Mostly, because lawmakers, who are doing their best to enact laws to protect individual citizens, often are not aware of the far reaching unintended consequences that may result.

It doesn’t matter who you are, you want to be safe where you work. If you are an employer, you certainly want to ensure your employees work in a safe environment and that workers have the qualifications that they claim. If you are an employee, it is important to have an assurance that you are not working with those who could cause you or your co-workers harm. For employers, just one bad hiring decision can create a legal and financial nightmare.  One way to reduce risk is through pre and post employment screening, most commonly called a background check.
