When people break laws willfully and I know about it I don’t hire them. People who willfully break laws and are belligerent about it pose too many risks. There are too many really good prospects out there for me to risk hiring someone who is just going to cause problems.
I think the primary problem is the belligerence. People break laws, it happens. Often deliberately. That’s the price of an over legislated country. You can choose not to hire them if you want, but frankly it just proves my point, especially since we all know for a fact that everybody in this country breaks laws. You’re just focusing on some laws, and you’re paranoid and nosy. Good luck with that.
