Arrest records in the US

All 'interaction' with law enforcement is recorded.

I worked for a US company and it had certain US government customers/ Only US citizens were permitted in these premises.

One company employee, who had a senior design function with the system in the US Government building,in other words he knew it inside out, was called in to help resolve a problem.

When he attended, the Secret Service guards ran his name through their computer and he was denied entry. THE REASON? He had a childhood misdemeanour involving a broken window. And childhood convictions are supposed to be suppressed.

Some Land of the Free!
