So, after reversing at least one part of your earlier ranting post, are you now suggesting that if someone was treated as an adult in a state criminal system but they find that their record never made it into the NCIC, they lie on an employment application? Does that go for offenses that, while both adult and criminal are not reported for various other reasons?

The only hair I'm splitting on the OP's post is that he may not know the effect of his "conviction" or whether he was "convicted" of anything at all. You are assuming that he knows the legal ramifications of his conviction; based on my experience, I am not willing to make that assumption and am suggesting finding out is the most prudent course.
