What if someone ordered food delivery and had a sex offense?

Indeed, someone who witnessed this petition to the Blue House to prevent this, Ssubs News pointed out.

What if the food guy who came to your house was a sex offender?

One national petition posted on the Blue House bulletin board on the 8th.

The sex offender was asked to make a law to prevent delivery.

The petitioner saw the sex offender mail, and the man listed there was a delivery agent.

[Applicant: (Delivery Agency) I was riding a motorcycle with the logo on it.

The rest of the petitioner posted it to the Internet community and the owner of the company told me.

I knew I had a sex crime, but I complained that there was no law that I shouldn't be hired.

Well… Everyone has the freedom to choose a job.

Anyone should include a conviction.

But for the consumer, there may be concerns.

Most of the time, like food delivery, you have to meet the delivery guy directly.

In addition, personal information such as phone numbers and addresses have already been passed on to businesses.

[A 22-year-old / food delivery user: the deliveryman knows my personal information and home address, so when I meet face to face I will know that I live alone (I'm worried).]

[B's 24 years old / food delivery user: I'm always alone at home, but I'm always scared, so I just leave food outside.]

There is something to look out for here.

In the case of a courier who does a similar job, people who already have a history of sex offenses are restricted from finding employment.

The Freight Vehicle Transportation Business Law, which was revised in July, stipulates that a person who commits a violent crime, such as a sex crime, cannot work in the courier service for up to 20 years.

It's because of the need to protect consumers from some of the most powerful offenders.

Food delivery and courier delivery are both face-to-face services that deliver goods to consumers. Why does the courier service limit employment and food delivery?

To be a courier, you must obtain a license under the Lorry Transportation Business Act.

As I said a while ago, anyone who commits a violent crime, such as a sex offense, will be rescinded.

However, delivery drivers using motorcycles, such as motorcycles, do not need a separate license.

Even if you are a sex offender, there is no law restricting your employment.

[Attorney Lee In-hwan: At the time of discussing (restriction on the employment of strong criminals), there was no need for (delivery regulation) as the delivery agency was not active. It is not necessary to make this part (delivery business) even a regulation through prompt revision of the law.]

With the growth of the delivery app, shouldn't there be effective measures for consumers to feel safe as the delivery service is actively used?
