No, but some of them ask the question early on the application process.

Could be a weed out point by default, as an easy point to disqualify the resume in a pile even if it isn’t an integrity crime like theft or even something relevant to the role.

And if you lie on it, as revealed in the potential background check later, the company (rightly so) will likely withdraw their offer.
