Daily News | Two Philly security guards sue Krasner and Pa. over law restricting their employment
“Pennsylvania is definitely among the most restrictive, if not the most restrictive,” said Jamie Gullen, managing attorney of the Employment Unit at Community Legal Services, which provides legal services to low-income Philadelphians.
Allied Universal fired Ash because a prior criminal conviction made his employment as a security guard a violation of the Private Detective Act, the lawsuit said. He was found guilty of three misdemeanors in 2006 related to a physical fight “instigated by a coworker,” the lawsuit said, and hadn’t been charged with any other crimes since.
Patterson and Ash are suing the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and District Attorney Larry Krasner, whose office enforces the Private Detective Act. The lawsuit noted that in 2015, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court found that a lifetime ban on individuals with convictions holdingwas unconstitutional. Lawyers for Patterson and Ash argue that the ban on their employment in the Private Detective Act is also unconstitutional.
