Will a non-conviction appear on my live scan
Anonymous4 views4 answers
I was taken to a "drunk tank" and released after 6 hours--there were no convictions, notices to appear, etc, but the arresting agency finger printed me. Will this show on a DOJ report?
Generally not. If you were taken to the drunk tank and later released without facing any charges, then the arresting/detaining police department should have given you a letter declaring your arrest to be a detention only.
It should not show up on a background check.
Have you considered running a background check on yourself?
It very likely will. Best thing to do now is to request your own livescan report and/or contact the California Dept of Justice and request your criminal history report.
I agree with Mr. Finnecy. It will likely show as an arrest. A petition for factual innocence would be your remedy for this, but it is unclear whether this is available to you. Speak with an attorney.
