Driver's License

Was in a traffic school the other day. And the instructor said how complicated situation is when people are able to see each other's driver's license info. I went to check the dmv site to check my profile, and there's no way one can find out unless the person knows the driver's license number before hand. I think the panic is a bit ridiculous. Anyone's thought on this? Or has there been a way where people cracked the personal info without the numbers?

not unless you're a hacker... and why would any one care about your info on your profile anyways...

basically because it has your home address written on it. it makes tracking easier for stalkers and the whole crap with Homeland security business.

Or auto theft...

yea

auto theft? that doesn't make sense. especially since the police will be looking after the vehicle, and the tracker is no longer anonymous or concealed.

I mean if someone wanted to steal your car and all they needed was your house adress.. because thats where the car would most likely be, right???

there are other things that can be used to find your home adress. A full name, phone number etc...

it's not about grand theft auto. let say you got a stalker or enemy you know, but he doesn't exactly know where you live. and if he follows you, you'd become suspicious. so the next best thing is looking up your address in your license via internet. the tracker can get it and enter your house. or let say you're someone important, and some perpetrator wanted to send residual lethal chemicals (i.e. anthrax).

well that's been the topic of discussion and raised concerns. but I went and checked today at the dmv website, turns out, no one can't get your personal info unless he/she already aware of the driver's license number. and even if you have the number, all the personal info has been blocked if you signed the agreement for driver's privacy disclosure.

and how do you manage that,? especially since I, like many others, aren't listed in yellow pages.

lol, go check out the "background checks" thread. A full name and city you live in is all it takes to track you down.
Its quite simple these days

:rofl: ya right, and does this thead even exist?

it's in the COT forum, do a search

found the thread, but it seems you did a search on a popular author. how about regular joes like us? i've tried all that yahoo, google crap. my name doesn't show up with address.

use a search engine for "free background checks" (reason being as you can get a background check easily for some money). Now filter out the sites until there is one for free.

You can also fin an adress from a listed phone number.

ya I once believed all those stories about cracking softwares, I doubt our system is that careless. why don't you tell me where I live? lol. (no offense to you).

and the whole point is if you don't know where the person lives, it's also likely you don't know the phone number, unless they're your friends.

Full name and I can find out what school you went to. From there it's pretty easy to just give them a call and ask for your info...

alright, I accept your challenge, I'm PMing you my full name. I don't know how it's over there, here's, it's a bit more protective.

sent. this'll be good. :)

On the topic of people getting your address, just be glad you don't live in New Zealand, over there all you need to do is get the Rego of a car and take it to a post shop, hand them over $2 and they'll give you all thier details. You can even register thier car in your name without thier consent! (All you need to show is your Drivers License)

that's completely messed up.

You're all paranoid idiots.

hope you were joking, because that made absolutely no sense. especially.. "idiots."

No, not joking. This thread = definately paranoid idiots.

I'm confused as to how it actually could be any easier than what I just said...
