Yes, it is a criminal offense, and is a permanent record unless you qualify to petition to have it concealed from the public.
It will be a PERMANENT part of your adult record.
A criminal record is always there unless it is expunged.
Forever, if you don't get "charged" again :-)
Unless the offense occurred prior to your 18th birthday your criminal history is a permanent lifetime record.
It MAY be possible - IF you qualify. See below link for further infomration:
if you were under 18 at the time its gone when you do turn 18 but if you were already 18 you can pay(lots of money) to have it removed but if you dont it will always be on your record
Simple battery can consist of anything used to hurt someone regardless of causing physical harm. Ex. Cursing someone out can get you simple battery and disorderly conduct. Making verbal threats to someone, simple battery.
Most felonies will stay on your record indefinitely.
How long violations stay on your record varies from state to state. In Maine, a violation will stay on your driving record for one year.
If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record. HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.
The alternator may not be recharging the battery .
it will stay on your record forever...sorry
