It’s just an acedote, but: a friend of mine ended up in a gang database for identifying a gang member and stating he went to the same K-8 school as the gang member. This flagged him as someone with “known gang associates”. Years later, it almost cost him a job that conducted a background check, but he was ultimately able to dispute it.
