As long as it’s on the record we can find out before say, hiring or dating these people. Also if they commit further crimes these ones are still on the record, they aren’t declared innocent by pardons so perhaps a judge will not treat them as first-time offenders when it comes to bond hearings or sentencing.
Accepting a pardon means that you admit to the crime.
