Legal Question in Traffic Law in Maryland

stet dockets

I was put on the stet docket this summer for hit and run. There was no arrest involved, it was a very minor accident. I was charged with the crime and attended a preliminary hearing, then put on the stet docket provided I completed 24 hours of community service. I have since done so. My question is when applying for jobs and volunteering positions that involve background checks, do I need to list that information when they ask if I have any convictions? Also, does this show up on my record, and for how long? Thanks.

Re: stet dockets

A case that has been placed on the stet docket is not a conviction. The case may be reactivated for prosecution under certain conditions that I'm sure were explained to you in court and it does show up on the court records, but not as a conviction. The case will remain on the record. You may file for an expungement after 3 years.
