This is a simple one.....YES. Lets analyze this one. Lets say, for a minute, You have children and there is a child molestor getting realeased into you neck of the woods. Would you be labeling that man if somebody poste signs around the neighborhood to inform people of the new resident. or a child care facility refused to hire him becuase of past crimes. I wouldn't. WOuld you let a known bank robber work as a teller in a bank. but anyway my simple opinion. i think this also applies to so called "minor" Crimes. In my opinion there is no Minor crime that involves hurting anybody else in any way, whether it be body or mind. If you commit a crime you should be prepared to pay the penalty for your crime. One of those penalties is carrying around the burden of being labeled a "criminal"
I don't believe this is discrimination. You have made a conscious decision to break the law and if you get caught you have to pay the penalty. make ammends the best way the State or the Country feels you can. I guess you can say that they feel you deserve it. Maybe you do. That does not give any offender to claim discrimination ever. In My Opinion
