A comment on thee right to vote: Voting is choosing our masters for a given period of time. It is actually a process that is highly anti-democratic because it results in choosing the champion of one of the two teams that have the biggest amouint of money and the biggest media visibility. So depraving or granting the right to vote to a criminal is of no relevance.
Should criminal records be checked: I believe that a number of profession should require a criminal record check. Do we want a convicted felon to become a policeman? The answer seems rather obvious. I think though that if someone is legally deemed not suitable for a job because of legal reasons, that person should be made fully aware of it, and that attempting to get such a job should be considered a felony. Thus, a condemned p*dophile would be offcialy notified that he would not have the right to become a teacher, and that attempting to work in a school would lead to further conviction but working as an online teacher could be permitted for example.
