Thanks guys...I asked because the question came up over the weekend and it sounded weird. Two different women complained of Brazoria County SO deputies asking for SSN's in their traffic stops. Neither woman knew the other before we all met on Saturday.

The first woman to complain is from St. Lucia. So, I wondered if it might be an immigration issue at first. But, the second woman is a Texas born, US citizen. That kinda blew the immigration theory out of the water. I'd told them both I could think of no reason for that line of questioning and recommended they take it up with the sheriff's office.

Y'all forgive me if I missed this in a previous thread. I'm checking into whether or not it's "normal" or if it is reasonable for an officer to ask for a driver's SSN during a traffic stop under threat of arrest for not complying. Any help would be appreciated.
