im on a business trip in Cleveland, went to dinner was driving back up to downtown, highway was empty and I was tired, when I saw a cop on the side and slowed down, too late. he pulled me over and told me i was doing 81 on a 60. (20mph over they pull you over for that?) anyway he's nice enough not to give me a ticket, took my license, address, and my car rental invoice. but one thing he also asked was my SS#. well i gave him all that and he came back and told me to slow down.

can cops do that? ask for people's SS#? what if i refuse?
 
Maybe he wasn't a cop at all asking your SSN. He's there to steal people's SSN and then find goo deals here and shop with your SSN.
 
In some states doing 20+ over the speed limit is called WRECKLESS DRIVING and will get your non-speed-limit-obeying-self arrested on the spot. Be lucky all he did was tell you to slow down. The fact he asked for your SS# seems a bit inconsequential.

I don't know about the rest of the state but here in Cuyahoga county having our SSN on our license is optional. Last time I got a speeding ticket I was asked for my SSN by the cop.

By the way since you're in Cleveland try out The Siam Cafe for some really good Vietnamese food and the Great Lakes Brewery Restaraunt.

wreckless driving is generally encouraged.
reckless driving gets you pulled over
 
Ya that was a silly question. I'm curious about the SSN though. Why would they ask, out of state license maybe? I mean, that's why we have driver's license numbers, but I guess maybe because he's out of state?
 
There is no reason why a police man would need your SSN. DiD he tell you if he was recording the conversation ? sometimes they do. Hope he doesnt misuse, good luck
 
he's not an impostor if he was in a cop car. you'd have to be INSANE to try to steal one, even if only for a moment. Sattelite tracking, remote motor shutoff, remote door locks, etc.

They say that the car is the only real way to make sure an officer really is an officer.
 
whenever anyone asks for my SSN who I don't think *needs to know*, I tell them I don't know it because for years, that was the truth...

doesn't massachusettes? I thought the OP mentioned that in the walmart check thread tonight. I know Michigan doesn't. My military ID has it though...

Actually, a lot of them always did. Until a couple years ago. And unless you specifically ask it not to be on there, it still will be (at least here in Iowa.)

Remember, if you can't swim, don't worry. The fall will probably kill you.

Yep, that's the way it was in Mississippi until a few years ago.
 
I don't believe you have to give him your SSN, but he also doesn't have to let you off with a warning.
