You should certainly check that out; I understand that many ex-convicts have obtained law degrees and made careers in the legal field, as lawyers, private investigators, parole officers, sometimes even as cops.  Restrictions vary by state.  Your felony conviction will remain on your record (as you know) but it is not necessarily an impediment.  Good luck.

If you haven't gone before the Judge yet you might still have a chance of having it expunged from your record after 2 years, through a pretrial diversion program.  Depending on what you were arrested for, and if the Judge agrees to this you will have to take a class relating to whatever your crime was, pay court fees, and keep your record clean for 2 years following the class.  If you do not get in any more trouble, your record will be cleared.  However, if you commit another crime you will have the current charges and previous charges weighed against you.  I would recommend you talk to the Prosecuting attorney who is in charge of your case about the Pretrial Diversion program ASAP and see if you qualify. \n\nIf you have already gone before the Court, well you are pretty much stuck with the Misdemeanor forever.....sorry!!!

You will get a background check when you have the job.  The misdemeanors are a very negative part of your background.  They are usually looking for major convictions.  If you were at a young age the time period may be considered

no, call your probation officer, and if you can't make it back on time for court make sure you notify your probation officer if you don't you can be arrested for failure to appear in court

That would be STATUTE of limitations, which has nothing to do with probation or parole.  Please restate your question.

I'm a probation officer, and here in Indiana, juveniles can stay on probation as long as the court wants to order them to be on probation.  It doesn't matter if they turn 18 or 21 while they are on probation.  What's important is that they were under 18 when they committed their offense.  As far as the court is concerned, the person is still legally a juvenile until he or she completes all his terms of probation or is unsuccessfully terminated from probation.\n\nI can refuse to allow a juvenile probationer to move out of his/her parent's home even if the probationer has turned 18. I can also insist on the probationer following the established curfew even though he/she is over 18.\n\nYou really need to discuss these issues with your probation officer.  The standards may be different for your state, or your officer might be more lenient or more strict.

Your probation officer will give you a list to chose from or he may just tell you where you will perform your community service.\nThe police can not tell you anything about community service, it is court decided.

I have seen low-level misdemeanor "Theft by Check" (Hot Check) warrants surface after 15 years. However, let me say that 20+ years ago the criminal background records were not maintained very well. If your offense was a low-level misdemeanor then it may have never been put in the system. However if you are really interested you can easily find out. Just call the local sheriff's office where the offense occurred (albeit 23 years ago) and just ask to speak to a person in the warrants section. Give them your name and date of birth and ask if you have a warrant. If you do have a warrant the sheriff's office will tell you.

You are fine.   You have not been convicted of a felony, so check "NO."   \n\nWho doesn't have a misdemeanor or two these days, thanks to our politicians "getting tough on crime"?    Good luck to you.

probation is apart of the criminal justice system. If you want to take a second major in criminal justice. But if your major is criminal justice then it is easy talk to the probation people in your area and write a term paper on the reasons of and ete of the probation fields.

No!  You completed a diversion, and part of that priviledge is not having to report misdemeanors on job applications.  Because you completed a diversion, you DON'T HAVE a misdemeanor.

When you were originally placed on probation (or deferred adjudication) you should have received a probation agreement package that you signed.  It contains the conditions of your probation.  You will have to read it for your individual conditions but generally being arrested for anything (speeding tickets included) will be a violation of your probation.\n\nOnce you have committed an act that violates your probation the judge has the option of reinstating the suspended sentence that you were on probation to avoid.  If your original sentence was two years than you could go to jail for the full two years.  It usually doesn't come down to that but you need to be proactive.  Your probation officer will not be happy if he has been signing off that your monthly visits are all good and then he finds out that you have another offense that he was unaware of.  Your probation officer can be your best friend or worst enemy.  The judge will usually rubber stamp whatever he says needs to be done.\n\nBite the bullet and call your probation officer.

It depends upon the misdemeanor and the felony.

Well, parole is FELONY, and probation is misdemeanor.

I wish you had provided more information.  If I understand you correctly you violated probation 3 years ago.  \n\nIf that is correct, you will be given a hearing after you turn yourself in or get arrested.  It depends on why you were violated.  By not showing up, however, is enough for you to be violated.\n\nSuggestion, contact a bail bond agent and make arrangements for a bail bond then turn yourself in.  Generally the judge will be more open to explanations about your situation if you take responisibility and turn yourself in.  \n\nBe aware, however, some states do not allow you to be bonded out on probation violations until disposition is complete.  \n\nGood luck!

Depends on where you live and what the stipulations of your probation are...call your PO.
