Yes, sort of, but not really. Confused? I could give you the long answer, but the short answer is simple. You cannot be Legally discriminated against for refusing to take a background check.

If you won't pass the check, and you already know whether you will or not, then adamantly refuse to give anyone permission for any background check whatsoever. They may check anyway, but will not be legally allowed to use what they find. Know in advance, that failing the background check will result in automatic dismissal from your post. You will be lied to, and told that there is no harm in failing, but that is to trick you into giving permission. Remember that often the chack has already been done, they just need your permission to use what they found. Don't give it.

You also cannot be prosecuted for Lying. It does not matter what is written on any form. Perjury can only prosecuted if it is done under oath in open court.

Obviously if you are caught lying, you will be discriminated against, but the entire purpose of a background check is so that others can Legally discriminate against you. Fight back by lying, stonewalling and obfuscating in any way possible.
