Juvenile Shoplifting Questions
As i explained in my previous post I was caught for shoplifting. I have another question-
Do I have to put the ticket down on job applications? (The application says exclude minor traffic tickets and the ticket I got was on the same form as a traffic ticket and in the letter sent to my parents it said "a copy of the traffic (or municipal) citation your son/daughter recieved"?
And because it was just a municipal ticket (only in the city of Madison) will it show up on a bachground check?
Thanks

Based upon what you have posted, you were charged with a criminal misdemeanor under a municipal ordinance. That's not the same as a traffic offense.

It probably won't show up. Wisconsin statutes, provide, generally,
