Not really
Telephone numbers are hardly something you need to hide, and if one of my family members get into an accident in another part of the country, I certainly appreciate that "Ms. Nobody" at the hospital is able to look up their details.
What is needed - and what was in place here - is an audit trail, so you can fine people for doing things they weren't supposed to.
You also want to people to be able to drive above the speed limit on the highway in case of an emergency - yet still be able to fine them heavily, if they do so when no emergency was present.
