If someone is born into a family of crime does that automatically make them suspect by the FBI?

It's kinda obvious (sp?) if your family has a history of major  crimes then they'll keep an eye on you but probaly wont tap your phones or nothing.

Absolutely NOT unless they have a warrant. I have nothing to hide, but I do NOT need someone else to verify that for me, nor to think they need to do so.

I would need more info. like what was he in custody for. If he was here illegally he was probably deported. If he has ties to any terrorist activity he is probably being held for interrogation somewhere. If it is for some other reason the FBI is not obligated to release the information to the public. I think your hands are tied until the person gets in touch with you.

The government gives you new names, new SSI numbers, a new address in another part of the country, new jobs, everything. All ties to your former life are severed and you start a whole new life. The only way you can be found is if you are recognized by someone. The only records of what happened to the former you are held by the FBI

Why would you want to know. Are you working for the FBI or something.

I assume South Australia is doing what a lot of the states are here in the US.  They are storing the information in order to help solve crimes.  There have been SEVERAL cases in the states where old crimes have been solved based on what they call a "cold hit" with someone's DNA matching the crime scene evidence but had no other way of knowing it was that person (it is always re-tested to make sure).\n\nIt is also being used for solving future crimes in the same manner, when the crime scene DNA is entered, there may be DNA already in the system matching it.\n\nAt this point, at least in CA, only convicted felons' DNA is going on file (along with a few others under court order only).  So the average joe won't be in the system unless they were a victim or something like that.\n\nI don't believe it will be a public system, none in the states are.  I am not sure what good a genetic profile would do an average citizen, but none of the names of those individuals in the system is public here for privacy rights.  I would assume only law enforcement would have access.\n\nThe best way to find out is to contact your govt official, they should be able to tell you what the parameters of your law is.

who is doing the background check? If they are using your fingerprints to check the FBI data base which should contain all state law enforcement data (although not updated as fast as it should someitmes), then you better believe it that they will find it!

most FBI agents are Lawyers and Some are directly recruited for skills like computer fraud or law enforcement pros  or  accountants theres probably a recruiter that can direct you on the website contact them and express your interest

I would imagine so. Not the hard core stuff, but checking if you're a wanted criminal or something... that I'm pretty sure they do.

From an archived news story reported by the AP: For the second time in two months, Ohio Rep. James Traficant took to the House floor to allege a connection between organized crime and the FBI. He also repeated a prediction that he will be indicted as part of a Justice Department corruption investigation.  \n\n"There may be an indictment any day," the eight-term Democrat said Monday [June 26, 2000]. "But during this period of time where I have been targeted, I have been investigating the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department in the northern district of Ohio.\n\n"FBI agents in the northern district of Ohio have been on the payroll of the mob," Traficant charged. "They have been bankrolled by the mob."\n\nTraficant also repeated his allegation that an FBI informant in Ohio once told him the agency had asked the informant to commit murder.

Yes, if they would be asked by the Federal Agencies and International Court.\nUnless, they would suspect any visitor or malicious involvement reported.\n\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

Yes, with warrants.  But if you are suspected of terrorist ties, they might monitor you without a warrant.

It depends on the intent when the crime was committed. Ex. Murder one is premeditated with malicious intent.

The FBI will do an investigation on various aspects of your life from the forms you fill out. They will check finance, friends, family, drug use, recreational activity, political affiliations,etc... They will conduct interviews of family, friends, and acquaintances. They'll check you addresses, criminal record, etc..\n\nThey are looking for anything that may indicate a possible compromise of the info you will encounter/create that could lead a breach of "national security.\n\nThe investigation could take as little as 6 months or as much as 2-3 years(or more) depending on the info you furnish, the access you'll be granted, and the amount in your past. \n\nUntil the investigation is complete you will probably receive an interim clearance that will allow your schooling and "work" with limited access to sensitive compartmented information.

if they are then they have a warrant and there must be a very good reason for doing so.  if they do it illegally then it just ruins their case against the suspect

Sounds like some people have the right answer, but for the wrong reason and some people have the wrong answer for a completely stupid reason. You can get in trouble if they can prove that you knew they were illegally in America, Very hard to prove I might add. Being in their home is not further proof of you being an accomplice. It just proves that you know the people and entered their house. It does not prove that you knew they were illegal. Guilt by association does not work either. If this was the case, the person that sold them the home, the neighbors, the friends, anyone that had even talked to them (Wal*Mart employees, gas station attendants, etc...) would be guilty by the same association.Just being in the house would make you suspect of being an illegal alien as well. Once you show proof of papers (whatever they may require) you would be off the hook. I would like to dispel am allegation by luvzitusa. She said that "Being an illegal is a felony!!!" I will give her this. But her next statement "It's like being with sombody who robbed a bank,you're still counted as an accessory!!!!!" is a lie. You are counted as an accessory if you HELP the person rob a bank. If you are a friend eating at their house, you did not know it happened, you did not help them, you were not there when it was premeditated. You are not held accountable unless you had knowledge of it. Its that simple luvzitusa. Now for Panacea's statement. "Most illegals are criminals." I suppose that is why it is called illegal huh? But that should be obvious. I would also like to know where you get your statistic "most". This is a broad generalization upon a people group and can easily be refuted. You may want to rephrase this statement. I would also like to know where you get your stat when you say "That means they engage in criminal activity. Likely, they have drugs on the premises." This too is a broad generalization. I agree, if there are drugs, you can be arrested. That would make you an accomplice, with one major condition. If you are doing the drugs or if they are currently being done on the premises, whether you know about it or not. If the drugs are hidden, and you didn't know that they existed you would not get in trouble.\n\nTo make a long answer even longer, no you would not get in trouble for eating with an illegal alien supposing you didn't help them or know about it. And if you did know about it, it would be hard for the government to prove it.

It can be linked to a specific person because of the DNA \nin it.
