Okay today at work, I've been talking to a male friend/ex-boyfriend over Yahoo Messenger. Long story short, our convo leads to discussing ticketable offenses. My friend "Joe" claims that it is easy to pull up a background report to see if any of my bench warrants(parking tickets, etc) is still on my record or not. He says that he'll have his friend do it right now. I said "no thanks" but he seemed somewhat persistent but I really do not want people invading my privacy. Plus, I do not want him picking apart things on there that they might not like; for example, a few yrs ago Joe picked apart the fact that I was a dancer and I do not want his Republican narrow mind to pick apart my background and MVR reports. He acted like "wow...you must be hiding something," which made me more pissy so I wrote "I'm a Big Girl...if I want to get my reports, I can get them myself thank you very much." And if I wanted him to know my whole life story, I can always tell him myself.
Aren't I entitled to privacy?I do NOT want people doing this. My mom did this to me a few yrs ago, and then used the information against me in a very bad way even though she had no right to obtain that info in the first place. It was an angering and stifling experience. How can he have his attorney friend look at my records anyway, unless he has my Social Security number or Driver's License number...which I'm not willing to give out? And if he has this or knows a way to hack and obtain it, that makes me angry because in my opinion that is "data theft."
I am angry and after I wrote a few pissy comments such as "if you steal my SS# and look up stuff on me, *I* will be the one pressing criminal charges today", he stopped talking to me. It could be that he got called to do a work task or a meeting(he's very sporadic with the way he uses IM, since he does it at work). Or it could be that he's annoyed by my bad attitude, which I feel I'm very justified to have.
