<p>BunsenBurner,</p>
<p>You’re not raining on my parade.</p>
<p>This list shows that employers can’t ask about what things a person has been arrested for. They can ask about what a person has been convicted for.</p>

<p>For the record, I’m planning on going to flight school after college. The airlines, understandably, have no tolerance for any infractions involving alcohol. In today’s economy, where aviation jobs are scarce, any blemishes on my record could result in me being passed over in favor of someone else who has a clean record. That is why I want to make sure my record is as clean as possible by the time that I graduate. Everyone makes mistakes in life, and I’d hate for one mistake that I made as a teenager to prevent me from achieving my lifelong dream.</p>
<p>Cuse, good luck to you. I hope you will be able to sort all of this out and get the job of your dreams. Do contact a real attorney who can and does practice in your state to help you.</p>
<p>The reason asking about arrests is off limits is because of the whole profiling thing and targeting certain racial groups in arrests. It happens. It can lead to discrimination in hiring.</p>
<p>From my understanding, police stations never destroy records. You may want to ask the specific precinct for the record copy. There is a small fee. Good luck!</p>
