First offenders is only given if the crime is non violent. The actual percentage of people who can finish first offenders with out violation is some where in the neighborhood of 3-5%. Less than 70% make it through the first year. I personally see this as a second chance and the fact that I have not only paid approx $4500 in fines spent 365 hour in community service and on top of all of that I have been on probation for just under 5 years is penitence enough. If you violate your probation on first offenders the judge normally sentences you to max for all the crimes that got you there in the first place then on top of all that you get a hefty amount of time for the crime you have committed. I don't think that every one should be allowed to get a GFL if they were on first offenders I think they should be taken on a case by case basis. what really pisses me off about all this is the fact that not only can I not get my GFL but now I cannot continue on with my SWAT medic training because of it.

Can you not continue with medic training because of priors, or because you are not eligible for a GFL?

Not eligible to be a cop or work for the police dept because of a felony record.
