With that said, I never brought it up in the interview, not because I was scared but because that is all they asked me. I am all for 100% honesty but at the same time I was not going to bring up something that happened 7 months earlier knowing it was not a reflection of who I really am. They never asked me about it and I never brought it up. Even though I was nervous about it after the interview, I got hired and went through training with nothing ever being brought up. If you were convicted, definitely bring it up but all my friends I talked to about it told me not to bring it up in my interview unless they asked. My 2 cents. Good luck man!

If it's just a minor ticket and you don't have many, then honesty is probably safest if in doubt.

'Just fess up if you jumped a fence and stole a female alligator with the intent to cross-breed human and gator

- Those ERAU dopes last year, good one.
For me, as far as the Public Intoxication, as long as you didn't operate a vehicle AND you can explain that this 'activity' did not cause you to miss work or an assignment, I wouldn't sweat it.

Hi!
I live in WI, and in WI, the driver record shows all the citations (plus accidents, even if they're not your fault!!!) for the past 5 years, unless it's an alchohol-related infraction, then it's at least 10 years.
I have lived in multiple states, and have multiple tickets (no alchohol-related ones) that are so old and/or old and not from WI, that don't show on my record.
I don't know the details/years, etc. on these old tickets.
I read, several places, that these citations CAN be found somehow.
I can't access them, so what should I do?
