When the first time offender act is applied does this go on your record as a felony?

Not necessarily. This fact will be governed by the judge's handling of your case, and also dependent on your successful completion of the first offender sentence. First time offender treatment only applies as to your sentencing and treatment for the crime, and NOT against what you were charged with. If you successfully complete the terms of your first offender requirements the crime MAY be reduced to a misdemeanor, but the record of your arrest will still remain.

What are your chances for straight probation as a first time white collar offender who cooperated?

If there is no prior criminal history, they should be strong, but that will depend on the degree of the crime(s) committed, the degree of cooperation, the law-enforcement agencies, and the District Attorney's office involved. Did the offender go to the authorities first, or did they have to arrest the offender, or call them in for questioning? Did the offender give the orders, or receive them from a superior? These and other factors will come into play.

When some one gets off parole then they steal from a store and he has prior charges for theft could he be charged with prior of a petit theft The cop that came to the door said that?

If the thief has already served his parole and "paid his debt to society" and is now released from the first sentence - then they cannot be charged again with THAT original crime. BUT- they can be charged with the new offense, and the fact that they are a repeat offender may, or may not, be admissable against him in court for the new offense. However, the the judge will have access to their past record when it comes to sentencing the offender for the new crime.
