    Probably not, but you should ask the personnel dept of whatever agency you're interested in. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

    So, which is it, 13 or 15? You claim to be 17, so the timeline shouldn't be off by 2 years. Why do you not know if you were 13 or 15, when you committed this crime?

    You asked the same question 2 months ago. Did you believe so stupid so as not to remember? Did you believe you'd get a different answer due to the passage of time?

    At this point you're trolling. Definitely nothing more, but more than likely something less.

    Remember people, don't feed the animals.

    That would be looked at as an integrity problem in my agency and that is something that never goes away with time, even when the offense is as a juvenile.

    It may be viewed differently by some agencies or departents, but it's the nature of the violation that is a problem.

    My call to the psychic hotline says you will never be employed in law enforcement.

    Can't speak for California (who knows out there), but a felony conviction at any age in Texas equals no law enforcement, ever.
