Criminal Records, continued..
A state will only provide criminal records for "state" crimes.
Local Counties provide reports for crimes in their jurisdiction. If an individual is charged for a local crime it might not show up in a state database and vice versa.
A federal crime or a local crime would not be included. Each agency only keeps records for the laws under it's jurisdiction. An FBI report should only cover Federal Crimes. I've never heard of anyone requesting or providing such a report. I imagine it would take a long time to get and not be easy to procure. Because each agency has limited records they should only provide reports for crimes under their jurisdiction.
ABOUT PROOF OF NO CRIMINAL RECORD IN THE US
I'm not sure about any new regulations or requirements for certification of no criminal record.
If you have a current job and visa I expect you are not required to provide a new criminal background certificate.
In the US there is no national record of criminal activity that can be readily provided to an individual.
If you are in China, the Embassy or Consulate will not provide this.
In the past one merely obtained a letter from their local city or town police agency which will state your criminal record in that specific location ONLY. In other words, if you committed a crime in one town, you simply provide evidence from another town and the local police will only check the records under their jurisdiction. Their letter will state clearly the area that their records pertain to.
The US, unlike China, does not provide a national criminal record and I imagine you would have very serious trouble providing more than the above.
I was only required to provide such a letter upon my initial job application several years ago and what I gave was a letter from the police from a small town. I don't have any criminal record anywhere but there is no easy way to provide that, especially if you are not in the US.
Lot of crap if you ask me...
My university told me there is no new requirement to append such a certificate. A call to Chengdu US Embassy resulted in a similar response.
Of course China can ask for anything they want to but that doesn't mean they will get what they ask for.
There is a great new movie called Personal Tailor 私人订制 directed by
Feng Xiaogang and starring Ge You. It's hilarious and amazing that they allow the themes shown as they are mocking some current issues in a very direct way but through comedy. We were surprised!
I've got an excellent Canon 5D MKII and a 24-105 F4 L lens for sale here in Kunming.
This rig is excellent and does everything you'll need. The lens is perfect for everything from wide angle to portraits and short telephoto. If you want a full frame 35mm DSLR you cannot go wrong with this setup.
It's a little more than one year old. Price is negotiable but not cheap.
Canon has great "L" lenses. Anyone who says different probably hasn't used them.
The quality is excellent.
No results found.
Slice of Heaven has some nice food, its very clean and comfortable and the staff try very hard to please. I can understand Barbara is trying to run a business and it's her right to set the pricing. A large pizza for 20 quai was a bargain for sure. Obviously it was not a money maker without other sales. Anyone can be brisk from time to time but generally I think it's a good place.
I don't drink alcohol at all and was surprised that the place was 1/2 empty on a Friday night. The change in policy reflects a decent establishment trying to stay in business. We should support this nice little respite.
Minivan plunges off Yunnan cliff, killing twelve
Posted byKunming city road washers must suspend washing the roads when the temperatures fall below 0.
Up until now they have been completely unaware of their ability to create icy roads by spraying water when temperatures are below freezing.
How can we ask the local officials to make this change? I can't speak Chinese and this is could be a serious problem not only in Kunming but in other areas.
Rare snow dusts Kunming, causes problems
Posted byWhile the snow has gone the cold continues. What is most dismaying is the continued water washing of the city roads while morning temperatures are -5 or more degrees below 0.
I'm just surprised there haven't been horrendous vehicle accidents caused by ice forming from the road washing.
It would be much safer if the road washing were discontinued during these sub freezing temperatures. Rush hour traffic is bad enough without ice....
Changshui once again closed by fog
Posted byDo we have any factual information on the fog problem? Is it worse in December? January? Is it related to cold temps or some specific weather pattern?
I missed a Beijing flight last December because of fog. My 9:50am flight to Beijing was delayed until noon but we did get out that day. Because of that experience I was thinking I could expect to make it out of Kunming late and then get lodged in a hotel in Beijing when I miss my connection to SFO but if they are shutting the airport down for a full day then all bets are off.
If this is a reoccurring problem I wonder how it will play out. You could have fog for several days...
You can take off in fog a lot more easily than landing so air traffic controllers can allow planes on the ground to leave. Of course if your plane has to arrive here from somewhere else and is not on the ground already in the morning that is no help.
An Asiana flight had a bad crash in San Francisco earlier this year but that was strictly pilot error and with no fog.
Kunming to monetize street vendor chaos
Posted byMaybe I'm just a laowai but I find the street vendors to be a nuisance, unregulated and often quite rude.
One of the problems with Kunming is the complete chaos of parking motorbikes and cars everywhere and these vendors who block the sidewalks and make pedestrian traffic very slow and difficult, and sometimes dangerous for pedestrians.
The vendors with the audio speakers that blast their price over and over I find completely obnoxious. Most Chinese people that I have talked to about this also don't like the noise but they put up with it because it is so common.
I empathize with their need to make a living but there should be some equal regulation and not just in some areas of the city. It should not be allowed to obstruct vehicle traffic, especially when the customers have to walk in the street between buses, cars and bikes with the vendors safely on the sidelines.
Hong Shan Dong Lu is completely paralyzed by these vendors.
I suppose this is a rant but I would like to see some order to the chaos. I suppose I'm crazy to believe it could be different but I do.
Photos of flash flooding in Yunnan's capital
Posted byI'm in the states right now. Anyone know if the flooding reached Hong Shan Dong Lu?
I don't suppose there there any flood maps or elevation maps that show which areas are lowest in Kunming?
Anybody know where the flooding occurred in Wuhua?
