First off don't bother lieing, if you work in any type of driving job that pays, they will run your criminal history and driving record. \n\nIf you falisfy the application that is normally grounds for termination. \n\nBe honest, and explain yourself in the interview process. Make sure you let them know you have references, and tell your references they will be calling. \n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/If_you_have_a_felony_in_one_state_do_you_have_to_put_it_on_a_job_application_in_another\n\nCheck out this article \nhttp://www.dcejc.org/app/docs/crim-rec-wash-post%5B1%5D.pdf\n\nOther factors such as getting bonded, or insured my impact the companies decision to hire.

they will likely give you community service and probation, i used to work at the YMCA and most everybody that came in there was for a consumption ticket, they give them 100 hours of community service and probation. Or if there was no test that they gave you, i think that you might be able to fight that and drop it.

Depends on the job background check.\nUsually they go back 7 years.\nso don't worry.\nKeep your nose clean.

you dont, unless you can bargain real well with a lawyer, other than that i suggest stop drinking, or stop driving after you've been drinking...as far as i know a 3rd offense is a felony and felonies are punishable with a minimum of 1 year in prison

Be upfront about any felonies and eventually someone will give you a break.  Stay out of the job area related to your felony. For example don't apply at a car dealership is you stold cars, etc. Good Luck!

that would be? 10 years ago is not counted with this new offense unless you were extreme DUI or injured someone. That is a pretty high reading. You go to jail in most states at .08. thank the cop for giving you a break and citing and releasing you. the other drunks may have puked on you.

Sounds like you've got to find out.  Stop impaired driving.

plead guilty and go to traffic school\n\nUnless you have a provable, legit reason for driving fast (having diarriah, being in labor)\n\nFirst offense, if you know someone like a judge or county/state atty you can probably get out of it.

After reading your question I have come to the conclusion that you don't want to stop drinking. #1. You don't want to travel for assistance. #2. You don't want to go to AA. These are excuses. You are not going to respect anyone's opinion. Let me tell you that you are a goner. I know that I am sounding pretty rough. Well, the reason is that I have been there. Thirty years of feeling sorry for myself. I tried AA and listened intently to every other person's problems. The one thing that I really picked up on was that only I could make myself stop with the wine. It made sense to me. The morning arrived that I awakened and was about to have a belt of port to get myself going], when I realized that I didn't want anymore. I am proud today because I did it myself. It has been thirty years since that awakening. My self esteem and confidence returned to the point that I was able to have myself elevated through the ensuing years to the position of Ballalion Chief in the fire service. Take both of your hands and grab your ass and get it done. God bless you for sharing your problem, it's a start.

You will have to get the charges expunged to be free of this in the future also. This is a part of the computer age, with credit checks and criminal background checks. People discriminate legally all over the United States with this process. One with a felony drunk driving may have a 10% chance of being employed for getting drunk. I personally don't believe in drunk driving, but some of the States are punishing people into poverty. This also another way to control, and remove Americans from the voting process. Your going to have to live with your own choices I am afraid, and remember there really is no forgiving and forgetting after a conviction nowadays.

Good for You!!  Have your probation officer write a report to the Court recommending  your early release from probation.  If you are working, and have a steady work history, have your boss write a letter also.  If you are going to school, trade, college, high school, etc., submit any reports you have showing attendance and grades.   Letters from your teachers should help.   If you are renting an appartment in your name, show receipts that show you pay on time.  If you have done community service volunteer work, get the supervisor to write a letter.   Whatever you have done that is positive, bring it with you to the Judge.   Go to the Clerk of the Court and ask for a hearing to be set, or ask your probation officer to get it set for you.   Then bring copies of everything you have ALREADY SUBMITTED to the Court with you (Reason being, the judge likes to be able to review  your case before he sees you.)  Best wishes.   If he says "not Yet"   thats o.k just go back and do more service work for free or whatever the probation officer thinks the Judge wants. Oh, by the way  if it was alcohol or drug related, be sure you have completed any counseling program that was recommended.

I'm assuming that since you have the certificate it was an arrest and conviction and not just an arrest. If the incident was 21 years ago and you've had a clean record since then, then you probably won't have much of a problem. The biggest hurdle you'll have to face is if your arrest was for drugs. People with drug convictions in their background will be automatically disqualified from some jobs, especially if you're applying for a position where you'd have access to controlled substances. The best advice that I can give you is to be 100% honest when applying for the job. Lying about your past will get you in more trouble than telling the truth.

probably no jail time, but probation with breathalyzers every single morning at 6 am and work program every Saturday. Stay out of trouble and don't drink or do drugs on probation (shouldn't do drugs anyway, but especially not on probation lol)or it can last for years.

No. Return to the court that assigned you to the Diversion classes. Let a clerk there know your situation and that you need advice.  By plugging back into the system as soon as possible, your situation will be easily resolved.  That's a better way to conduct your life.  I tend to avoid fixing problems until they GROW into huge problems. You'll sleep better, too.  Good luck to you.

No drugs No drinking No weapons No other Felons No Other crimes (some exceptions apply to traffic violations -- but no DUI or other serious traffic convictions) No yelling at your PO (LOL) and Random drug testing. Good Luck

First off, thanks for staying drug-free and passing the test!\n\nNow, please ignore the foolish advice to drink 3 quarts of water -- it's possible to get water poisoning by drinking too much water and it can be FATAL!\n\nYour problem is not unusual at all, actually.  Many people have problems doing this in the presence of another person, especially a stranger.  However, for legal reasons (that actually protect YOU if you're drug-free!) a monitor is required to view the flow of urine from the urethra into the cup and to certify such under penalty of perjury.  In some non-justice related testing, such as pre-employment screening, alternative methods are used to verify that the sample is legitimate such as taking the temperature of the sample immediately after collection.  Unfortunately, this won't work in your case.\n\nYou might ask if a blood test could be used in lieu of the urine test.  Not all jurisdictions allow this and those that do may require you to pay the increased cost for blood testing but it's worth asking the question.\n\nFailing that, you're going to have to work through this on your own.  Try to psyche yourself up prior to the test.  Remind yourself that you ARE drug-free and this test is going to PROVE it to the world.  Picture yourself having successfully completed your probation or parole and NEVER having to do this again.  Anything that will ease the mental block for you.\n\nOnce you get a couple of clean tests, the folks there will come to accept the fact that you have problems doing this and may ease off the pressure a bit.  Actually, they deal with this on a daily basis but there's no way to separate the scammers from the folks with difficulty in providing a witnessed sample until they become accustomed to dealing with you.  In the best case scenario, they might use the same witness each time to help make it a bit easier on your though local policy may prohibit this.\n\nIt does help to have a bit extra to drink prior to reporting to the testing facility.  An extra cup of coffee or can of soda or two will usually suffice.  Don't overdo it though as excessive intake can be dangerous as I mentioned earlier.  It's also possible that the test could come back as "diluted" which would require you to retake the test.  This is a common ploy for drug users to try to cheat the test but it never works and if you're truly drug-free you don't want them to think that you're trying to get one over on them.

It wiil show up.Just look for jobs that only ask if you have been convicted in the last 5 or 7 years.That way you can say no.Also,you can just put down that you'll discuss it in the interview,then ask for one.I had the same problem,but it can be worked around.Besides,I wouldn't want to work anywhere the wouldn't excuse past mistakes.What is important is what you are doing now,and how the experience can be used to benefit others.It doesn't have to be a negetive.Look for jobs that your experience can be used to your advantage.I became an Addictions Counselor.Now I make $70 per hour,per person,and I don't do  groups smaller than 20 people.That's $1400 an hour,three times a week,and insurance pays it.Not bad for a convicted felon,huh?So use this to your advantage,it can be done.Don't give up,and good luck to you.
