Hey Poolies (and others)!
I am a poolie who has been fingerprinted (this is an anonymous username - don't ask who I am). The FBI background check turns up more info than the criminal background check and in my case shows an arrest from a long time ago. The case was dissmissed after I completed the terms of a deferred sentance. Because the final disposition was "dissmissed" I didn't report it and it didn't show up on the regular criminal background check.
SWA has asked for more info and I cannot find anything that actually shows dissmissed, the court record just stops. My lawyer says that is standard - the paperwork just stops when the case is dissmissed.
Does anyone have any insight to offer here? Am I in trouble? Will SWA understand the case file just stopping and realize that the case was dissmissed even though those exact words do not appear anywhere?
BTW - if law enforcement has ever fingerprinted you get ready to explain why, regardless of the final disposition of the case.
