What is the name of your state? New York
So I broke up with my girlfriend recently, and I tried to get my belongings back from her but she refused. So I kept calling and calling (maybe like 10 days in two days) trying to annoy her so that she would return my belongings. Then she filed a temporary restraining order against me as well as harassment. She went to the cops, acted like I was going to kill her, and got the cops really biased against me thinking that I was probably a women beater. I was then arrested and I did admit that I called her many times (which was true) but I didn't make any threats or anything close to it. Now, I will have to appear in court, and since there really isn't a case against me, it will be dismissed for sure. However, I know that on my record, it will still show that I have been arrested but not convicted. Is this really bad when I apply for a job? I know that there is a way to get it removed if I get an attorney, but I am not doing well finanically so if it won't matter, I would bother to deal with it. I am graduating from college in a year, so this is really important to me and please help.
