I mean maybe maybe not. Having a special set of laws that inhibit your rights is pretty damn second classy but if you also had millions of dollars that would be enough to buy your way out of it.
Still it’s a part of a bigger issue. A person is out. Let them get on with their ****ing life. It shouldn’t be a question on job applications or rental terms and all that. You could accuse me of using the slippery slope fallacy but shrug i think it applies.
I’ll give an anecdotal one. I worked with a really nice guy who had served his time for murder. He grew up in Miami. Was forced into a gang. A series of events that were all very unfortunate befell on him. He killed someone but he still had a heart of gold.
I’m not really making my case here. I think I already did that. It’s just that this country is so unjust, right from birth, I don’t think having a record has much at all to do with your true disposition.
