My question involves criminal law for the state of: California, specifically San Jose.
A while ago (maybe 2 years) I received an open-container in public citation in San Jose. I had a drink while walking around in places I shouldn't have. My question is, what category does this fall under? It's definitely not a traffic violation right?
I ask because I am applying for a state gov't job and they ask for all traffic citations to be listed as well as any arrests. I'm definitely, and obviously, not looking to lie on anything but if it's not a traffic citation I don't want to needlessly list it.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Edit: Is there any way I can find out my complete record/list of citations? I've never been arrested but I've received that open container citation and a cell-phone use while driving citation, but I don't know where the original tickets went. Is there a way I can recover the citation #s, dates of citation, etc?
