MIP legal advice

kinda what I figured...

anybody who never breaks a single man-made law isn't a man, he's a robot

True, I left out the part that I first drank alcohol (beer) when I was 16 or thereabouts.

It's none of their business what I haven't been convicted of. When I joined the PD, I didn't tell them that I mooned some cops while I was on a school bus during a field trip. There is a lot I didn't tell them, but would have raised red flags for sure. I don't think there's a big deal there.

They can ask questions that invade my privacy all they want. It isn't right of them (as in your situation), but if someone asks and gets an answer they can use against you, it's your own fault.

Technically, if you were wrongfully charged with something and let go, you'd have to tell them about it, right? Why should they be able to use it against you?

I really don't see it as an invasion of privacy when it's public record. If inclined, they could go on the judicial record search for the county I'm in and can find citations and charges for anyone. It's not likely, but for my piece of mind, I'd rather account for it up front as opposed to it coming into question later.

By the same token, I don't pad my dates of hire, salary, or position held on an employment application. It's not likely that someone would go further than getting a verbal reference from HR, but I know the consent to background check would allow someone to request my employment history from the Texas Workforce Commission. Lol I'm also the same girl who will be honest during a traffic stop and tell the officer that I wasn't speeding because of an emergency, but I'm headed to my boyfriend's house to give him head before he leaves for the deer lease. I've found that honesty grants more leniency in life.

That's fine, but your original post and what it came out to was two different things. The Class C won't come back to haunt you, but screwing up and getting busted on a Class C warrant might hinder you from getting some sort of nursing license.

We just had to clear that up.

Hell, my uncle was the ex-sheriff in these parts, so everyone knew my damn name. I wouldn't have gotten away with shit, so I never tried. When my boyfriend got his MIP for the beer can in his truck, I found my happy ass in the back of a sheriff's car, and deposited on my grandparent's doorstep.
I'm probably one of the few who didn't experiment with drugs, or drink and smoke under age.

What's wrong with alcohol? I'm drunk off my fucking ass right now. Fuck you. You fucking fuck suck.

You're an idiot. Come back when you have something intelligent to say/contribute.

There's not much to clear up, other than you arguing for the sake of argument. It's pretty black or white when the yes or no question is, "Have you ever been cited for anything other than a class c moving violation?" I don't see what's so difficult to grasp. If you have, but you say no, it can possibly come back to bite you in the ass.

LOL.. i knew you were gonna get shit for this thread.

You are lucky.. thats all i can say.

Could this possibly be the same Denny that posted the little gem below yesterday in one of the other forums????

Pot, meet kettle LOL

OK, now continue with your bullshit argument...

Come on, JenJen... you made it sound like something else at first.

Once you finish up with that, you can explain to me why I've been so grossly misinformed that I am going through this process for a Class C misdemeanor for a non-moving violation that was dismissed, that had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. Then, you can tell me that a Class C misdemeanor for a non-moving violation has absolutely no effect on your life. Will it keep me from sitting for the NCLEX? No, but it's a pain in the ass that I wouldn't have without it on my record.

I don't see where you were talking about an arrest for a warrant.

You guys did have a bullshit argument that will go on forever. I'm making a clarification on some information about Class C's not being on your criminal history.

I know, just giving you a hard time.....

Dammit

I don't see where you were talking about an arrest for a warrant.

When the conversation started out, I referenced two people in my class, one who had an arrest for suspicion of DWI and one who had a conviction for an MIP. I have never said it prohibited either from getting their license, but came with complications and contingencies. You called bullshit. I backed my statement up with the requirements, and added in my account. Whether it's a charge, citation, conviction, or arrest, it goes before the board.

It's the same principle as the city asking someone if they've ever smoked pot when they take a polygraph to work at the police department. They don't give two shits if you've smoked pot, but they take exception to lying.

[Denny]

Well, to counter your point that a Class C will haunt you forever, you are wrong. That is a very narrow, isolated case where it MIGHT.

I'll concede to having no idea whether it shows up on a background check. You may very well be correct. I do stand by the argument that you can be asked to disclose it on a nursing and allied health board application with the present wording.
