Ask a Lawyerwhat's this?
Question
Country: United States of AmericaState: All States/Provinces
I am filling out employment papers for a job I was recently hired for and it asks if I have ever been charged for any federal, state, county, or municipal laws. I was arrested once for violating a own ordinance of Open container in a public place. Is this something that I need to reveal for this question?
Answer
If there is a criminal record yes; you may call the DA or court involved to see if it was put or kept on the record (if you do not know)-These questions and answers are provided by WORLDLawDirect.com. ©2000 - 2007 by WORLDLawDirect.com, Inc.
