Hiding from the internet

Lots of useful stuff in that book.

Not sure about NC, but here in Texas LEOs can have the address on their license be their department’s address and not their home address. Also any property tax appraisal information, which someone can search to find where you live, can be made confidential and not visible to anyone or the information sold to data companies. Might be worth seeing if those options are available.

We have a family trust. AZ allows a PO Box on operators licenses and auto registration. AZ voter registration unfortunately requires the actual physical address. AZ CCW permits are not public record (unless that's changed). When I was working a provision allowed some anonymity for officers, especially UC. We used UC cars/registration and carried UC operators licenses, never our own.

But every document one has ever signed pertaining to real property becomes public record. Every name that one uses as a reference on those records may be revealed along with the relationship. Social media is another matter. If one chooses to put their personal lives on social media, it's on the user.

That does suck. Every Cincinnati cop I've rented a truck to has the address of the PD district they are based out of on their license.

It may be worth a call to the appraisal district/ tax assessors office. In Texas they will delete you from public records if you are LEO, Judge, Ems, etc. I’d be curious if they had a similar program in your state.

We are able to use agency address on DL and registration or on request both will come up blank when running DL or tags. Property appraiser’s office has a form here in Broward County (south Florida) so we can use an alias for property searches. But I gave up doing that a few years ago as there were always ways around it if you are at all internet savvy. One of my married buddies just uses Private PO boxes and house somehow is under wife’s name only and she kept maiden name just for that reason.

You can place the house in a trust, declare your homestead provision, and if it is your only home some states have a tenant by the entirety provisions in the law, have your attorney file a motion to impound the contents of the trust, have him or her cite the case you referenced after shooting and even bigger events like Ferguson.

As mentioned, Ohio has a provision at the burea of motor vehicles to set our plates and licenses to our agency address. I went through this years ago during a wrongful death lawsuit. Had assholes show up at my new house (just moved after my divorce). My next house will be in a trust. I’ll keep my current one for mail and storage.

Damn near impossible.
Do a Zaba search, see what comes up.

Oh, I know.

That’s my point though. I know I’m about to move, for the last time until I retire. Looking for ways to make this my last known address for as much as I can.

Pull the pin, change your name to "John Smith" on paper, then move, disappear...
In today's digital/ internet day and age, it's damn near impossible to be anonymous.

Create a land trust, then create an LLC.

Nestle the LLC under the land trust as one of the beneficiaries.

If your state has a strong victim advocacy group there may already be a protected address statue on the books(usually for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault). They may have something written in that provides an official address for D.L., and other official documents. Perhaps they have a subsection allowing l.e. To use the mailing address. If not have your state l.e. Unions start soliciting your legislators to get something signed into law.

Good Luck!
