What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
About a month ago my fall semester ended and a friend and I decided to smoke marijuana in his car. It was his car so he was driving and decided to park in an area that we found out later to be private property. The biggest mistake of my life was agreeing to this and I don't think I will ever forgive myself. We were both charged with unlawful possesion of marijuana and pled guilty. The result was a $100 fine.
I attend a University and will be graduating with an Environmental Engineering degree within 2 years (May 2017). I am extremely worried that all my hard work in school will go to waste because of this being on my criminal record for employers to see during a background check and not being able to get a job. Do violations appear on background checks or effect my financial aid? Is there a way to have my record cleaned of this only offense that I have?
Any answers, information or additional questions you may have would greatly be appreciated. Thank you
