I believe that may be the case but was also told its not a spent conviction so will not appear in a background check, which is what they check for. Things like warnings, fines and so on don't appear, that's what I was told but I have no idea. I didn't go to prison, I just paid a fine. It was done in like 2 minutes at the court then I went home. One friend said its far too small, don't worry but I have no idea as I have never had anything like this happen before.
