So being busted with weed may now just get you a ticket, instead of an arrest. Of course the alleged pothead still has to show up for court or else get an arrest warrant issued and end up in jail.

is a conviction for this small amount a violation or a misdemeanor? even if there was no arrest/prints a conviction can still show up on an OCA background check?

Supposedly it's just a violation, equivalent to a traffic offense.

The rules governing Marijuana are complex. Also, this is a little known fact, the sealing on a conviction, after three years, is the same as an ACD. Criminal Procedure Law Section 160.50 indicates that a marijuana violation is fully expunged after three years and the sealing is the same as a dismissal, ACD, acquittal, etc. Very few people know this.
