Why People Choose SIS
SIS can be an opportunity to move forward without a permanent conviction on your record. But it’s important to understand that:
You waive your right to a trial by pleading guilty.
You must follow all probation conditions for the full term.
A violation can lead to sentencing and a conviction being entered on your record.
Successfully completing SIS probation means you can legally answer "no" to questions about whether you have ever been convicted of a crime. But an SIS is a finding of guilt, so if the question asks whether you have ever been found guilty, charged, arrested, or entered a plea in lieu of a conviction, you will still have to disclose the SIS. And certain government agencies, like law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts can always see the record internally.
