I know it's illegal for Leo to run your tag without probable cause..He had no way of knowing who I was..License plate data bases are only available to Leo.
Actually, in most places it is not at all illegal for the cop to run the plate. The license plate number is in plain public view, so the Constitution does not demand a warrant before running the plate nor require probable cause before running it. You did not say in what state you are located, but in most states there is no requirement that an officer have probable cause or even reasonable suspicion to run a plate, either. Disclosure of the information the officer obtained to persons outside his agency or for any unofficial purpose might violate state law or department policy, however.

Even if what was done was a crime, the problem is that I’m guessing you have no proof whatsoever that any law enforcement officer did what you allege he or she did. As I said earlier, there are lots of ways someone can get your criminal record. That record is public information, so sharing that isn't a violation of the law unless the record was sealed.
