I have a colleague here in Houston who has a client who went barhopping with a fake ID and now she's also facing a felony charge.<br /><br />The last thing we need to be doing is branding young people as criminals if there is any way not to do it. These smug ADAs don't seem to realize, or care, that a record will hang around to haunt these kids 10, 20 or 30 years down the road.<br /><br />This is no war on terrorism, it's a war on the Bill of Rights and our individual liberties.Paul B.

We interviewed one, liked him, and told him that we would offer him the job pending a background check (mandatory from our bank due to the nature of the business-handling credit card info). He said nothing would come up.<br /><br />We get the check back and there's a pending felony on there! We were concerned. It turned out to be this exact situation. We still hired him, but my feeling is that most employers wouldn't (especially since he hid it, which he told us had been his attorney's advice-that's another issue; would you ever advise a client to do that?).<br /><br />It's a shame that this decent kid is fighting a felony conviction for a fake ID, and my personal feeling is that it has more than a little to do with the fact that he's of Pakistani origin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
