Deep Enough?

In my previous article, I have stressed that one shouldn’t judge anybody based on the color of his skin, or by the income bracket that he belongs to. Indeed, discrimination has no place in a civilized society like ours.

However, my admonition shouldn’t dissuade anybody from conducting a criminal record search on somebody whom they’re uncomfortable with. Sometimes, hunches are right, especially if considerable thought has already been given to it.

If suspicious looks are coupled with dubious actions, then by all means check if that person has a criminal record. Living in a civilized society doesn’t mean that every person in it is civilized. One can’t be too careful nowadays. Besides, a criminal record search is not that intrusive. In fact, the process usually just involves browsing through police and government databases. Believe me, the undertaking wouldn’t even merit a filler scene in CSI – no guns and wild chases are involved.
