Ridiculous.

Should your employer give out your information to anyone who calls and asks for it? Should your church give out your unlisted number for anyone who asks for it?

Anyone can claim to be a police officer. And people who want unlisted numbers or other such information should have a high level of proof put on them to legitimately receive it.

You said, "Should your employer give out your information to anyone who calls and asks for it?"

It's not anyone. Police and librarians both have the same boss, the taxpayers. If my HR department calls my Payroll department, are they not allowed to talk about me?
