So I signed up for Uber as a partner a while ago and had to submit to a background check from some third party data broker (hell if I can remember the name of the company, though). What is an "effective" background check? Either the broker has criminal records for you, or they do not.

There are hundreds if not thousands of courts and government offices that keep the relevant records. Each has a different way of making those records available. If the background check service doesn't get all or them then it won't be effective because a person with a serious criminal record could just go to a different jurisdiction to escape their record.
