I'm not afraid of marketing flyers. I can handle crap like that. Highly Targetted Advertising, as annoying as it is, doesn't threaten to lock me up if I don't purchase something.

But I can't stop an inadequate power hungry government bureaucrat threatening me and my family over whatever because they want to feel important or powerful over others.

You didn't answer the question. If the bureaucrat wants this info, he'll get it through a third or fourth or X-th party. The root problem is that this data exists at all. Of course, if it didn't, half the posters here would be out of a job.
