What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I am up to go to court in Oct. for a petit larceny at a retail store. I am so nervous and scared, I do not know what will happen or what the result of my record will be. This is the very first offense I have ever had (and never will I do something so stupid every again).
I am looking for a better paying job but a lot of these jobs require a background check. So when an employer or State pulls your name or fingerprints for a background check, what information do they see? Do they just see a petit larceny? Will it show the dollar amount or just that it was a petit larceny? And if the charge gets dropped to a lesser charge (disorderly conduct), will the petit larceny still show in there somewhere from the arrest?
I'm still confused on an arrest...I thought with an arrest you always get rights spoken to you (you have the right to remain sielent, ect.), but that wasn't said to me. I was just taken (in handcuffs) to a police station, fingerprinted, photo taken, and given an apperance ticket. I assume it was an arrest with the fingerprints and photo but I guess I just thought the rights were supposed to be said for an offical arrest.
I would just like to know what shows up on a background check if anyone could tell me.
