Public Urination Background Check

I received a Pink Summons in NYC for public urination. I appeared in court and paid a fine. I am wondering how I should disclose this on employment applications. Thanks in advance.

 

hahaha.. don't sweat out man~ I was caught drinking underage (it sucked coz I was intoxicated on the street, otherwise wouldn't have been caught).. anyways, there are no records to check man~ probably things like academic integrity issue matters more..

I mean even if they do check, they should understand that when some kid just can't resist his physical urge and theres no toilet around..wat u expect lol

Signs of Recession: Banker: “Where’s me Bonus?” Yuppie: “Whadya mean I have to actually work?” Fox Rock Mum: “Lidl’s the place to be seen in now!” Cowen: “It’s not my fault that me and my party are complete f**k-ups - it’s the recession silly!”
 

They dont.

99.99% of background check typically consists of: 1) drug test 2) criminal record (felonies and other serious crims only apply) 3) credit check (to make sure you're not in bankruptcy) 4) transcripts (to make sure what you represented was true, GPA mainly) and that you are in fact a college graduate 5) work experience; call up past employers ONLY to verify the period of employment to confirm what you allege on your resume and throughout your interview process

It somewhat depends on the original charge. Public urination can be cited on a pink summons in New York as either a misdemeanor (153.09) Health Code violation or a violation (16-118) of the NYC Administrative Code.

It also depends on the nature and depth of the criminal background check being performed. You can read more here: http://www.public-urination.com/public-urination-background-checks/

When I see "Please curb your dog" signs*, I don't let my dogs piss there.

  • You see these all over the East Side. That's why I have only lived West Side and Harlem. People are more relaxed about dog urine over here.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.

OP,

In situations like this, I am of the opinion it is your obligation to do no more or less than what is asked of you. If you signed something saying you would inform the firm of things like, you should. If you are asked by HR, compliance, or in any other formal capacity a question that to answer truthfully would require disclosure, you should. If not, I see no reason why you should and/or would be required to*.

  • The caveat to this is the extremely unlikely situation where this may actually affect your firm. E.g if you accepted to work at GS and you pissed "I'm a GS BSD" on a wall while talking about working there, that was quoted on the citation, and numerous people took recordings. If there's a real chance "{Future} GS banker pisses people off talking about his career, literally" you probably should let GS know.

bump. Please help guys. Super stressed about this.

Explain to us how much you've thought this through before resorting to the wisdom of the internet. What upside is there for you to volunteer this information to them? In what situation would that make your position any better?

frankendog64:

I understand that volunteering this info isn't a good idea. But if they find out in a background check, would this be grounds for dismissal? Or do they not care about minor things like this?

If you would be dismissed once they know, what is the benefit of volunteering the info now? How does that improve your situation?

I once found out a 46 year old MD rainmaker received a public urination ticket 25 years earlier. I fired him on the spot.

Dick here probably found the guy on the Megan's Law website, OP. Maybe check to see if your name is on it
