Yeah, I knew the "Your A Criminal Comment" post was coming. Oh well, that's what I get for posting my business in a forum. Thank you for the great advice.
As far as being a criminal....
Well, I am not. I complied with my probation, fines, classes, and 5 year license suspension.
Yes I made some VERY bad choices in my early twenties.
I could sit here and think of the would've, should've, could'ves, but the bottom line is these crimes were not felonies and nobody was injured or killed.
I look back at this time in my life with regret and thanks that nothing horribly bad happened as a result of this.
I am going to speak to a lawyer about this tomorrow. It looks like I am going to have to decide if I want to pay lawyer fees or wait the 2 years. Since none of this is hard written anywhere, who is to say what happens when I go back in 2 years. Will that be long enough?
The whole reason I posted this in the first place is to get advice (which I thank all of you for) It seems to me that my situation falls into a somewhat gray area. I am obviously upset that I got denied, but I am trying to see if I have a chance at getting this reversed.
I will post more as I find out....
