Friend enrolled in GE. He's never had an issue whatsoever on his record until an unfortunate weekend, which resulted in a ticket while driving (no points, just a fine - but committed out of state, so NJ may give him points), and a citation for public drunkenness. This is not a misdemeanor, just a summary offense he said, but is nervous this will negatively impact him for GE, and in general for security, such as Pre-Check and the like.
Anyone know whether he'll be impacted? Thanks

He has nothing to worry about, they are primarily interested in immigration offenses.

I think a misdemeanor or felony even a non immigration one can be cause for denial.

Denial - what about current members though? And for future renewal, does a summary offense even show up on the record?

If an immigration charge would show up I believe a criminal charge/conviction would show up. Maybe delayed and maybe not til renewal but it would show up.

From the description these sound almost like civil infractions, not criminal offenses.
Anyway, GE is worried more about felonies and misdemeanors, particularly involving not just immigration but any kind of smuggling.
