I have never known anyone at a military gate to ask anyone entering the base about a criminal record.

Does your employer know you are a felon? Many employers have to submit lists to the military before their employees can enter a base. You then get permission and that's the ID you show at the gate.

My employer knows. I just plead gulity to it 2 weeks ago, and was allowed on the base before I plead guilty, they make you go inside and they check your license and ask for your ssn. I just don't want to show up there and not be able to get on the base for getting arrested for 1 painkiller that was in my car(that did not happen on the base)

In what state is having "1 pain killer in my car" a felony?

JudyKayTee · Feb 15, 2011, 01:24 PM

Yes, it appears they run the names. I doubt you will be able to get onto the base.

And I agree - one pain killer and a felony charge? Do you have a previous record, stolen prescription, something else?

I thought NY was bad! This is amazing. Was there no way to plead down to a lessor charge?

I had a public defender and he was going to try to get the cops for illegal search and seizure because I wasn't even in the car someone I was with had a warrant I guess and the cops showed up at the store we were at and they had had the dog sniffing around the truck before I even new the cops were there, the cops said the dog hit and found the pill. So we went to court a my public defender told me just take the deal because they can't prove the dog didn't hit so I took it and got 2 years first time offenders probation. It's a huge mess and I have 2 weeks to decide if I want to bring it back in front of judge I don't know what to do

If you go before a Judge what is the worst thing that can happen? I'd find that out and weigh it against pleading guilty.
