A comic about my experience last week getting a Criminal Record Check:
I signed up to volunteer for “Cycling Without Age”, a project of Bike Friendly Communities to pair “pilots” to cycling a tri-shaw for those who cannot cycle otherwise.
To volunteer requires a “Criminal Record Check” from the police dept. I submitted mine…
A few days later:
“Hello?”
“Is this Peter?”
“Yes!”
“I’m calling from the police…”
The police called and asked if I’d ever been fingerprinted for a “Criminal Record Check” before. I HAD BEEN ! Three years ago to volunteer at a school fundraiser.
They needed to see my fingerprints. Why? Because there is a criminal who shares my EXACT DATE OF BIRTH! “People can change their name, but not their birthday,” he said. I showed them. I’m good to go.
