I am completing a background check for a job. I received a speeding ticket in 2012 in Henderson for 82 in a 70. I paid the ticket, and have not received one since.

Is that technically a misdemeanor or a moving violation?
Do I need to report it as a misdemeanor on the background check.

I could not find the official law on the internet.

You will never get a job again because of that speeding ticket.

You do realize that internet legal advice is worth what you pay for it?

And a traffic ticket is differentiated from a criminal misdemeanor for purposes of a background check. Unless it is DWI or Reckless Driving which are considered criminal offenses. But this is generally speaking, backgrounds for things like Top Secret government clearances want you to list traffic tickets because they consider an inordinate amount to be indicative of you being reckless and irresponsible. But one won't frick you.

Can't say for certain. Send me your SS#, license #, and home address and I will check my database for you. As an added level of security I may also need your checking and routing number and mother's maiden name.

You better go back to Coates bathroom and see if David Pollack will give you your old job back.

Can't hurt to show a little bit of candor and report it for good measure.

Neither. That's a felony.

I do specialize in bird law, so I may be off...

going 12mph over is a felony. so you don't have to check the misdemeanor box but you do have to check the felony box. hope this helps

Your speeding ticket won't show up on your background check for your late night back alley hand job position.

I doubt a background check picks up that kind of crap Unless it involves a high level of safety hazardous wastes handling.

Moving violation. No felony. No misdemeanor. Just a traffic violation. You're okay, man. You're okay.

10mph or less over the speed limit by Henderson cops = no ticket.

They only get the revenue for 10mph and over. 80 or over = ticket.
