I received a ticket for improper use of the carpool lane, i had received one other ticket in my life and i had
gotten a notification in the mail letting me know when to appear to court, therefore i assumed i would receive one for this one too. well needless to say a few months later i received a letter stating that my license can be suspended and a bench warrant issued for my arrest, along with a $800+ fee, the original fee was somewhere in the $400 range. Within the hour of receiving this letter I rushed to court, where i spoke to the clerk, she advised me that the state of California was no longer sending out notifications, to speak with the judge. i soon found out half the people in my court room were their on similar conditions, so i explained my situation to the judge and he ordered me to pay the original fine of $400 something dollars. i paid and took care of everything.
My question is... will this failure to appear show up on a background check for employment, such as the firefighting or the EMS industry, and can it affect my chance of employment. And if so how can i go about removing it off my record?
