Will a Unlawful Possession of Marijuana show on a regular background check?
its a long story how this ended up happening but in the end it got me a 221.05 under the Penal code of New York Law. Unlawful possession of Marijuana.
At one point i thought this was a pay your fine and your off deal but i learned from the family lawyer that it can be found on extensive background checks even though it doesnt creat a record…
my question is how extensive does this background check have to be? are we talkin CIA FBI kind of background check? what about a med/ pharmacy /dental school and certification?? is their a way to get it written off completely some way? im 19 btw
You should have the record expunged.~

» As of September 17, 2007 Records Removal Services is very selective about the cases we will accept in the State of New York. Current laws in New York make the expungement, seal, or pardon of criminal records difficult, and often times, impossible.
Pardon in the State of New York: A pardon relieves an offender from further punishment imposed by reason of a conviction of a criminal offense.
Expungement in the State of New York: Adult felony and misdemeanor convictions cannot be expunged, except where a pardon has been given for innocence.
In all the above cases of persons eligible for expungement, the expungement is to be made as a matter of law. In the case of youths seeking to have records expunged under the inherent authority of the court, a motion to expunge must be made.

The certificate will relieve and remove disabilities and disqualifications that are imposed upon as a result of the conviction. It will restore firearm rights through specific indication.
