Definitely not me in the picture.
And the other shit (plus even property value) is available through public info, through the county's website in most instances.
It is crazy how much info is available, though. Ever run a credit report where you have to answer 3 random questions about yourself to verify your identity? It's sort of mind blowing. The company that provides that service to the credit report places actually has a whole business around knowing a shitload of stuff about a shitload of people. They just pay for subscriptions to a lot of public info databases to have it available on the fly.
When I worked a 9-5, I worked for a company that created/sold online learning management software (like Blackboard for anyone that went to Ball State...in fact, toward the end of my tenure there, they were bought out by Blackboard). The most badass thing I did there was build a thing that interfaced with the company that does the credit report shit. It would force the student to answer 3 personal questions about themselves before they took a quiz to ensure it was really them doing it. Stuff like, "What was the first road you lived on" and "Which of these banks do you currently have a loan with."
The moral of the story is that there's a lot of info out there...especially if people are willing to pay for it.
