Question: What civil rights and employment rights would I lose if convicted of a felony?

Answer: Arizona Law (ARS 13-904) states what civil and employment rights you lose. These include:

1. The right to vote.
2. The right to hold public office of trust or profit.
3. The right to serve as a juror.
4. The right to possess a gun or firearm.

A person may be denied employment by the state or any of its agencies or may be denied a license, permit or certificate to engage in an occupation (such as a Realtor, hair stylist, accountant, contractor, landscaper, etc.) if the felony has a reasonable relationship to the license, permit or certificate.

How much of a criminal would you be if you were fourteen trying to pay electric bills ect. How much of a criminal would you be if your entire childhood was taken away because your parents never took the responsibility to raise their children. How much of criminal would you be if you tried to get a job, but every place you went to said that you were to young. Was I to young to be hungry? Was I to young to want a roof over my head. I've always had a good heart. I've never wished anybody any ill will. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Because of something I did when I was fifteen
