Is a federal criminal search really necessary? If the standard procedure for establishing relationships in the working world and the business world require a complete declaration of one’s history and background, why don’t these institutions feel guilty or embarrassed for doing these things? Now, you might be thinking that I am silly for asking such a question. Well, let me turn to the social world where you and I live.
Why don’t we run a federal criminal search or a criminal check on people who enter our lives?
In the social world of private lives, people meet and fall in love all the time; people establish new friendship at a drop of a hat; and people give the keys to their front door to someone who answers a roommate ad after a few minutes of meeting as strangers.
Is this smart? Is this type of behavior advisable? If the burger place down the road does not do this when hiring a new worker, and if the U.S. government doesn’t do this, why do we do it? Why don’t we do a background check and federal criminal search once in a while in our lives?
I’m just as guilt as you are. We are humans who trust our instincts, and we go with them. But here’s the problem. What if we are wrong? What if we fall in love with the wrong person? What if the new friend and business partner isn’t who we think at all? What if the new roommate is really a criminal and we have given the person access to our whole life?
Background checks and a federal criminal search would have saved me from losing tons of money and lots of nightmarish memories. Oh, how I wished I had performed some criminal checks on some of the people I delt with in the past… Hindsight is always 20/20 and it would have saved me from all kinds of headaches.
There are thousands upon thousands of cases where identity thieves, liars, cheats, and criminals have duped good people like you and me.
Okay, you get my drift. Simply put, you cannot let your emotions and goodwill override your logical mind and give out trust where trust is not earned. What are you risking? Are you risking your heart? Are you risking your finances? Are you risking your safety and the safety of those who trust you to make good decisions? Isn’t a background check, which is absolutely secure and private and no one will ever find out, worth it? Wouldn’t an instant criminal check put your mind at ease? Gamble and you roll the dice with your future.
If in the world where one cannot even go and be gainfully employed to flip burgers without a background check, what power and what magic are you using to give out trust and goodwill so generously?
We started out talking about guilt, so let’s go back to that now. What guilt will you be feeling when later on you found out that you were absolutely wrong about not investigating so and so? What price will you have paid? How much pain and suffering would you have to endure because you felt “guilty” about checking out someone’s background?
How do I know if I should run a federal criminal search on so and so?
Simple, if you have to ask the question then you probably should do it.
If you are wrong and the consequences are inconsequential, then don’t do it. On the other hand, if you are wrong and the person does turn out to be a liar and a cheat, and the results will cut you like a knife, then I urge you to do it. I have lost many “friends” and many dollars because I was absolutely wrong so many times.
Nowadays, it isn’t hard at all to run a background check on someone, to perform a criminal check on someone. It really isn’t.
It’s not like you have to force the person to be strapped to a lie detector test and forever damage the relationship. You could do it privately and no one would have to know about it. The rewards outweigh the risks completely. Don’t do it and you may have bad memories, maybe even more, to carry around for a long time.
Okay, I’ll leave the decision to investigate someone or not up to you. I now want to give you a few tips for how to do it.
First, if you have the person’s full name, birth date, and social security number, you could run a credit report on the person. Simply contact one of the credit bureaus and pay the fee for such a service.
Finally, with the person’s full name, birth date, and address, you could run a criminal check, a background check, and a personal profile check. This information will reveal where the person has been living and what if any records appear in government documents.
