No difference between the two. The deputy who ran the number for you is putting his job on the line to do so as he accessed CCIC/NCIC for a non-law enforcement related matter. It would be the same as you asking him to check and see if the ex-wife had a warrant or a valid driver's license. Both are violations of the CCIC/NCIC agreements that his agency signed and he agreed to when provided access and are chargeable under 2nd degree official misconduct.
