
378. In addition, persons familiar with police departments and those involved in
teaching supervisors how to train and hold accountable their subordinate law-enforcement
personnel have been told by those supervisors that the unlawful and impermissible accessing of
private information is among the most frequently committed wrongs by police, for which they
are seldom if ever held accountable.
379. The foregoing information, other information to be presented at trial, and
evidence reasonably likely to be determined after full discovery demonstrate that the improper
access of citizens’ driver’s license information by Defendant Law-Enforcement Personnel for
their own personal and private uses, obtained by accessing that information through the
computerized information storage system kept by the State for official purposes only, is an
official custom or practice well known to Defendant Supervisors.
380. These customs and practices by Defendant Law-Enforcement Personnel are at
variance with the written rules set down by the Entity Defendants, but these formal rules are
widely and knowingly disregarded.
381. Given the municipalities’ failure to monitor and enforce their rules, the
aforementioned customs and practices are attributable to the municipalities themselves, including
the Entity Defendants herein.
382. The Defendant Entities and the Defendant Supervisors of the law-enforcement
personnel accessing this information knew or should have known of this and other unlawful,
improper, unjustified, and impermissible access to private information by law-enforcement
personnel.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 65 of 88
66
383. The prevalence of this custom, the lack of monitoring regarding these access
practices and the failure to take action to stop or prevent these practices, demonstrate the state of
mind of Defendant Supervisors and municipal officials of the Entity Defendants. These customs
and practices further demonstrate Defendants’ deliberate indifference to the federal statutory and
constitutional rights of the citizens and persons, including Plaintiff, whose information has been
wrongfully accessed.
384. The Defendant Entities, in their official capacity, are directly liable for the custom
and practice of the widespread illegal access of citizens’ driver’s license information. The
Supervisor Defendants, up to and including the chief police officers and sheriffs employed by
each Entity Defendant, are liable in their individual capacity. Defendants’ liability is due to their
actual and constructive knowledge of this practice, their failure to institute any process for
monitoring and preventing it and their deliberate indifference to the federal rights of those
persons, including Plaintiff, whose information has been and continues to be wrongfully
accessed.
385. In addition, the Defendant Supervisors of the law-enforcement personnel, up to
and including the chief police officer in each of the Defendant Entities, are liable in their
individual capacities for the failure to train, monitor, supervise, and properly discipline the
officers who are improperly and unlawfully accessing the private driver’s license information of
citizens, including Plaintiff, without a proper, lawful, permissible, justifiable purpose for doing
so. This pattern of failure to train, monitor, supervise, and discipline demonstrates the state of
mind of these Defendant Supervisors and a deliberate indifference to the rights of the citizens
and others whose information has been so widely accessed, including Plaintiff.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 66 of 88
67
386. The federal rights of the citizens, including Plaintiff, whose information is
improperly accessed, are held in light regard by many if not most of the Defendant Supervisors
and by the Defendant Entities themselves.
387. Defendants’ lack of concern evidences their deliberate indifference both to the
problem of the unauthorized access and to the impact of the unauthorized access on the federal
rights of the citizens, including Plaintiff, who would often be unaware of that access.
388. Defendants’ lack of concern is evidenced by the failure of most Defendant
Entities to take any sort of corrective action upon learning that multiple improper, unlawful,
unjustified accesses of Plaintiff’s information had taken place. Defendants have also
consistently refused to fully involve Plaintiff, keep her fully informed of the progress of the
investigation into the persons accessing her information, or to advise her of their identities, their
reasons for accessing her information, their knowledge of Plaintiff, and any discipline imposed
on them for their improper and illegal conduct.
389. The manner in which the investigation was handled by the Entity Defendants and
Supervisor Defendants provides little expectation that these and other law-enforcement personnel
will cease accessing Plaintiff’s private information and the private information of other persons
similarly situated to Plaintiff, without a justifiable, permissible basis.
390. To the best of Plaintiff’s knowledge, no system has been established by the Entity
Defendants and Supervisor Defendants to monitor the regular access of the DPS Databases by
law-enforcement personnel.
391. To the best of Plaintiff’s knowledge, no reviews have taken place of other
accesses of the DPS Databases by these same law-enforcement personnel, or of other officers
and employees in the Defendant Entities.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 67 of 88
68
392. To the best of Plaintiff’s knowledge, no attempt has been made by the Entity
Defendants and Supervisor Defendants to protect and safeguard the rights of other persons’ DPS
Database information.
393. To the best of Plaintiff’s knowledge, no attempt has been made by the Entity
Defendants and Supervisor Defendants to provide redress and assurance to the persons, including
Plaintiff, whose DVS information has been wrongfully accessed by the Defendant Law-
Enforcement Personnel named in this Complaint, or by other officers in the municipalities named
in this Complaint.
394. Defendants’ accesses have been widely discussed among the Defendant Law-
Enforcement Personnel committing the accesses as well as among other personnel in the
Defendant Entities – all of which have damaged Plaintiff and her reputation, including but not
limited to her reputation as a single woman.
395. The reputational damage alone to Plaintiff, as well as the knowledge that this
activity is not merely unlawful but a federal crime, should have been enough to ensure that
Plaintiff’s concerns listed in the preceding paragraphs were addressed by Defendants in a
meaningful fashion. Holding accountable the law-enforcement personnel engaged in an
unlawful activity would have been an important step in eliminating this custom and practice of
permitting the widespread illegal accessing of Rasmusson’s information; yet nothing meaningful
in this regard has been accomplished, and no prosecutions have been initiated to the best of
Plaintiff’s knowledge.
396. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of the above-named
Defendant Entities and Defendant Supervisors, Rasmusson has endured and continues to endure
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 68 of 88
69
physical and mental suffering, and has been damaged in an amount yet to determined and of a
continuing nautre, but believed to be well in excess of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars.
397. Punitive damages are available against Defendant Supervisors for their reckless
and callous disregard for Rasmusson’s rights and their intentional violations of the federal law,
and are hereby claimed as a matter of federal common law, Smith v. Wade, 461 U.S. 30 (1983),
and, as such, are not subject to the pleading requirements set forth in Minn. Stat. § 549.20.
398. Plaintiff is entitled to recovery of her costs, including reasonable attorney fees,
under 42 U.S.C. § 1988.
COUNT IV (Against Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does for violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983)
399. Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the allegations in Paragraphs 1 through 398 as
though fully set forth in this Paragraph 399.
400. Defendant Campion was Commissioner of DPS from April 2004 to February
2011.
401. Defendant Dohman became Commissioner of DPS in March 2011 and presently
serves in that role.
402. As DPS Commissioners, Campion and Dohman, along with DPD Does, were and
are responsible for creating, maintaining, and providing access to the database that included
Plaintiff’s driver’s license information.
403. Defendant Commissioners and DPS Does also had the ability to determine if
unauthorized access was being made and to prevent such unauthorized access to the database,
including of Plaintiff’s driver’s license information, and have the ongoing duty to prevent such
unauthorized accesses.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 69 of 88
70
404. The Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does failed to prevent unauthorized
access to the database, including Plaintiff’s driver’s license information.
405. The actions of the Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does, as alleged, violate
the rights of the Plaintiff under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States
Constitution and under the DPPA.
406. On information and belief, the Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does created
or oversaw the creation and maintenance of a database and system that was supposed to prevent
unauthorized access to driver’s license information.
407. From 2005, Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does allowed unauthorized
access of Rasmusson’s driver’s license information such that approximately 144 law-
enforcement personnel from 18 different departments accessed her information over 544 times.
408. On information and belief, Commissioner Defendants’ and DPS Does’ efforts
have been insufficient to prevent future unauthorized access of Plaintiff’s and other individuals’
private, personal information.
409. Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does have sanctioned the constitutional
violations by the Defendant Law-Enforcement Personnel through their failure to remedy the
policy, custom and practice of officers’ and employees’ unfettered and unauthorized access to
the database.
410. Commissioner Defendants and DPS Doeshave been grossly negligent in
supervising subordinates responsible for implementing a law-enforcement database that prevents
unauthorized access to private, personal information.
CASE 0:12-cv-00632-SRN-JSM Document 53-1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 70 of 88
71
411. On information and belief, Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does failed to
monitor and prevent unauthorized access to private, personal information even though they knew
or should have known that such unconstitutional acts were occurring.
412. Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does, acting under the color of state law,
were deliberately indifferent to Rasmusson’s constitutionally-recognized and federal statutory
rights to be free from illegal searches, invasions of privacy and the unauthorized accessing of her
private driver’s license information.
413. Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does are jointly liable for disclosure of Ms.
Rasmusson’s private driver’s license information for each Individual Defendants’ access.
414. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of the Commissioner
Defendants and DPS Does, Rasmusson was forced to endure physical and mental suffering, and
was thereby damaged in an amount yet to determined, but believed to be well in excess of One
Million ($1,000,000) Dollars.
415. Punitive damages are available against Commissioner Defendants and DPS Does
for their reckless and callous disregard for Rasmusson’s rights and their intentional violations of
the federal law, and are hereby claimed as a matter of federal common law, Smith v. Wade, 461
U.S. 30 (1983), and, as such, are not subject to the pleading requirements set forth in Minn. Stat.
§ 549.20.
416. Plaintiff is entitled to recovery of her costs, including reasonable attorney fees,
under 42 U.S.C. § 1988.

72
417. Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the alleagations in Paragraphs 1 through 416 as
though fully set forth in this Paragraph 417.
418. By improperly obtaining Rasmusson’s private personal information for
impermissible reasons, Defendants intentionally intruded upon the solitude or seclusion of
