I am a Petroleum Landman. This is denying public access to public records. While SS # should never have been used for ID purposes (that, I believe, is in fact illegal as many of the older SS cards state on them) and certainly should not be on public record, the fact is they are and this is the attorney general breaking the law as far as I am concerned because they are denying access to public records. Some counties are allowing some people through after going through red tape as the article states but others have the entire courthouse shut down.
