THIS RAP SHEET WAS PRODUCED IN RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING REQUEST:
FBI NUMBER 0000003
STATE ID NUMBER GA00003T (GA)
ARN 07-7-2
PURPOSE CODE W
ATTENTION Ed Aaron
THE INFORMATION IN THIS RAP SHEET IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CAVEATS:
THIS RESPONSE IS BEING PRODUCED FOR YOUR REQUEST SENT: 2007-09-04 (GA; 2007—08—
11)
IMPORTANT! CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION IS OBTAINED ONE OF TWO
WAYS: 1) BY CONDUCTING AN INQUIRY USING PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS SUCH AS
NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH (NAME SEARCH), OR 2) BY SUBMITTING FINGERPRINT
CARDS TO THE GEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER (GCIC) . WHEN CONDUCTING A
NAME SEARCH FOR CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION, THERE IS A
POSSIBILITY THAT THE INFORMATION RETURNED BELONGS TO A DIFFERENT PERSON
WITH THE SANE, OR SIMILAR, IDENTIFIERS. IN THIS CASE, A POSITIVE MATCH
OF THE PERSON WHOSE CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD IS SOUGHT REQUIRES
SUBMISSION OF FINGERPRINT CARDS TO GCIC. WHEN CONDUCTING A FINGERPRINT
SEARCH FOR CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION, THE INFORMATION
RETURNED DOES, IN FACT, BELONG TO THE INDIVIDUAL. IN THIS CASE,
CONDUCTING A NAME SEARCH USING THE INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS
WOULD BE THE SAME INFORMATION. (GA; 2007-08-11)
WHEN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN A CRIMINAL HISTORY REPORT CAUSES AN
ADVERSE EMPLOYMENT OR LICENSING DECISION THE INDIVIDUAL, BUSINESS OR
AGENCY MAKING THE DECISION MUST INFORM THE APPLICANT OF ALL INFORMATION
PERTINENT TO THE DECISION. THE DISCLOSURE MUST INCLUDE INFORMATION THAT
A CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD CHECK WAS CONDUCTED, THE SPECIFIC CONTENTS OF
THE RECORD AND THE EFFECT THE RECORD HAD UPON THE DECISION. FAILURE TO
PROVIDE ALL SUCH INFORMATION TO THE PERSON SUBJECT TO THE ADVERSE
DECISION IS A MISDEMEANOR OFFENSE UNDER GEORGIA LAW. ADDITIONALLY, ANY
UNAUTHORIZED DISSEMINATION OF THIS RECORD OR INFORMATION HEREIN ALSO
VIOLATES GEORGIA LAW. (GA; 2007-08-11)
IN THE EVENT THAT IDENTIFIERS ARE NOT CLEARLY ASSOCIATED TO A SPECIFIC
CYCLE, THE INFORMATION IS MOST LIKELY NON-FINGERPRINT BASED INFORMATION
RECEIVED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AT THE TIME OF RELEASE FROM
INCARCERATION. (GA; 2007-08-11)
