The Pearl Nightclub in Tuscon, Arizona has started to implement the use of background checks on it’s patrons who are violating the nightclub’s dress code “which prohibits baggy clothing, athletic wear, flip-flops, work boots or plain-colored T-shirts.” says general manager Damian Calderon. But there may be a slight perk to customers who have successfully completed the club’s background check process, they are issued a VIP card which entitles them to free admission on said night and on further visits gets them to the front of the waiting line. So far some 10 people have been asked to leave because a background check came back with a recent felony conviction. Found it here.

Joe Arpaio the sheriff of Maricopa County, AZ has for years been accused of racial profiling and unlawful search and seizures while enforcing the Boss Immigration Laws. So now the sheriff finally has the spotlight to show all the accusation are false by providing the Justice Department with the requested records and documents it has asked for in it’s lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio, The Sheriff’s Office, and Maricopa County. Which also appears to be in direct violation of his statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations to the government for receiving some $15 million dollars in financial assistance last year alone.

The LATimes original story.

It seems as though that there are many more people being affected by the extensive job interview process that employers are using now that they have a larger pool of potential employees to choose from.

a growing number of job seekers are being systematically weeded out by criminal background checks and personal credit histories, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

as reported by the original source.
The EEOC is attributing the rise in extensive background and credit checks to employers using websites like the one your on that enable easy and affordable background checks. This has led to a number of class action lawsuits against certain companies because they are using a blanket policy against people with a criminal record of any kind whether it has any relation to the job or not therefore unfairly eliminating them from a job.
