Definitely, but they keep it pretty vague. I'm assuming they're not just counting felonies, but also maybe someone who had some minor incident when they were a teenager.

I could see a lot of parents having some stupid minor on their record from when they were a bit more reckless.

Most crimes committed by minors in the US are expunged from their records when they come of age.

I believe you're slightly misreading chucknelson. I don't think he said "minor" to mean "underage", but rather "not felony". ("Minor" may have a distinct meaning from "misdemeanor", but IANAL.)

And unfortunately, teenage bad judgment doesn't automatically end on the 18th birthday...
