background check

[buckeye44]

does anyone know this, maybe there is a police officer or someone in the know? i got a customs siezure letter about 5 years ago. only had one, would that show up on a background check for a new job? the background check would be done by the airline industry and tsa! i wouldnt think so but if anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I doubt it unless you where applying for customs.

What ever happends at customs doesnt go to the police station, unless you are charged or something happends with a control delivery. I woulndt worry about it.

Think of it this way, if you dont like someone, you can ship them something illegal and do on purpose for it to get stopped at customs, then they would have a record on file... doesnt make sence

[TheNatural3456]

yea i really doubt it unless you took some type of action...because you have no idea why someone would try to ship you something like that...

The only things that show up on police checks are criminal records. If you haven't been taken down the nick and charged, your fine.

You're fine...No way that's on your record

[WorkinHard2Day]

Doubt it very much as you are not being actually charged.

***ends what the background check is for.

any local, state or private sector will conduct a normal backgound check of:
criminal - which list all crimes arrested for and court outcomes.
motor vehicle
financial - tax / credit report
Education - grades / displine / attendance
work experience
Medical

All of which you should sign a waiver for.


Customs most defenitly has a record of the letter. There is no customs data base that is availabe to other agencies without a request.

IMO viva is very correct.

most ppl dont even check,the fact that u signed the permission form is enough for most,i had a check done on me it came back no criminal record when infact ive been to prison,a buddy has been about 4 times and his came back clear too,***ends on wether the employer will bother checking
