Unless your record was expunged (for example, because you were prosecuted as a juvenile, completed your juvenile sentence, and your record was expunged by order of the court), a felony will always remain on your permanent record. Any time your criminal history is run, it will show all convictions, including felonies. If the background check includes a criminal history report, the felony will be included because criminal histories are run through law enforcement databases that do not typically restrict by year.
It depends on the laws of the state or government. Some states have no Statute of Limitations on Felonies of any type. Others have limitations on the length of time depending on the specific crime.
NO
Not unless they return to New Jersey to petition the NJ Courts to expunge their record. Your record can only be expunged by the jurisdiction in which you were originally convicted. Your felony conviction follows you for life and the penalties for violating the firearm possession laws are HARSH.
This is a question best addressed to the NJ state board that licenses that profession, but I'm willing to bet that the answer is yes.
See discussion page.
In New Jersey, indictable offenses may only be expunged if you have less than 4 on your record, and only after a 10 year waiting period.
yes if the defendant has a mental ilness history
1st degree
yes
That depends on the seriousness of the crime. For murder there is no limit. For most other crimes it is five years in New Jersey.
Yes there is a limit in New Jersey. For felony assault it would be five years from the action.
Probably not unless you don't pay the fine in NJ.
Yes, that dollar amount would constitute a felony crime.
