Hi guys,
First post, but I saw some awesome info here while browsing so I thought i'd share my little predicament.
ABout two weeks ago I was charged with the summary offence of 'offensive behaviour'. Basically a policeman told me to go home(it was 3am and I was quite drunk after a wedding', and I replied with a string of obscenities which would make a sailor blush.
I am scheduled in court for the 26th June, and plan to plead guilty. I am assuming I will recieve a conviction and criminal record for this, and am now in the fun spot of travelling to the US.
The holiday and tickets were already booked and paid, before the offence was committed, and a prepraid ticket to the value of $10 000 USD into a poker tournament.
I have read alot of posts on this topic, and just have a few last questions. My court date is 26.06.07, and we arrive in america on 03/07/07. Would the charge of even been processed this quickly. And the second question is could I enter the US on my UK passport(I was born in UK,got australian citizenship thorugh parents), and therefore avoid all problems as I have no criminal record in the UK>??
Thanks alot guys for any info or thoughts you have.
Matt
