So what would he answer when asked: Have you been convicted of any offense besides traffic tickets? I think DUI would be out of that category. But lets take Google out of the picture. Do you think that as an employer I will be so stupid to take your good word for it? Think again. I will be checking up CCAP when I get your application. We used to do that to screen customers when I worked in the payday loan industry. Why? Because I want to see if other loan companies have sued you. What happens when I see that there? If Google will make a difference, CCAP will make an even bigger difference since there is more info on CCAP than Google about your legal exploits.
So yes, Google, not withstanding, it can still come back to haunt you. If you want to argue that it is unfair, feel free. Tell Madoff's kids that people should not hold it against them that their father was involved in something naughty. I'm sure it would be nice to say that when your penalty to the court system is paid, everything is expunged but that is not going to be the case. It will dog you.
