I'm not sure what to in the section of AACOMAS that asks about misdemeanors. I got a misdemeanor charge at 16 for throwing water balloons at a cop. I know I had to pay a fine and go to some class.... I may have even went before a judge I don't really remember as it was over 10 yrs ago. I do believe that one of my friends who was with me hired a lawyer and eventually they got the misdemeanor removed and we even got the fines refunded.... The problem is I don't really remember and the details are very fuzzy. Do I include this information and just recall it to the best I can?

Also, I am a Utah resident where moving traffic violations are Class C Misdemeanors. Over the past 11 yrs I have had 3 moving violations. Age 16, failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. At age 19, improper lane travel. Then last year in May I got my first speeding ticket, 43 in a 35 zone or something like that. I am fairly certain all these tickets are misdemeanors, but I no longer have records of them and the first two didn't show up on my state driving record.

I am leaning towards just including all this info to be safe.... but not sure if that is the best way to go.... any advice??
 
Ask a lawyer. I know in California if you're under 18 your record becomes sealed especially for a misdemeanor. A background check would not yield anything
 
I'd probably put the traffic violations just to be safe.. If I had to bet I would assume that you did have the first misdemeanor you speak of wiped when you went to that class.. Still technically on your government record (like for the military and stuff) but not on anything a background check for aacomas would bring up.

Safest thing would be to consult a lawyer but if you dont have the cash for that I'd include everything.
 
You may not have a choice about listing the misdemeanors, but I would avoid putting the traffic violations. No need to incriminate yourself unnecessarily
