What's the not-exactly-public-system here? I assume its a one of the commercially available services that collect this information from the governments and sell it back to governments and non-governments, alike.

I don't recall. It was just an article I read on the subject this weekend, and I don't even remember who published it to even attempt to look it up. However, I don't know why the specific service actually matters. There's a word for a person not granted access to a system accessing the system without permission. It's in the name of this website

  You've defined down "hacker" pretty badly if debatably not using a publicly accessible website for its intended purpose according to the posted terms of service now qualifies.

    It’s how the people that bring charges would define it. What you or I understand the meaning is irrelevant in the eyes of Johnny Law

      Does the Kansas criminal code use the word "hacker" or are you just making stuff up?

See page 6 of the police affidavit: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23919909-marion-county-record-affidavit https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23919909-marion-coun... It's a Department of Revenue website where the user must select their reason for accessing the information and agree to terms of use per a Kansas law.
