Well this question is a little difficult to answer as is. Shoplifting could be a misdemeanor depending on the laws of your state. The amount of merchandise lifted generally determines if the offense will be a misdemeanor or a felony. Hopes this helps.
Criminal records are permanent.
You'll need to apply for a visa in order to travel to Algeria, but a shoplifting record should not be an issue, assuming you're not on probation.
If the offense occurred after you turned 18 it will be a permanent part of your criminal history record.
If caught and convicted, you will get a criminal record. And quite a few employers won't hire people with criminal records.
That depends on what the misdemeanor is, exactly.
If you were charged with and pled (or were found) guilty to shoplifting (thus paying the fine) it will appear on a criminal background record.
If it was after September 2004, then it will last forever as it is classed as a "recordable offence".
Unless it was commited prior to your 18th birthday an adult criminal record stay with you for life, it doesn't "go away" with time.
Unless the offense occurred before your 18th birthday, all criminal charges incurred as an adult will appear on your criminal history record. They do not "go away."
A conviction for shoplifting will remain on the Police National Computer (PNC) until the subject has reached at least 100 years of age. The conviction will show on a basic level criminal record check until it is spent and will show on Standard and Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks until it is eligible for filtering.
In many States in the US,You can petition the court to have a charge of shoplifting expunged from your criminal record after a certain amount of time has passed,this is most done for misdemeanors, Felony charges on a criminal record can be expunged under certain circumstances but are rarely successful.
In the state of Washington, a shoplifting charge can stay on your record between two years and forever. It will all depend on the amount, the degree and which court it went through.
