can the police find out where somebody has submitted job applications and then notify

the employer? If a suspect is wanted for something (a domestic violence misdemeanor), would the NYPD monitor where the suspect applies for jobs online and then tell the employer "don't hire person A, he's wanted for a domestic violence misdemeanor"

Or is this paranoid thinking?

Yea it's out there but what makes you think the scenario in the post above is unlikely?

because no state I am aware of has the money and resources available to play babysitter such as that and chase a single person around, especially for something that has not even been proven in court. If the cops had that much info on the guy, they would just go and arrest him.

Let's turn it around.

How do you expect Law Enforcement to even know where a person is applying?

That and it would just never happen - LEO are generally not bad at all at avoiding defamation lawsuits.

I'm jes' sayin'.

Don't LEOs monitor suspects' online activity? And if "person A is wanted for offense B" is true, wouldn't that mean there's no risk of a defamation lawsuit? Plus how would person A even find out that an LEO has made a call to an employer?

Serious question

Not as a rule, no. Not in this country.

It's moot.

The police do NOT have the resources or legal authority to monitor every company's employment website! This is paranoid thinking. But, if you want to set your mind at ease, deal with your criminal problem because the possibility will remain that you could be arrested and lose the job anyway.

Also, if the employer does a background check they will likely find out about the warrant. Chances are they won't notify the police, but you never know.

Serious answer: The police lack the resources to do what you are proposing.

 

[weqas1234]

but doesn't the NYPD have the most resources? When you say resources, do you mean time and money, or do you mean the technical capacity? They may not have the authority to monitor say McDonald's job application, but can't they monitor the sites a suspect visits and find out that she applied for a job @ Starbucks.com and then tell Starbucks not to hire?

Telling a business not to hire based on no conviction?

Hardly.

Are we doing homework?

To monitor the internet and every job application website WITHOUT A WARRANT OR PERMISSION??? Really? There would be no realistic reason to do this, the cost would be high, and the beancounters at the NYPD would go nuts!

When you say resources, do you mean time and money, or do you mean the technical capacity?

All of the above.

They may not have the authority to monitor say McDonald's job application, but can't they monitor the sites a suspect visits and find out that she applied for a job @ Starbucks.com and then tell Starbucks not to hire?

No, they don't. And, assuming they did, why would they? That's a lot of time and effort to get back at someone. The smart move would be to let them start work and then arrest them at the job site! Why discourage the employer from hiring them if it might get the fugitive to come into the open.

But, you are free to remain as paranoid as you wish.

Bottom line: Deal with the problem. The warrant will NOT go away, and you (or whomever) will be looking over their shoulder for the rest of their life waiting for the day the cuffs will be slapped on until it's resolved.

But doesn't telling them that someone is wanted and hasn't been apprehended yet suggest that that person is evading justice?

WHY are you being so hard headed!!!!!

It does more then suggest it. It's actually true. If you are wanted on a warrant, and you have not taken care of it on your own then you are TOTALLY EVADING JUSTICE.

No subliminal suggestion necessary. It's a fact.
