If they’re unable to get a sealed record at trial, they will be required to disclose all charges leading to conviction on any employment or housing application they complete. It’s horribly prejudicial of our system to allow the assumption that those with convictions are unworthy of employment or housing.
System working as intended. All of this was intended to keep minorities (most black ppl) in a perpetual state of incarceration. Only now the groups deemed undesirable have expanded. We could've fixed it decades ago but the majority of this country (white ppl) were fine with it because it didn't affect them.
The epitome of its not my problem until it is
Step 1: keep slavery as punishment for crime.
Step 2: criminalize everything, overpolice black people.
Land of the free.
Welcome to the United Snakes Land of the thief, home of the slave
"Land of the free"
Whoever told you that is your enemy!
Now something must be done?
Bernie Sanders was arrested at protests in his youth, iirc. If there is any glimmer of hope in this shit storm, maybe in forty years a few of these students will be leading s political movement together as senators and representatives.
It’s restrictive to working in the private sector and renting an apartment. There is no disqualification for criminal background for a member of government. Trump can be elected if he’s convicted of any or all of the charges he’s facing. He’d just be barred from voting in the election.
Not entirely true. If he were convicted of treason, that's a disqualifier based on the constitution.
If you simply gift Clarence an RV the Constitution is no obstacle to committing crimes against America.
That’s true, but he’s not being charged with treason in any of the cases.
Actually no. The supreme court's decision explicitly said that clause was not self executing, meaning even someone convicted of treason cannot be disqualified without an act of Congress. It was one of the dumber decisions to come out of the court and that's saying something.
Awesome, all of these arrested young folk should run for congress
Disliking genocide puts them far above many congressmen already. Disliking it enough to be arrested is a great reason to vote for them.
Unfortunately criminal arrests are only going to fuck up their lives. It takes a fuckload of money and backing to get into Congress.
I thought being a convicted felon prevented him from being on the ballot. Or maybe that was for primaries?
Nope. It just stops him from voting. Treason would exclude him from holding office according to the Constitution, but he’s not charged with treason.
Not exactly a bad idea for the people doing something like hiring a pharmaceutical delivery driver to be able to check who they’re hiring.
What does protesting got to do with one's risk of running a pharma heist?
