    Default Caught Stealing a Year Ago

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina

    A while back I was caught shoplifting in Walmart. My friend dared me to do it and being stupid I agreed. The security stopped me and took me to the back room. (I took gloves, just to fufill the dare) They didn't call my parents, even though I was 16 and lived in another state, nor call the police. They took my drivers license and wrote down my information.

    Is this information placed in a database? The only reason I ask is that I want to be an FBI agent and I'm afraid that it will show up in the background check.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Yes it goes into a database used primarily by retailers for background checks. Having been through a TSC background investigation I can tell you without doubt they WILL find out about it. If it doesn't come up in their background investigation it will come up in your polygraph. Just keep your nose clean and be up front about it on the application. Honesty on the app will get your further than lying/omitting it and fessing up at the poly.
    The good news is you can honestly answer that you have never been charged but you will have to answer in the affirmative to whether you have ever committed a crime. If I recall correctly, they generally don't worry about juvenile offenses unless you were a habitual offender or it was a violent offense.

    You are NOT in the database because at the time you were 16. I think you have to be at least 18 for them to enter you into that database.

    Thank you so much for the reply, do you know of any website that would help me get some knowledge on this?
