If you are convicted of a felony, you will not be eligible to hold many jobs, vote, serve on a jury, or hold elective office.

If you have many serious traffic violations, you could have difficulty getting any job that requires driving on the job, including sales, delivery, truck driving, etc...

If you are convicted of any kind of sexual crime, especially with minors, you may have to report where you live and work, and could be reported on websites and lists of predators in your neighborhood.

You will also have to deal with the guilt and stigma associated with a criminal record, even if many people do not know about it. I would agree it's a burden to living a complete life. Check with your state law to see if you can get it in expunged. Expungement in Texas or sealing your record is very possible if you had a deferred probation or was arrested in not convicted.

Any service similar to Record Zapper will help you get the record sealed if you are eligible according to state law.

Can a past conviction of battery in the state of Florida effect a conviction in the state of New York even if you were granted clemency and it was over 2 years ago?

Yes. Your past record is still your record. If the New York judge is unsure about what to do with you, he will check your file, your record. If you have a previous conviction for the same offense, he will react more harshly to you. Instead of giving you probation, he might recommend jail time, for example. Your record is attached to you, not the state, and stays with you forever. Expect your record to have an effect on all your future convictions.

How long does a conviction stay on your driving record?

Depends on the type of conviction it is and where you are from. Most places the conviction stays on your driving record for 2-3 years after this time you will get your demerit points rewarded back to you. Many jurisdictions have programs in place where you get demerits back as time goes along. For example, if you had 3 demerit points deducted you may get 1 back each year the conviction is still standing on your record. Many jurisdictions also allow insurance companies to keep record of your driving habits for the past 4 years. So where in the eyes of the law after 3 years you may have a clean driving record, according to your insurance you still have a conviction. Convictions on your "insurance driving record" affect the costs and eligibility of coverage.
