I don't know about TN, but in my state, you do not have to
disclose your SSN. So far SCOTUS has ruled that you do have to
give your name if you're suspsected of wrongdoing but they
haven't gone that far. He was most likely lying to you; cops are
allowed to lie. To be sure, it wouldn't cost you much to call
up a criminal defense attorney, make an appointment and ask the
expert.
