It is time to file a class action civil rights law suit against the insurance companies who are forcing employers to perform background checks that go back forever. Also the internet companies that sell a persons background check to anyone that goes back for a persons entire life.
I feel that the environment in the courts right now would be open to such a lawsuit despite the old law regarding our issue. There have been too many new researches & studies about how an ex-offenders chances of recommitting an offence drops off after a certain amount of years to equal or exceed that of a non-offender. This takes away the old law of "the publics right to know" philosphy, especially when the argument is that these companies policies and acts are denying our constitutional right to the pursuit of life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.
I am pursuing this course of action as of right now, and I offer my time & researching the law abilities to any group willing to file such a class action law suit.
"Have you EVER been convicted of a felony" has to stop now, & I think the studies & research results will support our position as citizens that our rights are being violated.
