A Foreigner's Rap Sheet (editorial)

[tropicalwaste]

Firstly due to the way the media report on "foreigners" i would always just wait and see.. As it may be nothing as reported. I find the media in the Philippines very speculative and always quick to point blame without evidence first. Not saying they will or wont in this case but they often get it wrong. The Police clearance will only work if its computerised and easy to track people. E.g. the UK and US for example are full of illegals literally in the millions. Yet finger printing and scanning eyes are supposed to stop this? Dont think so there is always a way round the system. Its built that way for intelligence services to move freely. Only takes a bit of research and you can have multiple passports, bank accounts and names. What does seem to be going on though is tightening up on the banking system which im not 100% if thats good or bad as literally big brother will know where you are 24/7 and what your buying. So at some point no doubt they will interlink that with border controls and visas and hey presto.. unless you dont need money your stuck.But for the next 10 years there maybe just a quick print out sheet in the Philippines saying your not wanted anywhere. Data protection acts might stop the exchange of the other data due to them being spent convictions.

A US police clearance? I didn't know police did that in the US. What indicated not wanted? I don't understand.

http://www.fbi.gov/h...d/fprequest.htmAn FBI Identification Record, often referred to as a Criminal History Record or Rap Sheet, is a listing of certain information taken from fingerprint submissions retained by the FBI in connection with arrests and, in some instances, federal employment, naturalization, or military service.

All arrest data included in an Identification Record is obtained from fingerprint submissions, disposition reports and other reports submitted by agencies having criminal justice responsibilities.The United States Department of Justice Order 556-73 establishes rules and regulations for the subject of an FBI Identification Record to obtain a copy of his or her own Record for review.
