Changing Face of Business Increases Demand for Investigative Assistance

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.

give this DC Examiner article a gander anyway for a day-in-the life story for what Lerach is up to these days, while completing his sentence at a minimum security prison in Lompoc, California.
