How bad is disorderly conduct and is their anything I should do to improve my record if needed?

Asked by a user in Staten Island, NY - 7 months ago.

If you were convicted of Disorderly Conduct as part of a plea bargain, then your record would be sealed pursuant to CPL section 160.50. That section among other things requires the court to notify the arresting agency to destroy the ,"prints and mug shots" If you were arrested for Disorderly Conduct and pled guilty, then you were not printed, as it is not a printable offense.

A judge required me to report to court in 1983 in PA because they thought my FL license was suspended. Statute of limitations?

Asked by a user in Syracuse, NY - 7 months ago.

If I understand your question, you failed to appear in a PA. Court in 1983 on an inspection charge and on a driving while suspended charge. First off I would guess that you have a valid NY driver's license, therefore the PA. Court did not suspend you for failure to appear. As far as the warrant , I would contact a local attorney who can ascertain whether a warrant is in effect. If one is, the the issuing Court needs to be dealt with.

Ive been charged and scentenced for a first offense DWI while in the process of moving to another state.

Asked by a user in Hampton Bays, NY - 7 months ago.

I assume that you were convicted of misdemeanor DWI.Under the Compact receiving States are not required to accept supervision on misdemeanor convictions. I would first contact your original attorney , if he or she is not interested then retain a "new" one to move the Court to re-sentence you to a conditional disharge. Be prepared to pay all fines and surcharges due. Refer to the NYS DMV website regarding licensing issues .
