"Have you ever been arrested?" (1 Viewer)

All I see in here is a bunch of criminals whose post histories indicate that rehabilitation doesn’t work.

While dropping leaves off at the township when I was in college, I spotted a big bin of beat up road signs. I asked the worker there what they were and he said they were old signs that they were scrapping. So I asked if I could have one and he told me that nobody would notice of one disappeared when he turned the other way

Even though I got it innocently, apparently it's still illegal. Surprisingly, the only issue I ever had was my college giving me a hard time about it being in our dorm room. @Black Box

You sound like the worst kind of criminal.  As in you would make an awful  criminal.

No question.

A while back, I applied for a job that was government and needed a clearance level.  I went through everything only to turn the job down and take a different job.  But it got me thinking about certain questions asked on job background scans.

"Have you ever been arrested?"

What exactly does this mean?  I ask, because I was once arrested and taken to jail then released.  When I went to court for my hearing, I made a compelling argument and they dropped all charges and I was cleared of any wrongdoing.  So my record is clean.  But technically, I was arrested.  What's the correct answer to this question?

It seems pretty obvious the correct answer for you is “yes”. It’s illegal in some states to ask about arrests in a job interview, legal in many, in a grey area in several. Some states have exceptions depending on the nature of the job. Most people consider convictions more relevant than arrests in an employment decision, but I think there’s some grey area there as well.

Fun fact:  The cops don't have to "Mirandize" you when they arrest you.  They're only required to read you your rights if you are going to be questioned.  ≈≈≈≈≈★

Technically, I don’t think they have to read Miranda rights even when questioning, but might have difficulty using your statements in a criminal proceeding if they haven’t done it.

We also got bagged for signs in our dorm room, though my roommate had been handy with the socket wrench and we deserved every bit of crap we got for it. We were a little bit stupid at twenty years old (I still am).
