It could be your worst nightmare...
Your son is away at college and is arrested for public intoxication at a football game. He is cooperative with the police, hires a qualified defense attorney and his case is dismissed. You are relieved because he is a good kid, it was a one-time mistake and it did not affect his record. Or did it?
Once your son was arrested a public record was created. The dismissal of the case appears to wipe the slate clean since there was no time served, no probation, and no fine. However, that is NOT the case at all. When your son graduates from college and begins the job interview process, or applies for graduate school, medical school or law school, each of these applications will require that he submit to a criminal background check. That background check will reveal the arrest record and your son could lose his opportunity to get that job he really wants.
