Very few people realize that anybody can write down the license plate number of your spouse and daughter and find out where they live and their name and their Social Security number in many States; it should not be allowed to continue. The amendment that I am offering today will close a loophole in State law that allows anyone, for any reason, to gain access to personal information--defined as a driver's name, address, and Social Security number--in your DMV file. Currently, in 34 States across the country anyone can walk into a DMV office with your tag number, pay a small fee, and get your name, address, phone number and other personal information--no questions asked. Think about that.
