On a related note, in the name of protecting us...; it looks like it's about to get worse. Heard on radio this morning that the federal government wants a new type, and seamless database. They are trying to talk all states into immediately reporting/importing all arrests and other info to a giant central database. This way all law enforcement and other investigators will have access to all and same info about you, one stop shopping...
To the OP: my personal feeling is that you should always self-disclose everything, no matter what. I've seen people in your circumstances get hired, then fired for not being honest. A friend of mine with two (silly) arrests just got hired by a legacy. It's not just you. Better safe than sorry.

However, in some states(California) protects any juveniles by saying you don't have to disclose those once your an adult.

Rule of thumb. If you were cited, booked or arrested you can safely assume it will show up on either state or fed record checks. So you might as well fess up. And what a civilians see vs. what an LEO gets to see is different. LEO's will see everything, even juvi stuff.
And how do I know this? I stayed at a holiday inn last night... JK.

Also if a federal agency asks a question (ie TSA) you need to answer the question literally, and not try to hide behind any state exclusions. The fed does not need to honor state laws which conflict with federal laws.

But if it ends up in the FBI Db, and you apply for a job outside CA, you may not be protected.

Op,
Any LEO will tell you if you got cited or booked it's there for the viewing. Honestly, you may NOT have to reveal it on a job app. But do you want to get a job offer and be in ground school only to be pulled out of class and lose your job because you weren't honest(intentionally or not). I'd rather have them tell me on the front end they don't want me, that way I wouldn't quit a job I already had only to be out on the street with nothing.
