My RAP Sheet.

[matefrio]

Had to explain this to HR and a client today. Thought you all would like the information for educational purposes.

I'll let you know if it interferes with the process at all. It really shouldn't but is at the whim of the client.

WHAT the hell? After all you had to go through that is total BS. Where's the part where they didn't know the law and were idiots?

 

[Coop45]

Man, you are one dangerous mofo. No, wait! You are a law abiding citizen, unlawfully arrested by an uninformed jackass. Can't HR read?

DISMISSE is the vague reference.

I was asked "in the interest of time" to summarize what happened to put the client at ease after this was found, before the client was sent the results , but was not "required" to provide a response by HR.

The client doesn't get any personal information, nor will my boss know this is going on. My boss will know if I get denied on the client though, I think and hope it won't come to that.

Even if I'm denied I have billable hours on other clients so my job is not at risk.

Just a general note about HR, know they aren't your friend, they work only for the company. They aren't there to protect you, only the company.

What chaps me about this is the VERY liberal state and worse town my HR works in.....

Rap sheets are public record? I didn't know that...

I have the feeling I've worked in this state and City you're talking about.

This was after an FBI background check including fingerprints.

Actually it was a lawful arrest. I think he is a patriot and unlike many of of us, he put his money where his mouth was. However, he knew the risk.

Yep, my eyes wide open what may have happened. Not really trying to complain here.

I don't agree it was a lawful arrest. But really don't have the energy to debate or argue the issue here. I've not pursued a civil case as I'm moving out of Texas this month for at least a year.

Just more information so you all can make your own decisions. It's possible to get this expunged, would cost some more lawyers fees and depending what happens here I may. I'm just not up to paying the lawyer more now with so little in return.

So, would this get flagged in a NICS background check initiated by an FFL?

 

[hkusp1]

This was dismissed right?


Sent from a creepy ass cracka.

Shouldn't. He's got an arrest record, not a conviction. It won't prevent him owning a gun.

No, I think charges were dropped.

Right... legally, it doesn't prevent him from owning a gun, but I'm wondering if there's any way it might pop up in the process and cause a delay. I don't know how a background check for employment differs from an FFL check, but it's unfortunate that this is even a thing since there was no case and he shouldn't have been brought in to begin with. As long as he has a valid CHL, in Texas anyway, it's not an issue since there's no background check needed.

It was a lawful arrest. Technically your CHL only gives you a defense to prosecution.

BTW you can get it expunged yourself.

 

[Texan2]

Yes, as indicated right on the pic he posted.

And yes, you can get it expunged. Shouldn't be too hard.

Ehhh...didnt see yours before I posted mine.

Your client has got to be a bank on wall street. A lot of what you're describing in this post is all too familiar to me.

A lawful arrest requires probable cause to believe an offense was committed. Prosecutors (especially in Travis County) frequently find that is where the case stalls, fails to rise to the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and the case gets dismissed. If there was not probable cause (and the Trooper did not mislead the municipal court magistrate), then the fine gentleman would have been released, with out charges.

I failed to rise one time...
