>If the company wasn't adequately screening their landscaping crews the police would at the very least have a quiet word with them. They could. It's well within their discretion. Perhaps in cases where optics look like they might become important but unless there's a problem that makes them need to look like they're doing something they likely won't because they don't want to meddle in what some other department has going on. I wouldn't count on them going out of their way like this by default. >Is the company the "dude" in this scenario? I don't really understand. The feds mostly harass employers but they also go after individuals if they accumulate criminal records, are wanted in their home countries for really bad stuff, etc. My point was that the employer and specific individual check boxes that make them both last in line to get harassed.
