convicted felon rights?

It boils down to this: They have to accept your application by law. Whether they hire you or not is entirely up to them. Some states have weird bartender laws but I see no reason for a felony to hold ya up there. I'm a convicted felon,been to prison twice and have never had a problem gaining employment.Honesty is the best policy.You'll be respected for it! And if they don't hire you don't give up,ya didn't wanna work there anyhow. :)

I assume your question is ...\n\nYou were wrongly accused, found guilty, and served your full sentence for killing someone.\n\nUpon your release, you saw this person, then killed him. Could you be charged again?\n\nAnswer.  No. You already served time for that offense. However, the law can play tricks on you, and they would most likely charge you for a different crime, such as crossing county lines to commit a felony.  \n\nThey will find something, and your sentence will probably be longer or worse because you're already a convicted felon.\n\nWhether I'm right or wrong ... I love your question! Best I've seen here so far!  Keep it up!

A person does not lose their right to privacy once they have served their time.  However certain states may require that if you are convicted of a sexual crime against another person that you register with the municipal government in which you live.  This can affect your privacy however it does not.  \n\nFrom the website "Online Lawyer Source"\n\n"A felony conviction is the legal guilty verdict reached in a felony criminal case. A felony is considered a serious criminal act or omission which is more severe than a misdemeanor crime. Historically, a felony conviction resulted in a forfeiture of property, dismemberment or death. A state or federal felony conviction today can lead to jail time, probation, fines, restitution, community service, mandatory drug or other rehabilitative treatment, and forfeiture of various legal rights (including the right to vote, serve on a jury, hold government positions, bear arms, and serve in the Armed Forces). \n\nThere are numerous types of criminal offenses that can be penalized through a felony conviction. The most commonly committed felonious acts include drug offenses, property offenses and financial crimes (white collar felonies), violent offences such as rape, murder, and assault with a weapon, and non-violent offenses...."\n\nHowever one has to argue whether or not the right to privacy is guaranteed regardless of a felony conviction.  I don't believe that the right to privacy is a constituional right, that is explicitly spelled out.  I believe it is an inferred right that has been granted based on the existence of other rights.  I'm not a lawyer, but to answer the question of whether or not you lose your "right to privacy" after a felony conviction my answer is no.

Everything said before is right.  But consider\n(1) Are these people in county jail (typically for sentences for less than a year), in state prison (typically for sentences in state court for more than a year) or federal prison (typically for sentences in FEDERAL court for offenses).\n(2) If you do not know, start with the federal locator that someone has linked to above( because it's nationwide) and if you have no luck, then try your state system.

Very funny. No, a CEO has no more leeway than any other convicted felon. However, he may have a higher priced (and therefore greater resourced) lawyer who can conceivably negotiate within the system for better terms, earlier parole, etc.

It is federal law that a convicted felon can not own or have in thier custody a gun. ( being on probation does not matter about it) ** although it would have also been a probatoin violation also)\n\nBut they will go to court, he will need an attorney,  he will have to prove that he did not have a gun in his possession.  Not in the house where he was living, not in a car he was riding in and so on.\n\nIf he was in possession of it, he is guilty. So perhaps working out a deal is really guilty

Sometimes it depends on the felony that you were convicted on.  But for the communications field I believe you are fine.  You might also consider filing a motion with the court to have the felony sealed/removed from your record.  If you have been law abiding since the conviction, consider this option.

How can you be an ex-felon.  Either you are or you never were.  No, you can't. It is usually a bonded position in most states. You, having been convicted, have forfeited a certain number of your rights for life.  I don't even think an expungement clears it up either.

Once a felon always a felon! Unless you get a pardon or something over ruled!

i believe that if a felon has kept a clean and regular life than they should be given back their rights back. i only beleive this because people do make mistakes and i believe that everyone deserves that 2nd chance.

In some states, ex-felons' voting rights are automatically restored, in some restoration of rights is a fairly simple process. However, in a few states (Florida, of example) it is a difficult and cumbersome process to even apply for restoration of franchise (right to vote).\n\nIt's a wide held opinion that, since the prison population is largely drawn from low income and minority people, who tend to vote Democratic and/or liberal, that Republicans/conservatives, favor placing obstacles in the path of such people casting ballots.\n\nHere is link to ACLU information on this issue:\nhttp://www.aclu.org/votingrights/exoffenders/index.html

Go to your state local police station, they can do a search and give you enough information under the Information Freedom Act to let you know something about the person. Plus what folks don't seem to realize is that once you're a criminal you've pretty much lost all or most of your rights. In other words you're fair game.

Absolutely can a conviction be achieved without the victim present.  If he has a prior record there is a very slim chance he will be aquited, hire a good lawyer.  This might sound disheartening but keep hope.  I would start making plans to make life for my son better while behind bars for a while.  Write letters ALOT nothing is better than remembering there is a whole beautiful world outside of those walls.  Anything will do. Mail food, jokes, and news about the family.  Good luck and God Bless.

I may be wrong, but I think they only care about felonies.\n\nThe_silverfoxx - last I checked, MISDEMENOR assult was not a felony.  Besides which I hardly hold him resonsible for having faught with his father after telling him he was gay!  And "sicking' is not a word.

You would probably have to get in touch with the county where the person was tried and ask if they have a data base, though, knowing that the criminals have more rights than we do, they probably protect that info. Good luck.

The restraints placed on a convicted felon are called "Felon Disenfranchisement Laws" and they vary from state to state.  \n\nYou can check with the US passport office, but unless things have changed since 9/11 there was not any restriction on felons getting a passport or leaving the US, BUT the country you want to go to might have restrictions on you ENTERING their country if you are a Felon.  \n\nYou should have received documents from the court and from the Prison outlining what you can and cannot do.  Such as carry a weapon, consort with other felons or vote.  \n\nYou should contact your state's Board of Pardons and Paroles for more information.
