    It really shouldn’t be legal to ask if someone was a non-violent felon (violent felons would need a different classification).

        I know it is, I just don’t think it should be. Way to many non-violent drug users have their lives ruined over an addiction.

          Agreed. Our one-chance system is designed to kill addicts. Prison is not rehabilitation, and often leads to the homeless/prison cycle for those who struggle with addiction.

      There are some things it’s relevant for, in terms of financial crimes or pharmaceuticals.

      Or a rape charges for working in a SA survivor clinic.

      Elder abuse in nursing homes…

      Etc.

      And all of a sudden when see why we just need to stop categorizing things into felony/misdemeanor and take cases individually
