To all of you with misdemeanors on your records, check your state laws to see if employers can even LEGALLY find out of you have a misdemeanor. From what I've been told by people that are involved in the judicial system, LEGALLY, an employer can not find out if you have a misdemeanor on your record, but they can find out if you have a felony.
haha Reviewed by haha on . Life after a MJ misdemeanor... I got caught with weed in October (less than a gram) and got a misdemeanor for possession. The fine ended up being $659. Since I had been laid off, I could not afford it. And I had cancer at the time (thankfully in remission now...whew!), but hadn't gotten my med card yet, though it was in the works at the time. The sherriff didn't believe me. But, I have papers to prove it...whatever. He searched my car and even went on my laptop. I was a high level consultant at the time. Rating: 5
