What do I do if I want to date a criminal. I think chicks that have done jail time are hot! I propose a site where you can search their criminal record. I'm looking for a SF brunette who's has at least one armed robbery conviction (plea downs are also acceptable) proof of criminal record required.

Heh... Personally I think that a more.. aggressive personal info on dating sites approach should be used. That is, SSN at the very least (or equivelent for other countries)

Then again, data safety becomes important.

Screenings legislation will never work despite the good intentions. It's too easy for anyone to bypass.

This sounds like such a great idea until you think of how many loop holes there would be in the system. Its important to make on-line dating safe but you still have be cautious.

There are federal laws that govern online dating...many believe it is a violation of our constitutional rights and there is movement to change the law. Not sure I can post the link here for a site that you need to visit to learn more (it is not my site), but here it is. http://www.online-dating-rights.com

Our rights keep being taken away in favor of special interest groups morality or at least what a few think is moral.

Way to many flaws ar possible in this screening legislation. And what about the privacy? I hate the approach "once a criminal always a criminal", but one should know already that legislators aren't always that logical.
