Will an FBI backround check for a non fbi job find a ticket from a wildlife and fisheries officer?

The ticket was for possesion of marijuana under 20 grams.Will an FBI backround check for a non fbi job find a ticket from a wildlife and fisheries officer?
a background check will show a conviction for possession of marijuana ( if you plead guity and paid the ticket) or if it went to court and was found guilty.





First and wildlife are POST certified law enforcement officers and thier tickets are normaly at the state level.





If you were ticketed and found not guilty or had case dismissed, it does not show up, if you were found guilty, it shows upWill an FBI backround check for a non fbi job find a ticket from a wildlife and fisheries officer?
it will appear. in most states conservation officers are just policemen in a different uniform
It might....unfortunately all sorts of stuff comes up now, thanks to the Patriot Act and all it's assorted offshoots.





Put it this way, I'd be surprised if it didn't show up. I had something come up from when I was 17 and that, my friend, was 100 years ago.
A FBI background check MAY find your ticket.


A FBI special background check WILL find your ticket.





If you are clean then tell the FBI about it.





Since the offense was a minor one; no jail term, and no required court appearance then the case is a minor one and should be forgiven. The best thing to do is to own up to the FBI and tell them about your ticket. Even Bill Clinton experimented with Marijuana, and he became President. It is normal for people to experiment and to make occasional mistakes. Minor ones can be forgiven.





What the FBI is looking for is a pattern of bad behavior. If you haven't been using pot in a while, and the ticket was a few years ago then this little mistake can be forgiven. They may wish you to submit to a drug test to make sure that you are clean. If that isn't a problem then you should be good to go.





The problem is that the FBI asked you to list any legal difficulties you had on the forms. If you didn't tell them on that form that you got a ticket for pot then you have lied to them and that won't look good.
Yes, it will show up.
They will now. Don't think they aren't monitoring Yahoo Answers, and can't trace your IP address.





Good work.
Yes. No question. Drug possession charges of any kind are the first thing they look for.
One....were you convicted? Two...no matter what the answer is yes. So...be truthful. most places won't whack you for a 20 year old offense. Especially a misdomeanor. however...the old ';Sorry but you were untruthful on your application when you said you were never arrested before (a ticket counts as an arrest...just not custodial) usually is a good ';wash-out'; tool.
How long ago, though?
It sure will.
Maybe but it won't keep you from getting a job. Lying about it will keep you from getting a job if you get caught.
