sorry to hear that jen , is gonna be very hard . laws are written so bad that anyone for any minor violation can have a felony on their record .while politician brake the laws left and right without any consequences and keep collecting their hefty paychecks.

I suggest that you concentrate on turning your life around and then contacting a lawyer to have your record expunged and or sealed.

my felonies are due to having a pipe in my possession and my background report reads in all CAPS "FELONY DANGEROUS DRUGS. Guilty." I didn't even have drugs on me. Just a bit of residue in my pipe each time I was searched. Once when I simply walked into Casino Arizona by myself on my birthday at 7:30am where, in the lobby, stood a casino security guard and a cop who demanded to search my purse claiming it was company policy. And he went through every nook and cranny!! Found my pipe and I got to spend my birthday in the matrix. The other time a friend got pulled over and had a warrant, giving the cops right to search. Since then, 2016, I have lost my North Scottsdale home, my car and all of my possessions. Why? Because I can't get a job!! Why? Because of Arizona law and the PIGS that they are. Everyone hiring background checks!! I used to make $150,000 a year!! Now I'm lucky if I make $150 a week. As for housing... I've only been able to rent rooms and the one I'm in now has been great! By far the best... But, the owner is coming back from Florida in September and I have to move out. What now? With my FELONIES, LOUSY CREDIT and the INSANE RENTAL PRICES... I figure I have two choices. Hang Myself OR Go Gangster!! So, I ask those of you in law enforcement and those of you in high society that determine the laws and due process... What exactly do you gain from my scenario? I can’t pay your $3500 fines, you haven’t locked me up to benefit from my slaved labor… So, how exactly is this situation, like so many others, improving society?! If you ask me… You aren’t in the business of lowering crime. You’re in the business of breeding it!! I’m too chicken to hang myself. Therefore, I must survive! And to survive, criminal activity will take place. Kudos!
