I live in Utah and on new years eve of 2011 going into 2012 . I was giving a ride to a relative and was pulled over due to my plates being expired. Later I found out that they had a open container in the car that I was unaware. The cop still had to give me a ticket since it was my vehicle. I called to pay the ticket a week later and the courthouse said since I had no prior tickets or violations that it would not show on my record. Recently I applied for a job and found out it was on my record and I got denied employment due to the fact I didn't match my answer to my background check. I was 19 at the time of the incident. Can this effect me from getting a job if I do list it on an application? Would trying to get it expunged be a possible choice?
