1. Question about Atty for BON hearing

   Tiger747 replied to asbrdawi's topic in Criminal

   You cannot possibly go before the B.O.N. without an attorney, and even then it may not help. The little lady who went before me had a solitary D.U.I. 5 years, I think, prior and, trust me, you do not want to know the hoops they were going to make her...

2. My thoughts on 'what should I tell the BON'?

   Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Criminal

   I was charged with a misdemeanor. The case was formally dismissed;however, it is still on my record. Fine print says, "Dismissed". Currently, the judge doesn't like the new law, House Bill 1211, that allows for the sealing of crimes 8 years old an...

3. Domestic violence, a cautionary tale:

   Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Criminal

   In Anderson, IN., any altercation = both parties arrested. It is considered "mutual combativeness". I am not entirely sure what an innocent victim is to do; however, I would think twice about calling the police. This is all revenue-inspired. Une...

4. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

   Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Criminal

   Yes, Samirish, it was of a violent nature; but, it was a "simple battery". It was so preposterous the judge laughed and evidently dismissed it. I never pursued it until I realized the thing is on my formal record, though it says "case dismissed". B...

   You are a very kind person, Pixie. You are very encouraging. I believe you about Indiana. Evidently, they recognize it, as House Bill 1211 passed 45 to 5 in favor. So, I guess they are trying to reform.

6. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

   Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Criminal

   Extremely well put, Karl. "A festering wound." That does sum it up. What makes it so bad is that friends and family will always speak to you in platitudes like "don't give up", when, in fact, that is exactly what you need to do. So you are torn...

7. Another criminal background question :) Violent Felony

   Will not be able to work anywhere that accepts Medicaid/Medicare. Period.

8. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

   Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Criminal

   Calmom, what you say is very true. What many do not understand is that it is actually a blessing in disguise to be denied a license as opposed to being granted a probationary license. A probationary license is worse in that it gives the holder a f...

9. My thoughts on 'what should I tell the BON'?

   Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Criminal

   The changes that have happened in this country just since the early new millenium would boggle the mind. Used to be no one even asked about misdemeanors; today, they are as awful as a felony. If you have ever been arrested, you are essentially a c...

10. success although bittersweet

    Tiger747 replied to jaznia15's topic in Criminal

    Hi Pixie, Well, the judge refused to seal my record simply because he doesn't like the statute. So now even my civil liberties are being violated (the law says "the judge shall"). Of course, we are appealing. The complaint, evidently, among the l...

11. How is this fair?

    Tiger747 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Criminal

    I am pretty sure if the Almighty was going to answer a prayer, it would be that of the 70% of the American economy(working poor, working class, and middle class)-- the consumer-- who no longer has any home equity, no credit, and stagnant wages (if an...

12. How is this fair?

    Tiger747 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Criminal

    It is Planet Earth, 2011, the United States of America. 60 Million people are praying for a job-- any job-- with no hope in sight. Prayers are not being answered because Jesus said,"Render unto Caesar's what is Caesar's". Everyone has free will, acco...

    Hello, Pixie, you wrote,"Oh dear, I just saw what state you are in, the most difficult state in the union. YOUR state wouldn't even recognise my nursing college. Can you apply to the surrounding states and then later, apply for recipriosity? I know t...

14. please help

    Tiger747 replied to Denis A's topic in Criminal

    The problem is the "felony" charge. If it is inside of 5 years, especially, you are looking at an uphill battle from pillar to post, my friend. Read all the threads on this forum regarding licensure with a criminal past and you will see what you a...

    Tiger747 replied to Tiger747's topic in Criminal

    Hi Cinbar, Your story leaves me speechless. You understand, then, that it is impossible to relate these tales to most people because 99% of the population would not believe it. LOL People just look at me with a blank expression when I tell them I am ...
