I know you've been firmly in the camp of "I don't do anything wrong, so why should care if they record me".. So what of this?

First excerpt from the article, there are a number of similar stories if you scroll:

Chris

The 27-year-old construction worker hoped that firefighting was a calling he would one day turn into a profession.

He was overjoyed when he earned a part-time spot at his hometown firefighting service in Caledon last April. After training for months on weekends and occasional week nights, Chris (who asked that we not publish his last name) was asked to provide a ?vulnerable sector? police check in August.

The results left him stunned.

While the check itself indicated no charges or convictions, there was a letter attached.
?It said I was named in a drug investigation,? he says. ?I asked them what was going on because I had no idea. I?d never been talked to by police, pulled over or brought into a police station.?

It turns out a friend had been convicted on drug charges after being investigated by an undercover police officer. Chris had been out socially with his pal on three or four occasions when the undercover officer was with him.

?For me to be investigated, I understand, but to go on my record when I was hanging out with a group of people? My friend sold drugs. He?s an idiot. But I shouldn't get penalized for what he did.?

He says he was never questioned so he had no idea there was a mark on his police record.
?I thought you had to be at least questioned before you got a record. I was just hanging out (with my friend) while he was investigated.?

A few days later, he received a couriered letter from the town saying he was terminated from the fire service due to a ?non-clean? background check.

Unless the law changes, firefighting is no longer a career possibility for Chris anywhere in Canada.

Living in a small town, the stigma lingers, he says.

?It?s embarrassing. I run into people all the time and they think I'm a drug dealer. Everyone knows you got kicked off in a small town.?

It is not his problem because it didn't happen to him.

MrBottomTooth · 05-19-2014, 04:10 AM

That is fucking stupid. I hope some johnny Cochrane type mother fucker steps in and helps him sue the fire department, police force, the town and their children and their dogs. There's no way you should be labelled as having an unclean record if you haven't been convicted of a crime.

Fuck Canada.

We need to wait for him to find a related story about his neighbor before he can contribute.

Seems to me he should have picked his friends better.

Seriously? What if you were denied a job or some other freedom because they found out about you hanging around in the past with that mental case guy you always talk about that is crazy and has access to guns? Should have picked your friends better?

avalanche · 05-20-2014, 11:57 AM

The odds of this happening in the US is slim as I have probably a dozen friends that are police officers, fire fighters, and various government agents from FBI, CIA to SS all within the same group, and let's just say there are some unsavory individuals in the group too, including myself working in Adult and being part of almost all their background checks.

Plus, it seems Canada is pretty strict on these things....

I've been here a while and I've seen it all. I've seen the blow and ecstasy and the pot (remember the puff puff pass parties?), and I've seen the hookers and the whores and the blow job parties. I've had hookers offered to me as gifts just so someone could introduce themselves to me like they were handing out business cards. I've done my best to keep myself at arm's length from all of this, although obviously I am guilty by association.

The difference between him and myself is that only one of us is going for a job that requires any kind of background check.
