While the info is Public information (in regards to the Online DL DB), how you use that info gained is very specific especially if you download the document which the site shows it was downloaded by whom and with an address. It lists that either this document being downloaded can only be used by Self or a creditor to help collect on a debt (which is not the case so that leaves option a).
The info was used as a means to block this person's access to being granted an alcohol license for their business and apparently planned to make this publicly known in the next edition of the news paper.
According to the State Dept, this was a legal raid as there is NO Exceptions as to how this info is used, even if used by the media.

Kansas’ top law enforcement agency will now lead the criminal investigation that led police in the city of Marion to raid a local newspaper last Friday, seizing devices and—according to the paper’s publisher—causing the stress-related death of its 98-year-old co-owner. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation confirmed to The Kansas City Star late Monday that it was the “lead law enforcement agency” on the case. “As we transition, we will review prior steps taken and work to determine how best to proceed with the case. Once our thorough investigation concludes, we will forward all investigative facts to the prosecutor for review,” a bureau spokesperson said in a statement. The move comes after a local ABC affiliate reported that the Marion Police Department and the Marion County Attorney requested that the bureau join the investigation. The KBI reportedly assigned one agent to the inquiry last Tuesday; that agent was not present during the raid on the Marion County Record, according to the affiliate. On Sunday, the bureau’s director, Tony Mattivi, implied in a statement that the raid—the result of a search warrant—was justified, saying that though he believed “freedom of the press is a vanguard of American democracy,” members of the media were not “above the law.”
