Question regarding police stops [View all]

When a police office conducts a routine traffice stop - speeding, headlight out, dull night - are they required to run your name through the system?

And if they give you a warning for something - light out, for example - and tell you that they've entered the warning into "the system," do they really do that? (And is that like you school permanent record? I'm 40 years out of high school and still wonder about that.)
