Changing Face of Business Increases Demand for Investigative Assistance
Doing business in today's world is scary. Having investigators at your disposal? It's like the comforting combo of a bright shiny nightlight and snuggle blanket. With a glass of warm milk on the side. Good stuff from Law.com.

UK Agency Takes Background Checks Over the Line
The British Criminal Records Bureau, which was set up a half-dozen years ago, aids in vetting potential public and private sector employees - specifically those who might come into contact with young children, - by providing a standard criminal record report.

According to The Times of London, the CRB has gone far beyond this mandate, passing files to more than 50 different recruiting firms for standard job vetting in cases where there is no connection with kids whatsoever.

Now here's the kicker - for an extra £5, you can get the police file on the charges that were unproven.

Then again, I guess these days in the UK you can be stopped and searched in public for no reason whatsoever...so this comes as no real surprise.
