Policy is now driven by the emotions of the rich and powerful. Floriduh is a deeply entrenched police state which profits off the arrest, incarceration, and supervision of its citizens. It has no reason to change.

Background checks should include a total background evaluation not just a small portion of someone’s life. Today background checks focus on the negative and totally ignore the positive. I believe that SO’s have by in far more positives in their lives than negatives. Actually that probably applies to most citizens. To keep someone from reentering society and getting a job as the results of a marginalized background check is criminal.

All my life I have been one prone to serve. I always thought that probation was a time when one was permitted to live a normal life with just an occasional check up…as compared to the intensity of parole. Was I ever in error! I must be off of probation before the system will ever know how I will respond to the real world. I have always lived a law abiding life with a temporary time of failure after my wife’s death. I have no intent to live any other kind of lifestyle.

Opponents will probably say this does not apply to us because we different from other felons.

Get rid of the labels felon, convict, s.o., etc. When an employer can look up your history and judge you based on that and deny you employment, it just allows for the continuation of the cycle of illegal activity and incarceration, because if you cant get a legitimate job youre gonna have to turn to illegal activity to make a living
