Question Posted Wednesday August 13 2008, 12:45 pm
1) Do they go on your record?
2) Do they clear up when you're 18? Can you get them cleared?
3) What is likely to happen in court/likely reprocussions?
4) Will a first citation affect the college application process?
5) Should one get a lawyer?
6) What are the best and worst possible outcomes of a first UAD citation?
If it's not deferred you may be able to get your record sealed when you're 18. My knowledge is a little shady about record sealing.
Just act polite and very sorry for your actions in court and he will likely give you the minimum sentence.
These can all change depending on the state you live in. Try doing some research on your particular state (google) so you know the possible outcomes.
Don't fret too much, it is only a first citation which a lot of people do have, unfortunately. Just try to be smarter next time, and I hope this helped you out a bit. [ Xyla's advice column | Ask Xyla A Question ]

May be expunged from a court record, but if a future employer wants to find out about you, it will always be available and they will find out anyway.
Might not want to be a MIP again. Huge deal? No, but it's something on your record nonetheless, and you're going to be competing with other people who have totally clean records in the job world someday.
