Well, misdemeanors aren't quite bumps in the road, at least for the average guy that will want a job down the road. Anything over an infraction will show on your record in any pre-employment background check and being documented as reckless as well as conspiring to commit crimes isn't even going to get you a job at McD's.

Of course kiddo may have a background that doesn't require regular employment.
