Gentlemen: Please consider keeping access to legal SS# searches. As a criminal defense investigator it is one of the most important tools in locating wittnesses and at times clients in order to see that the accused receives a fair trial. In 21 years I have never abused the use of the numbers which are destroyed by shredding upon screening the information for possible leads. There are many other legal uses all controlled by the legal databases through which we secure the information. Thank you for your consideration. Leonard D. Topley, Sr. Licensed private investigator
