More details to this question:
Hello. I am 18 years old and received a citation for under possession of alcohol while under 21 and I was told that it is considered a violation in New York State. I paid a $100 fine after pleading guilty to this ticket, my question is, will I have to disclose this on a job application or law school, and if so how/when do I go about getting it expunged. Thanks.

A violation is not a crime. Therefore, if the question is whether you were ever convicted of a crime, the anser is no. If the question is whether you have been arrested, that is different. If you were just handed an appearance ticket, and were'nt handcuffed or placed in a cell, you can say that you were never arrested. It is no different than getting a speeding ticket. There is no provision for expunging such a violation.
