I recently tried to buy travel insurance. I had to check a box that I'd never been suspected of criminal activities, even if I was found to not be guilty (!), otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to buy the insurance.

This was in the Netherlands, btw.

Hi Vinnl! I hereby inform you that I suspect you have committed a crime at some point.

Congratulations you are now ineligible >:]

The ultimate free lunch in insurance.

That’s weird. I’ve never been convicted of anything, but I was a suspect once, briefly. It’s funny to realize that could actually impact my life in any way.

Also, I wonder how the insurance company would ever know someone was a suspect, if they weren’t arrested. Sometimes, suspects don’t even realize they’re suspects.

I don't think there able to know - after all, I had to manually tick the box.
