Unfortunately, Anaheim Municipal Code section 7.12.030 imposes a curfew prohibiting minors from being out in public between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Anaheim is also amongst the strictest cities for enforcement of its Municipal Code in Orange County. The City of Anaheim goes so far in enforcing its Municipal Code that it is the only city in Orange County that prosecutes all misdemeanors in the City of Anaheim, while every other city in the county has the District Attorney's Office handle their misdemeanors.
That being said, these offenses are often handled informally through the Orange County Probation Department, and rarely result in convictions.
Best of luck.
There is a question asking"have you ever been convicted as a felon or misdemeanor. how do i go about answering this?: back in 2003 i was convicted of a felon penal code 11379(a) h&s transportation of controlled substance. and a misdemeanor charge for driving under a suspended license. my charges were later dismissed end of 2008 of my probation, upon completion i would have completed 270 days of community service and inpatient program. i tried to expunge my case on my own but the courts said that the felony was not reducible. but that both counts were dismissed under section 1203.4. what can i do? the company im applying for claims that a conviction wont automatically disqualify you for a job... but i just think thats bogus. i am currently working for a company called frys electronics for over 5 years and also work part time for a company called access medical management as a medical biller for 1 year.
Jeffrey’s answer:
I agree with Mr. Kaman, that Health & Safety Code section 11379(a) is a straight felony and cannot be reduced to a misdemeanor. Unfortunately, the court was correct. You did get this expunged pursuant to Penal Code section 203.4(a), but that has serious limitations. Although can legally answer you have never been convicted of the offense, after it has been expunged, there are several important exceptions: 1) Applying for state or local license, 2) Application for public office, and 3) Contracting with the California Lottery. The big problem I see with people applying for jobs in the public area is that many employers now do background checks, and don't understand what expungement is or how to interpret it. Employers see the charge, often times have no idea what expungement is, and then never call you for an interview because they perceive you have lied. Although this is wrong, improper, and violates the Faiar Employment Act, you don't always no the reason you were not called in for an interview or a second interview. Therefore, I recommend disclosing the conviction, and indicate that it has been expunged and your rights - with certain exceptions - restored.
Best of luck.
My 19 year old son was arrested for felony vandalism.: He and his College roomate threw water bottles off the balcony of his dorm and hit the door of a car. The owner pressed charges. He has contacted the owner of the car and apologized and offered to pay to fix it. The car owner has accepted his apology and is willing to drop the charges if they pay. Will the charges be dropped at this time?
Jeffrey’s answer:
I agree with Erik, that it is possible to keep this from being filed, or even get it dismissed once it's filed. Penal Code sections 1377 & 1378 allow for civil compromises of misdemeanor matters. For vandalism, that is damage causing less than $400.00. However, the victim requesting no prosecution and being made "whole" by way of restitution will go a long way with the prosecutors office.
Best of luck.
