In Indiana, we were told that they can go back and look at your entire criminal history including juvenile offenses.  We were told that we should list all offenses for which we were arrested even if we have had those offenses expunged.\n\nNot every offense will disqualify a person from becoming a probation officer.  Serious offenses will, of course, but minor offenses will not.  At orientation, they did state that if you had a conviction but did not tell them and they found out through the background search, you would lose your position.

It depends on the state and it depends on the felony.\n\nMany states won't permit a convicted felon a real estate license. \n\nSome states may permit a convicted felon a license if the nature of the felony does not reflect poor moral perpitude. For example, if your felony was drug dealing, you may be able to get a license. If your felony was embezzlement, you probably won't get a license. \n\nIn some instances, if the state denies you a license, you can appeal. Or, you can directly appeal to the licensing board while making your application.\n\nIn short, your first step is to contact the state licensing agency.

Like you said a lot of people tried drugs, Cocaine is pretty serious so you have an uphill battle in explaining. But I work with people who have had felonies that were reduced down to misdemeanors. Good luck, it all comes down to explaining your past and turning a negative into a positive. You might want to give up the federal dream, but with business background and more years since your usage it will help you a lot with the feds so your never know there either. It is all worth it making the world abeter place.

As soon as you have been tried and convicted, the felony is entered into the law enforcement data banks as soon as the paperwork can be processed. This can take a few days and has allowed for a few slip-ups in the judicial processes being used to assess the felon, if he is moved around a lot before being permanently placed to do his sentence. I have heard of convicted killers serving part of their time in minimum security before the paperwork caught up with them.

Absolutely.  Finding a job is the hardest part.  If the conviction comes up in the interview, and it will most of the time, be honest and frank about it.  If the boss wants to be a total dickface about it, and they will most of the time, then screw 'em.  Usually dickfaces find something to be a dickface about anyway.  That's how dickfaces operate.  Basically, call the conviction a learning experience.  And it doesn't have to be flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Pick a trade... Electronics, auto repair, landscaping... and work your way up like everyone else.

That depends.  You can petition the court for an expungment of the felony.  If that is your only offense, and you have had a productive 15 years, I would say, go for it.  It is basically the same thing as a dismissal.  On job apps they always ask, 'have you ever had a felony conviction...blah blah'.  It is always followed by the clause, 'If you have had an expungment or records sealed.....(something like this) you do not need to list it'.  They also say 'any marijuana conviction beyond two years'  no need to list....      HAH...\nGo figure.....\nIt is worth a shot.\n\nCriminal Justice Class
