Surprisingly, (at least some) European countries will tell you directly whether someone has a specific criminal record (given that someone's consent.)
If that's what the US wanted, then that could be given directly. But that's not what the US is asking for.
- bpodgursky 10mo agolol no, I don't think the US is asking for the subset of criminal records which the criminals have consented to sharing.
- hyghjiyhu 10mo agoI think the idea is that if you don't consent you don't cross the border.
