Criminal records check, who can access information. Would they give me the benefit of the dount. First and only Offence.Would it be best to be honest?Punishment 40 hours community service (Abusive words and or behaviour) is the conviction.

If you aren't honest, and they check, you can be banned from receiving a visa *ever*, as well as having that information passed to other embasseys (not only the criminal part of it, but your lie).

if there was no court date and she paid the fine, that means she either signed a paper admitting guilt or accepted a plea of guilt. It would seem that as a juvenile, it would disappear from an adult record, however I think your driving record is public record. Those things come back to haunt you, I am speaking from experience. There are laws to get certain offences "exponged" from your record. The laws vary from state to state. My particular crime is not expongable for ten years in Indiana, for example. It has cost me more then one good job. It seems unfair -if you paid for your crime and have not repeated the same mistakes, you should be able to move on with your life. Especially if many years have gone by. However big brother is watching. I signed a release of information at one job and they checked not only my criminal history but my credit, education, job, and personal history. Since 2005, when they passed The Patriot Act, eight out of ten employers do an extensive background check. it is supposed to cover their asp in case they hire someone who comes in one day and shoots up the place. I can see if it were a violent crime or a crime against a child, but for the most part we all made mistakes when we were young. some of us just got caught. We are just as hire able as the guy that hasn't learned his lesson yet, and a hell of alot less likely to make another mistake

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

i really do not think those pictures will matter because there will be a chance the judge or magistrate will think they were fooled around with so no luck there.... If this is your first offense you are prolly looking at a fine plus court costs and maybe some community service no sweat pay your fines and do the service...

What did this person do before they met you? Were they in trouble? They had to do something for the department of corrections to have a record on them. Records are not made up.

Having been charged and convicted are two different things. If I knew for sure that someone had been convicted I would delve in to the matter a lot more. At one time, I would have said mind your own business, but in view of all the horrible things that have happened to children, I would have to bring it to social services. Please do not proceed unless you really have something solid and well founded. This little girl has obviously been traumatized a lot being taken away from her parents. Depending on the charge, some people can change. Did you read about this person in the newspaper or did someone gossip about this situation? Which ever way you go, let your conscience be your guide.

If you haven't been convicted, you don't have a crime.\n\nI've known convicted felons who have served as probation officers after they've served their sentences and been released and accumulated a good record of community involvement and service. Parole officer, I'm sure, has much stricter guidelines.\n\nThis is such a state-by-state, county-by-county position that no one answer can be definitive. I would recommend talking to a local judge for his view on this, and possibly his sponsorship toward these positions.

I was in the exact same situation when I was 19.  I had a totally clean record and had taken about $27 worth of stuff from a grocery store.  I did not have a job and I didn't want my mom to find out.\n\nI went to court on the date I was supposed to appear and I used the public defender that they had.  I was fined $500 plus another $100 (?) in court fees and given one year to do 40 hours of community service.  I think I was placed on probation for a year.   \n\nThe weird part was that they had told me something about how if I completed the 40 hours of community service it would be wiped off my record (?) because it was my first offense (something like that).  They kept saying the words 'misdemeanor' and 'felony'.  I could have sworn that they told me that if I didn't do my community service that it would be bumped up to a felony.  I don't see how that could have been true.  The whole thing was such a blur because I was so scared.  I was sure they were going to send me to jail.  \n\nI had to borrow the money from my boyfriend and I paid the fine.  My mom never found out.  A year went by and I never did the community service (long story).  When I returned to court when the year was up, I told the judge that I didn't do the community service and he said 'OK' and that was it.  I left.  I have no clue what I ended up actually being charged with and I've never seen my record.

Its public record.  If you know the county you can go there and request information, however it will not be for free.  Just small min. cost.

Unless it was a formal caution it won't show. An enhanced check will show cautions and for some jobs the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act does not apply and spent convictions and cautions would show no matter how long ago.

If you were acquitted, there will be no record so it will not affect your job search. You need not even list it on an application. That being said, I have seen many potential employees with similar questions and found over the years that "thrown out of court" can mean numerous other outcomes besides acquittal. If you received a STET docket or PBJ, those are different than innocence. The charges exist and essentially the state and yourself agree that the state has enough evidence to convict you but the elect to not try the case. If this was the real outcome it could certainly have a negative impact on your job search unless it was expunged.

$10.00 fine! Pfft What a joke! Should be 100 hours community service.\n\nCivil citations in many states are usually issued to first time youth offenders to punish ($10. lol) and offer them a second chance from receiving a criminal record.\n\nStealing a second time will probably result in criminal charges and a criminal record which will appear on all background checks.

there's no definite answer to this.  it's all up to ICE (immigration and custom's enforcement) and DHS (department of homeland security).  they have an overload of cases to deal with and process.  so it can be tomorrow or 20 years from now.  but i can ensure u that there will be a time when they getcha.  believe me, im going through it now (...in my case, they got me on my max out date).  whatever you do, try to redeem yourself and do no wrong.  build a good moral character, work, etc etc.  most importantly, try to get your record expunged or vacated before ICE/DHS getcha.  real talk.

A used to work for a background screening company, and I know for a fact that some companies don't even want to know about criminal records for an applicant if it is less than a felony.\n\nMost companies are going to have you fill out an application, and there will be a spot on the form where they ask you about that sort of thing. But read the fine print, it may ask you to omit certain things (usually traffic-related stuff, sometimes drug misdemeanors over 2 years old, etc).\n\nUnless they have asked you about it or it is implied that you should've already brought it to their attention, I wouldn't bring it up. That's a judgement call, obviously, but you don't want to sound like you think it might disqualify you from consideration. (Be confident!)

You're asking a complex question\n\nObstruction, as in Martha Stewart interfering with an investigation?\n\nLying to an officer, as in making a statement after waiving Miranda Rights, signing a Crime Report?\n\nOfficers from your State jurisdiction, or officers from Federal jurisdiction?\n\nThe truth coming out, as in being prosecuted?  Yes, whether or not you are found guilty...A prosecution by, say, a DA will appear on your record and not subject to expungement\n\nA good job, as in for Dept of Defense? not if you need a security clearance\n\nA good job, as in confiction of a felony?  quite likely a company still asks these questions about whether you've had conviction of a felony\n\nA good job, as in a misdemeanor? don't volunteer information unless it is required on the job application

you can go to the police department and ask for the specific information you need.  they will be required to make copies of the reports for you, for a fee, under the Sunshine laws, or open records acts

I was jailed for 10 months for assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. I lied to the police about the whereabouts of my then boyfriend who was wanted by the police. My boyfriend had stabbed somebody that beat up his sister badly and i covered up for him. I thought my sentence was pretty harsh and still do as hit and run drivers get a fine and 3 points even if the victim dies.I wasn't a danger to or harmed anyone.
