petty misdemeanors
I got pot posession ticket just shy of 10 years ago that resulted in a small fine to be mailed in. I was not arrested. I am now applying for a position in the FAA and have to answer if I have been convicted in the past 10 years but to omit it if: ''...the record was expunged under Federal or state law.'' I was under the impression that petty misdemeanors were expunged from official records after a period of five years with no further offenses, which is the case. Do I answer yes to be honest as possible, or can I answer no? I don't know if a record of this even exists any longer, if it does I have to be honest and tell them everything. If not I need to be sure it has disappeared.
Re: petty misdemeanors
In Minnesota, a petty misdemeanor is not a crime and does not result in a conviction. However, petty misdemeanors are not expunged as a matter of course, so it would still be on your record, similar to a speeding ticket. As far as how you should answer, I would need to see the question and be retained by you before I could give you legal advice on how to answer. Hope this information helps.
