It depends on the magistrate or judge. If he/she records a conviction for the offence you were originally charged with, you will go on file and there you will stay unless you can bring about an over-turning of the conviction. See a lawyer for that if you feel you were poorly done by. Nowadays a conviction usually means fingerprints and maybe DNA on record.
If you haven't been charged, then there should be nothing on your record. If you are charged, but not convicted, you may be forced to go to the courthouse and pay an "Expungement" fee (usually between $50 and $100) to remove the charge from your record, though this could take up to 3 months.
Yes, if you weren't wanted for SOMETHING you wouldn't have a warrant out on you.
Yes you do.
When you plead guilty in a criminal case it generally results in a permanent record unless part of the judge's decision included the record being removed after a certain period of time with no further criminal activity. You need to check the file to determine the details of the disposition.
What was the misdemeanor? Actually standing before a judge and pleading 'guilty' is not a necessity for a record. If you paid the fine you DID, in effect, plead guilty.
If you have ever been arrested for a crime, you would have to go to court. If you were convicted or plead guilty, you have a criminal record for 7 years.
$120 to plead guilty and have it go on your record. $147 to plead guilty and go to driving school.
Guilty
No. Nothing will be placed on your driving record until you have had "your day in court".
No, a criminal record is not the same thing as a criminal complaint. A complaint is an accusation, which may or may not result in a conviction. Only a conviction of a crime will result in a criminal record. If someone has complained about you, that does not in itself make you guilty of a crime.
In New York, your arrest stays on your record forever. However, if you get a dismissal, A.C.D., acquittal after trial, or plead guilty to a violation, your record may be sealed. Your fingerprints and photos will be kept in the criminal justice computers. Potential employers generally won't have access to your fingerprint record or arrest record if your information is sealed.
I'm afraid so. What you did by paying the fine is to plead guilty, therefore it definitely goes on your record.
Although ordnance violations are TECHNICALLY misdemeanors, they seldom if ever appear on background investigations.
Yes you can but you need to be aware that it has the same legal effect as a guilty plea. If you plead no contest you will have a conviction on your record. It would be the same as if had plead guilty or been convicted after a trial.
I don't think you can appeal after a guilty plea.
