if there are no other cases, then NO
Yes, it is a legitimate and legal question.
Read the question on the application carefully, does it ask "have you ever been convicted..." or does it say "have you ever been charged..."? If it says convicted, then you can answer no; if it says charged, answer you and it usually has a place on the application for comment or explanation, use that to say charges dismissed.It doesn't pay to put falsehoods on applications, they can follow you around and get you just when you feel you're finally getting established.ADDED: The important thing to remember is that a dismissal of a charge does not mean that it is automatically removed, or disappears, from your record.
A misdemeanor DUI implies that one has been charged with the crime. Once charged, there is no statute of limitations.
Answer the question as yes on your application and give all of the information regarding the status of the case. You are innocent until proven guilty. At least then, you have answered truthfully, and will not be fired for a falsehood.
If you have not been convicted, you are NOT a felon.
It really depends on what is asked. If the question is, have you ever been arrested or charged with a crime? Then the answer would have to be yes. If the question is, have you ever been convicted of a crime, then the answer is no.
If you were charged and convicted of a Misdemeanor offense, yes. If you were charged and convicted of a Felony, no.
The original answer (which is deceiving) is listed below in brackets. To answer the question, if you want to have any chance of actually getting hired, then lie about any convictions you have and if you get hired and your employer happens to confront you about it, just play dumb and say you thought it was expunged. Being honest about a criminal background will guarantee that you NEVER find a job. *******ORIGINAL ANSWER********* [Always be truthful on an application for employment. It can depend on whether the question asks if you were ever CHARGED with a felony or.... if you were ever CONVICTED of a felony. If you wre never convicted you can answer the qeustion truthfully by saying, no. Keep in mind, that unless your record was expunged these entries WILL show up on your background check.]
Huh? It means exactly what it says. How much clearer coudl it be?
If the investigators can prove you stole it, you can be charged and convicted.
If you have been charged but not convicted, it would depend on the terms of your bond. If you are convicted for domestic violence battery, you are prohibited from carrying a firearm.
There were several trials, but it sounds as if you are looking for the Nuremberg Trials. Please see the related question.
