Is that as voluntary as signing a EULA?
Ahh the Canadian’s Fascism comes to the fore, “why should I convince you? I have numbers on my side that should be good enough.”
I absolutely don’t disagree that our justice system is biased and disproportionately affects low income and minorities. That being said, if I am hiring someone that’s to be trusted with client’s monies I shouldn’t be able to know if they’ve previously been convicted of fraud or money laundering? In choosing a day care for my kids, I shouldn’t be able to know if someone was convicted of assaulting a child? Past performance is no guaranty of future results but IME its a damn good indicator.
I know it’s just a one off but I asked one of my cousins who is a public defender who is on the front lines of folks most affected by our judicial system. He’s of the opinion that things like serious/violent/sexual felonies should be public info and that low level misdemeanors should basically be expunged after you pay your societal debt. I can get on that train.
You are confusing background checks, a formal controlled access to information following set rules. Every nation on earth has that. With the ability for anyone to easily search online for anyone’s criminal record. The later is straight up nuts.
Jesus man. You are allowed to admit you made a mistake. You won’t die I promise.
What about in non-hiring situations? Should I not be able to know if my neighbor was convicted of assaulting children and then not know to be more guarded about allowing mine to interact with them even though I’m not running a background check for them on child care? Or about my neighbor with multiple dui’s who offers to drive the kids to school. I shouldn’t be able to know that? Just not sure why hiring someone is different from other (arguably more important) interactions with them.
Is that you can’t give a good reason why you think it’s alright for corporations to be allowed to do something that individuals can’t? You’ve spent more time being clever than it would have taken you to just give an answer.
To be fair a sex offender list is different from a regular criminal search. In Illinois we have specific laws for having a sex offender registry so even if we stopped making arrest records public that would still be left as public information (at least I’m guessing it would).
I don’t see a cfb thread, but I’m starting to believe.
HERM
The rest of the world manages just fine without checking their neighbor‘s criminal records.
Basically. Don’t expect to get hired without providing it. Most convictions get automatically expunged after a certain time though.
Yes
So glad I canceled my subscription after 2016
Fucking trash newspaper, but that’s what happens when you hire hacks like Bari Weiss
Idk. I think we can agree that most if not all court proceedings should be open to the public (if we don’t I’d love to hear an argument against) so why not make the records easily accessible.
A couple of guys where I live started facebook pages that basically “reported” on local court proceedings and would post all the daily schedule of court appearances. However included along this this was their hateful opinion. Basically the page was blog pretending to be a legit impartial news source used to spread hate.

There’s a lot going on in this phrase.
Like, let’s leave aside how obviously horrifying this sexual assault is and the complete lack of agency the NYT gives to Kav, can we talk about the confusing mechanics of this? His friends pushed his penis into her hand? How does that even work? You’re standing around at a party with your erect penis sticking out (as one does) and then your bro grabs it and walks you and then another bro grabs a girl’s hand and forces it over to the dong? There’s like a minimum of three-four different hands all working around Brett’s dickalogical region to make this happen.
I have no context to understand any of this. I hung out with the arts students; we would smoke weed and be pretentious and watch 1950’s horror movies while pretending we were ironically enjoying them.
How the Fuck did I miss this… Wtactual fuck.
