A relative of mine drove a friend home who had been drinking and he left a bottle in his back seat. Unfortunately he lives in a town where the only thing you have to do to get pulled over is to be black, hispanic, or a teen. So he was pulled over the next day and the policeman saw the bottle in the back seat on the floor and wrote him up for an open container violation. Over a year later he applied for a job at a national electronics chain who uses a national agency to run background checks and they reported the open container violation. The relative got a letter stating that the employer declines offering employment to people with open container violations. So, I suppose my question is this, does an open container violation make you unemployable? Is there any time limit for such an issue? Thanks for reading this.
