I'm not well versed in the ways of law enforcement, but it seems to me that
judging a person based on an arrest record goes against the fundamental
principle of US jurisprudence: innocent until proven guilty.
While arrest records may correlate with convictions, it seems to me that
using an arrest as the basis for an eviction would be on shaky legal ground.
Any legal eagles out there care to comment?
I've often heard of problem tenants, and heard landlords complain that it's
"almost impossible" to do anything about them. I hope that is not true. In
any event, let's use a standard of proof, rather than one of suspicion, to
evict a tenant.
