    "we can take is to not put so much blind faith in cops." Unfortunately, we can't just tell everyone "stop trusting arrest reports" because that just isn't how the world works. The problem is companies will compare 2 equal candidates, but one with an arrest record. The one without the arrest will get the job. Do you have any other ideas?

      There are already laws that protect certain classes of individuals in situations like housing and employment. It's not hard to apply these laws to other classes.
