Has the record of arrest (and charge, if you were initially charged with possession before it was reduced) affected you at all, to your knowledge?

Well it was not recorded as that, it was just a "parking fine". What's why I'm saying I'm lucky it wasn't logged as substance possession. Also by arrested I mean handcuffed/put into a car, but I wasn't taken to a jail. I was just written a possession fine/piece of paper.

I think the answer to your question is I was not affected. As I've taken jobs that had to do security checks to get in and I got through. I guess it depends what they're looking for.
