Well that all depends on Police Department Policy and if (Unlikely) any Laws made to restrict one directly from entering law Enforcement in their state. It is a well known fact in many states in the US many Police Officers have been Convicted of Domestic violence. Under Federal Law this is NOT Legal cause Federal Law doesn't allow anyone convicted of Domestic violence is Restricted own, have in Control, possess any firearms (or firearm parts) and ammunition. So Legally 'can' they in many cases no, but do they become Police Officers , yes. Typically these Police Convicts were convicted solely after not prior to becoming a Police Officer. In the true letter of that Statute. Both a Felon and a Restrictive Person (this case of Domestic Conviction(s) are the same person(s) by definition.
Same Federal Statute that also covers ones with Mental Diseases and/or disorders. They all are thrown into the 'restrictive person" category as well.
That carries a maximum of 10 Years Federally. Each person convicted under Federal Law has their sentence dictated by a point scale. Anything from the type of weapon, to whether or not is was loaded. Seemingly benign things such as if you were convicted and whether or not you went to jail can add or take away points.
Simply enter a 'not guilty' plea is an additional 2 or 3 points! So as you have read- it is a rather complex but yet clear cut answer. So i'll redo the question to fit the appropriate answer. What States Can Legally allow ex-felons to be Police? Answer:NONE
*Note: The same answer applies to those with State Pardons from their criminal past. The Federal Law I mentioned is very direct about one EVER been convicted. I know first hand people in Federal Prison even after passing the Federal & State background check have been convicted under the Federal statutes. When it was later discovered the person(s) had a pardon from their state conviction(s). The Federal District Attorney was quick in getting a Grand Jury Ready and the person(s) were both Indicted and CONVICTED under Federal Statutes.
Ex-convicts (who are still felons) and ex-felons (who have had their felony convictions overturned) can own their own business, yes.
There really isn't a "good" state for felons. Northeastern states tend to be more lenient than southern states, but they also have a higher cost of living.
are there any gov. loans for small businesses for ex-felons”
No
Does school bus driving companies hire ex felons with drug conviction
noone
NO, They will not!!
There are many companies like Hertz and Enterprise that will hire ex felons. American Airlines and Delta also hire ex felons. Marriott, Hilton and Wendy's also hire felons. Be honest and keep trying and you should be able to get a job.
Yes
No, as of 2014 ex-felons in the state of Florida cannot adopt children. Adoption requires extensive background checks and felony records are not acceptable.
What - All.... including new-born babies? Nah, no country does that. As this is categorised under US, I'll just mention that Wikipedia points out that the US is more severe than many countries when it comes to 'felons'..... Quote:... "Felon voting rights is a state issue, so the laws are different from state to state. Some states allow only individuals on probation and ex-felons to vote. Others allow individuals on parole, probation and ex-felons to vote. As of July 2007, only Maine and Vermont allow incarcerated individuals to vote. Fourteen states, eleven of them in the South, ban anyone with a felony conviction from voting for life, even after the person has served the sentence. According to the Sentencing Project 5.3 million Americans are denied the right to vote because of a felony conviction. The number of people disenfranchised amounts to approximately 2.42% of the otherwise-eligible voting population. This is in sharp contrast to European nations, which allow ex-felons to vote after serving sentences and in some cases allow prisoners to vote. Prisoners have been allowed to vote in Canada since 2002." end quote.
Yes.
