It depends upon the requirements for the job. In some sensitive jobs, it certainly could be a reason not to hire them. Some companies will never hire someone with a criminal record. It does tend to increase insurance rates in some industries.

You could petition the state to expunge your record of the offense - kind of lengthy and a little costly.

Can you ask a cop to follow someone?

Why? For what reason? Are you interested in hiring them to do "private duty" work for you? In some jurisdictions hiring off-duty officers to work for you is allowed - in others, it is not. It all depends on the rules of the agency for which he works, or local law. On the other hand, if you have pertinent information that an individual is engaged in, or about to engage in a criminal act, you can report it to the police and then it is up to THEM as to what course of action they choose to follow, or not.
