The plea deal or original charge

You know maybe don't take my advice because I'm Canadian

But I would put what you plead guilty too....not the original charge

Technically you can be charged and have it withdrawn and it will still say what you were charged with....does that mean you have criminal record? No

So why would you put down the charge you never pled guilty too

 

They are looking for what you PLED guilty for....should apply any country


You could be charged and judge throws it out ..it will say you were charged....doesn't mean u have a criminal record that's what I'm getting at

Original poster did the right thing. If they know already it should make process easier

Can't accuse someone of what they were charged with and didn't plead guilty too

Its whatever they pled guilty too that is the crime

 

Only time I think this would change is if your a sex offender trying to work with kids or elderly.....then u having no chance because it is a extensive search. That will not only show charges, but any contact with police

Sounds about right

Friend has something called a discharge for uttering death threats 3x

It is not.a.criminal record.....dissapears off his record in 1 year

In your case you pled guilty to disorderly conduct....have no clue what it is....but that's your conviction....not the original charge

You could of got charged with mischief for all I know....you plead guilty to disorderly conduct...

That's what u put

 

Advice of my Canadian friend a lawyer of upper Canada society of law

 

Ian says they always do that

The deal is to get you on something so they don't have to go to trial or bring witnesses

Ur charge is disorderly conduct....that's all

 

He also said stay out of trouble. American laws are dirty and more strict

 

I was charged with something once. I plead guilty and they offered a deferred judgement because it was a first offense.
That meant that if I completed the conditions the charges would be dismissed.

It never showed up on my background check.


The applications ask what you have been "convicted" of, not what you have been charged with.
Never lose sight of that distinction.
