Cross Operating a Food Truck Off List of Job Prospects for Registrants in Stamford
The City of Stamford Connecticut is proposing some rules for the operation of a food truck. The new rule “would disqualify anyone convicted of felony theft or assault in the last five years or who is a registered sex offender”.
Notice how the other felonies expire, but the “registered sex offender” restriction endures for life. Commit an armed robbery 6 years ago, that’s OK! Murder your neighbor in 2012, you’re good to go! But pee in an alley in 1985 and you’re not fit to cook burgers.
It’s another ridiculous rule that does nothing to prevent public safety, makes politicians look as though they are “doing something” and has the effect of closing off another avenue of gainful employment for a registered individual.
Again, this a ckear example of voluntary lack of understanding specifics of circumstances. Each case is unique, I believe cases that has been deemed low risk should be considered as part of community reitegration. Give the community some leeway, it will help financially too.
Just another example of how misguided some of our so-called leaders are. This is why our RSO organizations must be heavily involved in educating an ignorant, lead astray society.
Amen! Captain.
Idiot, uneducated politician/lawmakers. What else is new. Much more must be done to push the new information that contradicts the old myths that these morons are basing their decisions on.
You really want gainful employment? All of you still qualify for a Pell Grant. Get an education in engineering and/or machining. They both start at around $15 per hour and can easily move into the $30 range. Otherwise, you’re going to be stuck mowing lawns, working fast food, or in construction forever. You could start a business, but the odds are mostly stacked against you there: start becoming mildly successful and once it’s known about your “situation”, you’re pretty much done. No one can take your education away and the best colleges are in more liberal areas. Once you have a degree stacked with certifications, employers will love to have you. You do not have to disclose your “situation” to your employer or landlord.
