I'd hardly call that "easily passed to the public". Sure, if you wanted to pay some minimum wage worker off or make some fake badge to pass yourself off as someone else to get by security. But we're not talking about some website you can just go to and get the records. and in the end, what did you get that was worth it to you? Person A called Person B and talked to them for C minutes. big deal.

I worked in telecom for 4 years and had access to a database of tens of thousands of customer's credit card numbers. our passwords were pathetically simple and we had people making $22k/yr doing all the data entry boring jobs. so in a way yeah it was easy to get to but it's not like it's public information. it's not like you're going to waltz down to the library and pick up a copy of your neighbor's phone records.

we get more than that. house ownership, who it's rented to, confirmation on social security and drivers license. for cell phones we don't need much more thn the GPS ping of when/where the call was accepted or dialed.

I can get house ownership off the internet. But yeah seeing as your a bail bond company (right?) they'll get you that info. It doesn't mean it's freely available easily like you seem to think.
