I would direct your attention to the case of murdered actress Rebecca Schaeffer, on the show "My Sister Sam". Her murderer obtained her address from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Because of her murder and other similar stalker situations California laws regarding the release of personal information through the DMV were drastically changed. The Driver's Privacy Protection Act was enacted in 1994, which prevents the DMV from releasing private addresses.

This case is illustrative of what can happen when strangers get your private information.
