Do you ever wonder how detailed a "background check" is?
I have to get yet another one when I take my reffing clinic. They are now starting to do background checks on all refs 18 years of age and older.
What all can be included on these things? Does it ever change? Is it like a driving record, that updates after it is clean for a while? Does a particular offense stay on longer than others?
I believe it is smart for any organization (like a reffing organization) to take these steps, but it is quite unfortunate that it is necessary. Society has gone to a bad place.

Why to be smart iz unfortunate?
These checks do criminal background checks, employment and credit history checks, depending on who is doing the investigation. Yes, a mistake lasts forever. Society has gotten to a very bad place, us "old farts" can remember when as kids, we could go play in the neighborhood for hours, away from home, and no one worried and there was little danger. Not the case today. I blame "baby boomers, and hippies, etc." but, unfortunately it is part of the human condition, sin, and a lack of individual control. I wish the trend was for the better but, it doesn't seem to be that way.
