And yes, I would assume NO tickets over 35yrs would be a bit preposterous for most of us. Although I do know a few people who have zero.

Some people lie without thinking twice about it, others have a moral compass and don't.

The less you give them on your terms, they more they will find on their terms anyway. And they will find things on their terms. They are exceptionally good at that.

Thanks for the suggestions...my main goal is to get hired after my interview...THEN to hold a line out of LAX (sooner or later), regardless of type/size. Being gone commuting and doing the crash pad thing is something I am trying to avoid, while staying in SOCAL (for family reasons). I understand that it's a bit of my having my cake and eating it too....but I'm just stating my goal!

I have a moral compass, my question was merely to ask if there was some possible way to learn every single ticket (meaning a couple I forgot). Had more than a few in my teens & early 20's.
And as gloopy alluded; "And they will find things on their terms. They are exceptionally good at that". Seems that would entail hacking into the main computer or police accessible database which does list every infraction a driver receives...
