And, to make matters worse, judges and courts have started sending out questionnaires to potential jurors and telling them that they say are "legally required to answer". The questionnaires include information such as:
Social Security Number
Date of Birth
Mother's Maiden Name
Places that you've lived
Marital status
Name of spouse
I've chewed out two judges over this; neither one seemed to understand that those questionnaires would be a windfall to any identity thief.
Ask the judges to quote the law that requires such forms. Possible some legi-critter thought this was a good idea and added it to a justice dept funding bill, for reasons.
