Texas School Drivers Required Undergo FBI Fingerprinting Background Check
New stricter requirements regarding school bus drivers background check enacted in Texas in spring of 2007 got much support from the state's citizens, the whole community and parents of school pupils alike. It goes without saying that the taxpayers' right to know that a person hired to drive the kids to school and then bring them back to their homes in a safe and timely manner has no criminal record shouldn't questioned, for school bus driver is the only adult person in charge of children during the whole time of driving until the students are handed over either to their parents or teachers.
This is exactly what the legislature passed through the State's Senate two years ago provides. Is is already two years since all employees of public schools throughout Texas, including school bus drivers, are mandated to pass a national criminal background check involving fingerprinting...

New York Drug Offence Records Are No Longer Public
With coming into effect of a new law recently passed by the New York state Legislature, some of criminal drug offence records starting 8 June are no longer part of public records, which means many people formerly convicted of abusing drugs now will have privilege of concealing their past criminal history from being disclosed in course of pre-employment background check when submitting application for nearly all sensitive jobs with just a few exceptions (like working in law enforcement). According to the provisions of the new clause just added to the New York drug law, every convict charged with non-violent drug abuse related crime has option to apply for having their criminal record sealed after their completion of the drug rehabilitation course offered by the court. Once sealed, the information of drug charges will be no longer available for public scrutiny. This means the drug offenders now can safely pass any sort of pre-employment background screening without ever risking their potential employer could discover that this so nice looking person is a former felon. What if such person applies for a responsible position of a school bus driver? Surely, he/she will most likely get employed. And then the only hope of society must rest with God hoping the community is lucky not to suffer from a repeat offence by the same person. There's still hope the Republican minority in Senat, who are in strong opposition to the said law amendment, will be successful in their efforts to have it repealed. Many of us are horrified by the idea of someone driving us or our children under the influence of drug.

Who is Scott Roeder
About Scott Roeder killed Dr. George Tiller
We have performed a quick online investigation to find out who's exactly that Scott Roeder, who is alleged to have killed George Tiller. We did a quick check using publicly available information on the Internet, and here's the background information we have discovered:
A former convict Scott Philip Roeder, who is currently 51 years old, was born on February 25, 1958. He is more than 6 feet tall and weighs 230 lbs. Was found guilty and convicted in 1996 in Shawnee County, Kansas, on the charge of the illegal (criminal) use of explosives, according to court records. In 1997 Scott Roeder was sentenced for parole violation connected with the 1996 explosives conviction and served 16 months in state prison. He had violated the parole by failing to provide his social security number to his employer. Roeder also failed to file his income tax return. It is not yet clear whether Scott Roeder is in any close association with anti-abortion groups like Operation Rescue, that in 1991 organized the Summer of Mercy campaign of protests, which drew thousands of anti-abortion advocates to Wichita, Kansas, resulting in public disorders, disobedience to authorities and arrests of the most active participants. But we did find out that a person using screen name "Scott Roeder" made some postings on the Operation Rescue website. According to the information in mass media, Scott Roeder lives in Merriam, home at 51st and Knox, Kansas. The ownership was identified by the police through checking public records that contain the information about properties ownerships. The house was described by Scott Roeder's neighbours as a strange "place of religious gatherings". Now Scott Roeder is being detained and faces charges of murder and 2 counts of aggravated assault.
Victim: George Tiller, 67, a known abortion doctor, was shot dead by Scott Roeder on May 31 during the Sunday service at the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita were he served as an usher during the sevice. Watkins, another usher said: "the service continued even after an associate pastor announced that Tiller had been injured", for everybody was so shocked that failed to realize what had happened.
