Any conviction will be revealed if you're fingerprinted. I suggest you discuss if a shoplifting conviction will bar you from receiving a teaching credential with the state licensing authority. Expunction won't remove the Conviction or conceal it. Only a pardon will do that. This is why people should obey the law. One conviction will forever ruin your life.
