Certain occupations like the military, police, fire and defense routinely use fingerprinting, background investigations and polygraphic examinations. Hell, I even got fingerprinted when I taught school. Don't need a Registered Sex Offender "teaching" kids. And before anyone asks, no, I am not an RSO.
I served 4 years in the US Navy, handling and/or near nuclear materials, and then 30 years in Defense as a civilian.

I had a boss that regularly implanted some of my female coworkers. Fortunately, the program was voluntary and I was not asked to participate.

Going serious for a moment,
I was 'asked' to submit to the security clearance process at a former employer. For anyone who's been at AF for more than a week, it's clear your vorlon has not led the kind of life that would bear much in the way of governmental scrutiny, and I was quite aware of that. And in that time frame, I was also up to my eyeballs in an AIDS/HIV volunteer program and was myself chock a block full of confidential information regarding many other people besides myself, too, and note this was in an era bereft of much in the way of recognized rights for gays. Lesbians, BT&Q, and ESPECIALLY, people with active HIV or who were just + for the virus.
So, I penned a "I decline processing for a security clearance . . . " memo to the appropriate office at my company, and then waited for the shit to hit the fan.
I was fully prepared to get canned over this matter, and deemed that preferable to the alternative. As it turned out, my supervisor was EXTREMELY pissed, I was reassigned to a different project, but I wasn't fired, but I did not know that going in to that particular clusterfuck.
So, from my vantage, more power to folks with convictions and the intestinal fortitude to take the 'hit' if it comes to that. I've been there, for me it turned out 'OK', but I was fully prepared to clean out my desk and go home if it came to it. I'm not expecting others to take a choice/stand that I didn't myself have a very similar experience with.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
