Legal Question
I was received an Open Alcohol Ordinance by drinking beer on the Clearwater beach in Clearwater, Florida 33762. My question is if I go down to the clerk of circuit court on the day of the hearing, is there any chance if I plea no contest and ask the judge to withhold the crime from my record and pay the fine, that it will not go on my permanent record? I am of age to drink and I have never committed a crime before. I just want to make sure in the future for jobs that I dont have to state that I have committed a crime because I hear this will come up in a background check. I would hate to look unfavorable for a job for an ordinance which is below a misdemeanor. Please let me know in your experience with ordinances if they are able to be expunged or have you heard of judges withholding judgement and just enforcing the fine.
