If he’s stealing cars what if he applies to a car dealership or a cashier?

You run a background check like anyone else who is about to hire a new employee or rent to a prospective tenant.

He shouldn’t be doing it in the first place then he wouldn’t have to deal with the consequences.

I don’t disagree, but I think the issue some have with it is when it’s not a repeat offended and it’s not someone who was blatantly caught doing it on camera, which probably accounts for most occasions when the police publish the face and name of a suspect.

Do police or the news media issue a correction or re-publish their info if they end up being acquitted or otherwise exonerated? Should they?
