If the debt to society is paid… Then that shouldn’t be held against someone. Maybe a protected class against discrimination?
Even misdemeanors can be hard. I know I’ve been turned down for jobs based on my two arrests for disorderly conduct years ago. They’re not felonies, but they show up in a background check.
Crazy as that’s literally a catch all charge which is about as light weight as they get. Thankfully charges like that drop off your record after 7 years, I’m pretty sure.
I’ll check, but I’m pretty sure they’re still there. I think you can get a lawyer to have it expunged, but I don’t think it just drops off on its own.
Edit: Nevermind, it costs like $30 just to check this, and I already have a job I like so forget it lol
“Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”
“Did you know that wage theft is a felony? Let’s stop measuring lawbreaking dicks and get me on your payroll.”
I don’t know man, if you have a record of stealing shit or killing people, I don’t want to hire you.
