Which set of misdemeanors requires fingerprinting and forwarding to the NC SBI?

• A. Domestic criminal trespass; Offenses involving DV; Violation of DVPO; Impaired driving offenses; Possession of a controlled substance
• B. Domestic criminal trespass; Battery; Driving while intoxicated; Possession of drug paraphernalia
• C. Domestic criminal trespass; Offenses involving DV; Violation of DVPO
• D. Domestic criminal trespass; Offenses involving DV; Possession of a controlled substance; Driving while intoxicated

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is which misdemeanors require fingerprinting and forwarding to the NC SBI. In North Carolina, certain misdemeanor offenses trigger mandatory fingerprinting because they’re part of the SBI’s forward-to-FBI background-check list. Those offenses include domestic violence–related acts (such as domestic criminal trespass, offenses involving DV, and violations of a DV protection order) and drug or driving offenses (possession of a controlled substance and driving while impaired). A set that includes all of these categories covers every misdemeanor that must be fingerprinted and sent to the SBI. If a set omits any one of these required categories (for example, leaving out possession of a controlled substance or a DV-related offense like a DVPO), it wouldn’t fully meet the policy, making it not the correct compilation.
