I was under the impression that long ago a law was passed that gave an individual the right to see their own records made by anyone..FBI, medical, everything. Prior to that act it was quite legal to keep "secret" records on someone and distribute them to other parties. This was done to college students by their professors then sent out to potential employers.

Well, well, it is still being done but you have to waive your rights to the critique on yourself. I discovered this in WA state in an application. You sign the waiver then hand out the form to someone who will write detailed information about your abilities or nonabilities then send it in never to be seen by your eyes. You have no opportunity to prove it wrong if mistakes or lies are written on the form.

In due time I will send this form to the ACLU.
