What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
A few years ago, I was convicted of 2 Unlawful Possession of Marijuana charges(stupid, I know). In NY, they are not considered crimes, but violations, legally equivalent to traffic tickets. My question is, if they are not criminal charges, am I legally obligated to list them on applications to future employers. I am currently trying to get a job with a shipping company as a driver, and they only accept applicants who have not received a drug charge in the last seven years. Is a UPM considered a criminal charge, even though it is technically a violation in NY? Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
