Not unrelated, this kind of information augments all kinda of law enforcement, greatly increasing the lifetime consequences of convictions, though sentencing penalties have remained the same.

Last century, a year in jail ended after the year. Now it is still there for every job application, lease, and loan you might take out in life.

The justice industry benefits with easy information, punishments are amplified and permanent, but crimes keep happening.

Let’s reconsider whether our medieval system benefits society or simply controls and exploits it.

Good! Illegal aliens shouldn’t get credit from any source. They’re bad risks, especially if they get deported…

You don't have to be an illegal alien to want to keep ICE/Border patrol from knowing things about you. They're a threat to everybody.

They’re a threat to those fearing deportation or arrest for criminal activity. If you’re not in those categories, you have exactly nothing to worry about.

I’m a lot more worried about the giant NSA data centers like the one in Utah, funded under prior administrations. Those are definitely warehousing wide-ranging data about all Americans (and others), harvested right off the Internet backbone…

Oh yes, we definitely don't have news or straight up video of people who are regular citizens getting killed for no reason by ICE or even non-citizens getting effectively executed without trial.

Nah, we had the "Have you been convicted of a felony in the past 7 years" job application question in the 80's. And background checks were accessible.

A year in jail doesn’t necessarily mean a felony conviction.
