I can't answer your question about what agency BI's reference but, they had computers back then and I bet somewhere deep in their computers there is a record of your arrest.
That's what I believe, also. I am going to exhaust myself in my search for the record, using every available resource. If I can not find anything, I will proceed.

Also, you will have to give them your hometown info.
Yes, but I have not lived in the city in which the charge occured since I was 14. I know that it will be listed as my place of birth, but the department only wants to know info since I've turned 17.

Further, LE agencies can find info about the defendant that the defendant can't find for himself.
How is this possible? I would assume that since I'm involved, I would have access to whatever resources the BI would have access to. In the end, I guess that's why I started this thread: to find out what systems BI use in order to assure that I will be prepared.

A good BI can dig deeper than you ever thought.
Point well taken. I'm hoping my current credentials and confidence (not to mention stunning good looks) will ensure that the BI will see no need to dig beneath the surface of what he finds.

I would think under 5 grams is a misdimeanor in just about any state unless it was proved that you intended to sell.
When I was arrested, it was a violation of a city ordinance in my state. In the state I am applying for, it is a Class B misdermeanor.

I would, also, bet that many, many active LEO's has had more than 5 grams in their posession when they were youngsters.
That's what I'm assuming, also. I would hope that these same LEOs would offer their advice, since they are living proof that people can change and become productive members of the LE community.
By the way, I was just joking about the stunning good looks. They're only average, and I've never stunned anyone with them.
