Hope this topic is suitable for posting here?
Sitting here at home often, I'll listen to the scanner on my puter, hearing LEO's rattling off citizen's Social Security Numbers to their base after they encounter them.
I imagine agencies like this, because its ease of identification, and to check any criminal background nationally, besides statewide-locally.
Is this legal in the state of NM? Do you have to relinquish your SS# to LEOs?
I of course never carry mine, and the excuse I'll be using should I ever be stopped here, and asked, is I don't carry it, and I don't offhand remember it, I reckon is the best excuse without being offensive.
Can anyone provide a link to an ordinance of such? Thanks, Mark
PS: as I understand it, the DMV requests this information when applying for a license, correct? Isn't the SS# then perhaps on the card in the form of a magnetic strip that they can just simply scan?
