My feeling is that if you were convicted of a crime, then it should be searchable with a reasonable cause.  Such as foster care agencies, schools, day cares - they are legitimate needs and Virginia should make it easier to obtain records on the violators.  If a person doesn't have any records, then what are they afraid of?

I totally agree and also would like the process to be electronically submitted for faster responses.  It takes 30 days and sometimes longer to obtain results back.  In the meantime, the individuals are waiting to become foster parents, or obtain employment.
