Ok, I take your point, but are you sure you have never done anything wrong regarding the law?
How about speeding, you never broke the speed limit in your life? Are you 100% truthful on your tax return. Have you every jaywalked, Licenced your car or tv whatever late, taken more change from a cashier without pointing out their error? I could go on and on with examples of where virtually everyone breaks the law even unintentionally.
Now some people, would say they have been booked for trivial things, perhaps you are lucky or very very good - I don't know but you seem awfully black and white and surely a petty crime committed by a young person shouldn't reflect a criminal tendency throughout their entire life? To err is human remember
Seeing as this isn't a known subject to many, it would be wise for all to check up on state statutes for expungement in your state. It could save your kids a LOT of hassle for doing something stupid.
My felony will never go away under current AZ law. Had I been caught a few years later with some pot, it would not only not be a felony, but not even a criminal charge at all.

Could your record have any future effect on international travel?
If it still exists, as in, hasn't been pardoned, I'd look into that.

One thing I've never really understood is that when new laws are passed (generally, but not in all cases), in this case the lowering of the severity of possession, the old criminal records are grandfathered in and treated at the same severity as they were before the new, less severe laws come into effect. It seems like a kick in the face. Hopefully things change over there in AZ. I know it rarely happens but there's still hope.

And if the charges shouldn't be criminal charges in the first place?
too many laws in this country convict on a criminal level when the offense really isn't criminal.
So is it really lying when you say you haven't committed a crime when your conviction shouldn't be a criminal charge in the first place?
private prisons come to mind here and the corruption involved with the elected officials making laws to fill them, and judges sentencing harsher than normal punishments to keep them filled.
In fact there is a thread currently being discussed about that very issue.
Well, I have been dealing with something that happened back in 2006 when I was still a teenager.

But you do obviously, you just admitted you do.
So you are happy you can lie, and use a legal loop hole to see it look like you are telling the truth?
Hey, I have never been arrested and have no criminal history.
I don't even have to add qualifiers, I'm actually being totally honest, because I truly have none.
You see the difference?
Integrity dude.....

Yeah, I got tricked by the old deferred adjudication probation and it will disappear if you complete it trick. The city of Denton is pretty good at stuff like that. Even tried to revoke after nine years and 8/2 months on a 10 year sentence. Over $430 in fees that I still had two months to pay. Then of course I find out it cannot even be expunged so I'm stuck. So I may be able to go the route you did chances of it being granted are slim to none. Congratulations on your fresh start though that's awesome!
As a side, did you see the news about our dear police force,found a backpack at 7-11 on Teasley and took it behind the building and using explosives to detonate it, apparently in the open, because a thong and other panties ended up wedged into the wall of the store?! They think it is a bomb so they blow it up in public?! We should feel safe Buni.. Hahaha!
But you can't lie about being arrested....that will keep you from getting hired when they ck and find you we're
