Adjudicated guilty means that at some point a judge signed an order saying that you were guilty. That usually happens after a bench hearing or a trial.

Traffic tickets can be handled in a way where you pay a fine, don't go before a judge, and are not found guilty of a misdemeanor (which most traffic tickets are). I don't know in those cases if the charge is dropped, or dismissed, or you are found not guilty.

IANAL?

I Am Not A Lawyer. It's something that people say when they voice a legal opinion.

DQ'd?

OK. It doesn't sound like you know whether you were adjudicated guilty or not. Your lawyer can find that out.

You also don't say whether you were a minor at the time of the offense.

Look at item 17 on the blue instructions for the CHL application. It says, "any offense for which you were taken into custody..., or any offense for which you were charged under an information or indictment."

I don't know whether you are required to provide information on a "ticket" under these terms. Your lawyer should be able to tell you.

I agree with Frankie that the cops stuck it to you.

Oh, and welcome to the forum, and good luck. Please post how this works out.
