Smile for the mugshot. Anything less is a temporary inconvenience, and that applies to all of us.

The 2 cases are as follows:
(a) failed to pay inspection sticker ticket, was arrested, paid fine, was released.
(b) failed to pay speeding ticket, was arrested, paid tickets, was released.

Reading the form, they are arrests, so need to be reported under criminal history. However, nether offense is a bar to issuance of a CHL, so the disposition of the cases should be irrelevant.

If you do think "a certified copy of judgment and sentence" is needed, from where (e.g. police department, local court system, etc.) do you think it should be obtained?

Thanks for your help.
