I got a ticket for skateboarding across a street when I was 16 in 2003, I had to go to court, they gave me 25 hours of comm. service, and I thought it was dismissed or whatever but...
I went to apply to move into some apartments today, and they ran my backgrounf/criminal check, and they told me I had a mistademenor from the City of Glendale (where it happened) and she was wondering what it was about, I told them it was just Jaywalking, and it was no big deal..
Should I be worried about that being on my record? Is it supposed to be there? I thought if I was a minor stuff like that would not show up?
I have to say this is kinda ebmarassing being 20 and asking this, but I really have no idea!!

Is that Glendale California? I ask because I live in California and I know a kid who got a jay-walking ticket so he'd be interested to know if it actually goes on his record. Yikes!

This should not be coming up as a juvenile record should not be accessible. If you can possibly afford it, go see an attorney and see if he can get it corrected.
I can't believe tickets requiring court appearances are issued for such petty things as jaywalking. Then they complain because the courts are always tied up. Idiocy!!!

omg!!! your apartments do criminal background checks!!? 25 hours of community service for riding a skate board across the street? !!! wow were do you live so that i can steer clear of this place. as far as i knew minor infractions of that nature wouldnt come up once you were grown. Id check with the court but honestly i don thtink it should be coming up. good luck!

hi, your criminal record is sealed at 18. this is a traffic code violation, suffer, it ain't going away. so that's how you explain it, no big deal, it's really just an overblown infraction. you musta pissed somebody off. this should have been no more than $50 max.

Contact the clerk of the court that you had your hearing in, and ask why this is coming up, as it was a juvenile misdemeanor.
