In California I can just file a request on your license plate number for your public information. You will only be notified that I requested it. They will protect your residence address and phone number. Your ID has both a residence address and mailing address associated with it. If these are the same you don't actually get protected there.
This may have changed somewhat since I'm not in a position which requires me to do this anymore but this was the standard for years.
Which is why I always _highly_ recommend Californian's to get a private mail box or post office box and use that as your mailing address. Then your residence information is private and only law enforcement can see it.

- akira2501 2y agoNo. You can still request and obtain the information. It's now a crime to use it unlawfully or to lie in order to obtain it, and California additionally added the feature that the requested party will be notified of the request, it doesn't really afford you any "immediate" protections. So, split that mailing address off, if you can.
- prmoustache 2y ago> In California I can just file a request on your license plate number for your public information. Bouncers can use any excuse to decide to let you in or not so I guess they can just say no, show me your ID/driver's license and you are fucked if you don't have one. They can even decide unilaterally to not look at your smartphone screen if you have it in google wallet, you have little recourse. What will you do, sue them because they let your friends in but you stayed outside?
