You want the proceedings of criminal trials to be secret?IF there is some compelling reason to know something, people should be required to apply to the government and petition for the information.Your trial and its result not be public record?Look, I'm not disputing what IS. Every dumb ass here knows that your criminal history IS accessible. I'm disagreeing with you. IT SHOULD NOT BE.Your arrest and conviction record is public, as is any record of any of the other proceedings needed to disqualify your from the right to arms - and so, everyone not only should, but does have access to this. Thus, access to the background check system by private individuals - which will only return a proceed, stop, or delay - is perfectly legitimate.NOBODY in the private sector should have access to information gathered about you by the government.
Why do you think proceedings between the people and the state should not be open for all to see?
Except in matters of national security, et al, virtually -everything - the state does should be openly accessible to everyone - else the people have no way of knowing what the government is doing .
This is especially the case where the interaction between the state and the people are concerned.
