Guys does any of you know how they do background checks?

is it solely using fingerprints, name and date of birth?

What methods they use to search, is it under your state criminal database?

Just wondering. Cause I had a No DL ticket and no Insurance back in 2003.
I know that's not a serious crime but I think that will come up on the search.

Although Let me mention, that I was arrested for that. And taken fingerprints and all that. but I was released hours later with a fine. you know how they take u to jail for that

Did you include that in your app? If so, you're okay. They did say that minor traffic offenses would not count.

Minor traffic do not count! WE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO INCLUDE THEM IN THE APPLICATION PACKET! Am I wrong! I did not read that anywhere in instructions

No. I checked the box as "no" criminal offenses. BEcause that's not considered criminal offense.

That's just a traffic violation.

The application ask for any type of criminal offense, not traffic violations.

Yeah So If u had a minor traffic offense I'm sure it will come up In your record but it will not count against you... I was stopped at 16years old with a minor traffic offense I cut someone off(I didn't notice until the police stopped me lol) I was given a ticket and I paid it...( not sure what the tickets were for)then again when I was 22 I was pulled over for crossing a double line I gave the officer my name and it came out on their system! :O I was shocked! and scared but so he gave me a 2 tickets for not having a DL and crossing a double line I paid both.

I got sane thing. Fingerprints were taken when I got arrested but according to the application you should answer NO because it's traffic related. If you got arrested for assault, rape, kill, etc then prob a yeah :-\ but you are koo koo

does anyone know if on the background check it comes out what you were arrested for. Or does it only tell you what you were convicted of?

I would hope they have a lot of information.
