LAWS promoting Mandatory Background checks in 4 states now

True.com owned and operated by Herb Vest believes that true love should come with a criminal-background check.

Under the California proposal, social referral services Friendster.com and Google's Orkut.com would be on the hook for fines of millions of dollars a day if they declined to post a warning similar to the one above on California members' ads or profiles. The proposed Michigan law, which cleared the state House but died in the Senate, similarly regulates companies providing "social referral services primarily through the Internet."

True.com is the first to admit that its background searches are hardly perfect. Without a fingerprint check, the searches can't catch felons signing up under a fake name, for instance.
"They're trying to legislate their business model, and quite frankly it's a weak business model," says Match.com spokeswoman Kristin Kelly. It would be just as easy to argue that True.com should be required to post labels on each page: "WARNING: TRUE.COM'S BACKGROUND SEARCHES WILL NOT IDENTIFY CRIMINALS USING FAKE NAMES. AND THE COST TO RUN THEM MAY BE PASSED ON TO YOU."

1. Renting an apartment

They are starting to use something similar to this. All encompassing: criminal, credit, and salary check for prospective tentants. They charge you $100 per PERSON, non refundable, living in the apartment. I went online to check it out and saw a demonstration. Very scary. Sounds too much that Pizza Order posting.
