I received a first offender pardon in Louisiana, so,a pardon erases the record?
Hope so

[smoothy]

It commutes the conviction... likely not the entire record. How else would they ever know if someone was a second time offender?

[rhonkelly03]

So, will it show up on a background check for a job?

rhonkelly03 does not find this helpful : it was helpful in a way, but wanted to know if it will still show up on a background check for a job. thanks

There are rules about when you can use a not helpful... particularly if you don't actually ask what you want to know... we can't read minds.

Using the Comments Feature - Official Guidelines
The Comments feature has undergone changes under the new "skin" (This site has different Interfaces, called skins, which changes the way members see the site and some features are different). So I'm revising theses guidelines accordingly (10/10/10). I propose the following guidelines for using the Comments feature.

First, comments and ratings have been separated in the new skin. Ratings are governed by Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down icons next to an "is this helpful" question, marked Yes and No in the new skin. Older skins will see a Comments on this Post box with Agree/Disagree radio buttons. Most of what follows applies primarily to those.

Positive comments should be given under the following circumstances:
1) From the asker as a thank you
2) From other members to ratify the factual correctness of an answer
3) From other members to agree with the opinions expressed

Negative comments should be given under the following circumstances:
1) From another member when an answer is FACTUALLY wrong
2) From the asker if the advice turned out to be incorrect

Negative comments should NOT be given when:
1) there is a difference of opinion not of fact
2) when a response has been added to the thread disagreeing with the opinion
3) when a responder asks for clarification or more information (note: often questions do not contain enough info to answer so clarification is asked for--Answers should not be rated until the course of the assistance is complete)

These are the guidelines I follow when I use the comments feature. Opinions anyone?

The new skin also has the ability to simply add a comment to a post without a rating. These comments should NOT be used to provide or ask for followup information. This is because a) the space provided for comments is limited and b) the comments are not time stamped. The original poster (OP) should use the comments for thanks yous or the like. Other posters should use the comments for a quick comment on the quality of the advice. Otherwise the Answer options should be used to provide additional information or ask a followup question.

Note: The operators of this site have agreed with and approved the guidelines so they are now official.

SORRY, I DID NOT ACCUSE ANYONE OF ANYTHING !!! MAYBE I DID NOT WORD THE QUESTION RIGHT, I APOLOGIZE.
THE QUESTION IS ,I RECEIVED A FIRST OFFENDER PARDON IN LOUISIANA, WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WILL STILL SHOW UP ON A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR A JOB.

THANK YOU

There are different types of criminal background checks... some are superficial... some are so thorough they could probably tell you what color underwear you had on that day and when they were last washed. What type of job would the background check be for... someone can give a better answer knowing that.

[rhonkelly03]

It would be a clerical job in an office

[Firsttimer0613]

I am wondering if you ever figured out if it was still on your background check? Or did you have to hire a attorney to have it removed?

[Fr_Chuck]

Will it not show up on a regular background search, if the police, or court or national security backgrounds are done it will show up, but show it was pardoned
