Hey guys,

wondering if anyone experience something something being reported on their background, maybe something minor like traffic? I was told something was sent to testing off my fingerprints. They didn't knw what but I've tested and now jus waiting on the license. He also said it hasn't stopped anything but it may come back up

Most minor traffic citations such as moving violations (e.g. 'speeding tickets') do not appear on peoples' criminal backgrounds. The major exceptions would be violations such as reckless driving.

Ok. I'm not sure what it is but the only thing I knw I've had on me was speeding on the highway in wi and I was asked to appear in court so there might have been a warrant out but it was over 10 yrs ago. But then again we were fingerprinted in school and nothing was stated then... Idk

I had an expired registration that I got ticketed for and had to appear in court for. When I went to court, there was no record of the ticket, so they gave me a letter and sent me away. My background check for nursing school showed there was a warrant for my arrest for failing to appear. I had no idea.

Sooo ...it's definitely possible that it could show up if you failed to appear in court when you were supposed to.

What did u have to do to clear it up. I'm sure that's what it is. That's the only court appearance I've ever missed its only because it was in wi. I'm in Illinois and it was over 10 yrs ago

In my case, I didn't actually fail to appear- it was a court error. All I had to do was go to court with my proof that I had been there. I'm not sure what I would have had to do if I had actually failed to appear.
