Are you mad at the cop because you got the ticket?
never been asked for a work or a phone number
but was asked for my SSN which i refused, based on their lack of protecting my privacy
in the military if it didn't have the privacy act written on the bottom then no SSN.
i apply that to other life as well.
as far as my phone number, sorry no sir in a polite manner but still no
your TEXAS dl has tons of info in it and embedded in the scan strip so there is no reason to give a place of work or a number
MOF the early voting in our county scans your dl like a credit card and it gives them you registered for vote, your address and WOW a phone number you used when you got license
and its no bodies business if you work or not
i am retired and i work at being RETIRED. i have insurance that's all they need to know IMO.
just my .02
I will add, the attitude and demeanor of the officer dictates the level of information transfer.
