CITY'S USE OF DATABASE ILLEGAL
According to The State,* "the city of Columbia has been barred from using a national database after it misused it for about 2½ weeks, pulling homeless people’s names and Social Security numbers, then running criminal warrant checks and making arrests." Presumably, it will now be more difficult for everyone to misuse this database to acquire Social Securtiy Numbers. So, they will have to rely on the continued open access to Family Court records for thier identity theft needs.
