True, they should set up child abuse checkpoints too - think of the children after all.
- HaZeust 1y agoAnd check that every single one of your federal papers are present and punctual. We'd hate to have someone that's unbecoming to share a full disclosure of themselves to officers on the road.
- Izkata 1y agoDoctors and teachers handle that, since they have regular contract with children. At least in my state they're required by law to report suspected child abuse.
- shadowgovt 1y agoAs a side note, these laws are doing damage to organizations looking for volunteers that I don't think we have fully grasped yet. People are willing to put a couple of weekends into making a middle school or high school competition happen. They're a lot less willing to do it if they have to go to an FBI station to get fingerprinted or produce a state and federal background check first. And I'm not talking about people with something to hide; I'm talking about people with a completely clean background who just don't want to be bothered.
- rjsw 1y agoThe equivalent checks outside the US may not require fingerprinting, they don't in the UK.
- jhy 1y agoMaking slippery slope arguments like this is not discussing in good faith. I was providing the context of someone who lives in that geo-political area.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoNZ OP here. Few weeks ago there was a morning checkpoint to inspect everyone's child car seat installation. Few years back got chased by a cop and ticketed (and scolded) for not restraining kiddo (small town and my clever 2yo somehow learned how to unbuckle themselves (even that houdini clip didn't help)). Warned I could get prosecuted for child neglect if I continue. I suspect the daycare has tipped him off.
