If the reverse happens, however, where a judge tries to increase your your sentence after a plea bargain for example, you may have no remedy other then a Federal Habeas Corpus (i.e. you must make it a federal case to make the judge abide by his own order).

The DMV and/or court files of most states are so huge and constantly changing that they are, for all intents and purposes, impossible to constantly post, maintain, and update on-line. Besides, although the records of court proceedings are considered publicly accessible records, the information contained in DMV files is not due to the personal nature of the information contained within them (e.g.: home addresses - ages and sex - SSN numbers, etc).
