When you were charged with possession of marijuana you were charged with a misdemeanor now your background check says you have a felony conviction for this offense why?
It IS possible that it is a clerical error. Go to the court in which you were convicted. At the Clerk of Court's office and ask to see your court file. The final disposition of your case (felony or misdemeanor) will appear there. If you find that the background record is incorrect, ask the personnel at that office how to go about getting it corrected.

How long does a sheriff have to turn in a police report in ca It's been a month since the arrest and the District Att. has yet to even receive the report.?
The DA needs to forcefully remind the Sheriff's Office by failing to forward the offense report they are hindering the prosecution and jeapardizing of the defendant's constitutional right to a 'speedy trial.' Perhaps the Sheriff is still investigating the reported offense. Why don't you call the SO and ask?

Recently in tempe AZ swim was involved in a disturbance Swim fled the scene An hour or so later a tempe cop drove to swim's house in phoenix and arrested swim without a warrant is this legal?
Not sure of the crossing of jurisdictional lines by a Tempe officer into Phoenix - I suppose maybe that the Sheriff's Office could be the arresting agency....but if it was a felony offense, yes, the delayed arrest was lawful. However, if the offense was a misdemeanor, no, it would not. It would have to be done via a warrant.

A Misdemeanors Lawyer Can Clear Your Record?
A misdemeanor is a crime that is less serious than a felony crime. Every state has the ability to determine which offenses qualify for a misdemeanor or felony status. A misdemeanors lawyer can effectively represent a defendant charged with a misdemeanor offense. A misdemeanor offense is generally punishable by a fine, community service, or jail time. The jail time can not be more than a year for a misdemeanor offense. A felony is a serious crime that is punishable by at least a year in prison. Each jurisdiction classifies the offenses into the felony or misdemeanor category. Typical misdemeanor offenses include one of the following crimes: prostitution, petty theft, public intoxication, simple assault, drug possession, or vandalism. These are just some of the offenses that are classified as misdemeanors in many states. A misdemeanors attorney can help prevent a person from getting a more severe fine and jail time. Misdemeanors are classified into different categories. There are three basic categories of misdemeanors. The most serious offense is the class A misdemeanor. The class B misdemeanor is the least severe of the misdemeanors.... Additionally, defendants do not usually lose their civil rights with a misdemeanor conviction. There can be the loss of certain privileges including appointment to a public office, professional license, or public employment. Different jurisdictions classify the misdemeanors into different categories. The classification determines what punishment the person will receive. It determines whether there will be a fine or jail time or both. It is a good idea to hire a misdemeanors lawyer; this person can help mitigate the case to minimize the effect it will have on your criminal record. Two people can be arrested for the exact same misdemeanor and receive different punishments depending on their representation. Some misdemeanors can be expunged from your record. For example, a class C misdemeanor is eligible for expungement if the person has completed deferred adjudication or community service. This takes some time. It can take up to six months for the expungement process to be completed. Once the record is sealed or expunged, the person does not have to admit to ever being arrested or convicted of the offense. It is like the offense never happened in the eyes of the law. The only place that a person may have to admit to the offense is in court under oath. Getting an attorney to expunge the record will open up many doors that have been closed to you. This can include employment, professional licenses, and school loans. There are a number of other things that are restricted to a person convicted of a misdemeanor.
