is it against the law?

Question

try to make this short was arrested for a second time of breaking a protection order because my ex let me come over for christmas to visit my daughter we got into an argument she called the police to have me removed from property but instead they arrested me. now i have a D felony and my question is, is it against the law to put on a application for employment that i have never been convicted of a felony because it's hard to find a job when people look at the felony and don't even take a second glance. plus to im on probation so is it a probation revocation too? well theres my two questions

1. is it against the law to say i don't have a felony conviction?
2. is it probation revocation if i fill out employment app's saying i don't have a felony and the probation officer finds out?

Answer 1

Not so much against the law, but your falsifying your application. Most companies do a background check anyway, it will be discovered. Your probation will be revoked if you violate the terms of probation. Be truthful of the conviction, answer all questions regarding your felony. Stay away from your ex.

Answer 2

Most applications also have a place for you to explain your conviction. You can say you don't have any felony convictions, but if a background check is done, they will find them and fire you. Period.
As for probation, check with your probation officer. S/he will know. Believe it or not, the purpose of the probation officer is to help you stay on the straight and narrow, not to try to catch you doing something wrong. If lying was a violation of the law, we'd all be locked up.

Answer 3

Answer to question one. It does not violate any criminal law to lie on a job application. Most employers do some kind of background check anymore. When they find out you either won't get hired for lying, or they will fire you.

Question two. Your PO won't like it, depends on the specific terms in your area if that would constitute a violation. Your PO is going to want to know where you are working and may check in on you there. When he/she does that your employer and your PO will know about the lie on the application won't they?

Answer 4

It would be against the law to do this on a Federal government employment application, but if you are applying to a private company, I think it would only be unethical. People lie on job applications all the time. Although if you are caught, they will terminate you (with cause).

Answer 5

Your probation officer could violate you as it is usually the terms of probation is to stay employed and notify your employer that you are on probation.

Q: what's the ideal weight for a criminal expert? A: Ten pounds - yet featuring the urn. lol the only above is actual super! George and Lenny confirm to circulate North united states of america in a warm air balloon. in spite of the undeniable fact that, neither have been quite experienced balloonists, and Lenny's strategies right now drifted from navigation to strategies of ways clouds look like cuddly little bunny rabbits.

George we could some warm air out of the balloon, which slowly descended below the clouds, yet he nonetheless could no longer tell the place they have been. some distance below, they might see a guy on the floor. George decreased the balloon, to ask the guy their area. while they have been low adequate, George stated as all the way down to the guy, "hi, are you able to let us know the place we are?" the guy on the floor yelled returned, "you're in a balloon, approximately one hundred feet up interior the air."

Answer 7

It isn't against the law (unless you are applying for a government job), but usually employers will run local checks with their local pd's. It is a standard thing for them to do.

I am sorry about all that is going on with you being able to see your daughter. It breaks my heart to hear about that kind of stuff.

Answer 8

No it's not against the law, but if your employer finds out you lied on the application, he has grounds to fire you, and that would probably be upheld in court.

1. no, you just won't get hired if you lie.
2. that discretion would soley lay on your probation officer and the prosecuting attorney's office.

It's not against the law, but it is grounds for termination when they find out - and they WILL find out.
