The rub though is that people probably wouldn't want to hire that kind of a person for any job. The law doesn't allow for that.

  Very true, even though nearly everybody reading this are in a position where that type of history has no bearing on anything. I wouldn't hire that person to watch my kids, but there is nothing I do for work where it matters. Maybe you should tell me to look of my coworkers shoulder once in a while to make sure she is not looking at something she shouldn't. However even if the pictures she is looking at are legal it is still something my company would fire her for doing at work.

    Do things like the job atmosphere (and hence people wanting to leave rather than work or be associated with that kind of felon) and the perceived increased likelihood of a criminal to commit the crime again (and hence you not wanting to be associated with that) not enter your equation?

      In a lot of areas public urination can be considered a sex crime, one advantage of this law will be that instead of the employer getting a box ticked that indicates some kind of crime, they'll be required to actually look up the criminal history and make a reasoned judgement. I wouldn't mind working with someone who got hammered one time in their youth, alcoholism is pretty easy to pick up on and if the person is sane and level-headed in the workplace that's perfectly alright with me.
