I had a minor conviction back in 1978 when the police showed up at my door and quickly pushed a warrant in my face and walked in....the warrant was not even for my address ....and In court they said I had invited them in to search.....anyways got busted for a piece of stalk and an empty clean fiver vial... . it was thrown out of court by the judge on the first go due to no evidence ...but the crown re-charged me.. based on my statement ....that I knew what it was ....and that it was mine,,,,
I had only said that I knew what the stalk and 5ver was .....because if they continued to look....,there was a chance they could have found the kilo of black hash I had in my room....
I have never even mentioned it on any job applications over the last 40 years...and it has never even come up at any... employer level....and I have worked for the Ontario government go transit ....as well as some other bonded jobs...
I can't see stirring up the shit now....
It should have been a blanket expungement of all cannabis charges then instead of pardon....either way......shame on the government for not doing the right thing....
