If you are going to have a criminal record, "tormenting the church of scientology" is a pretty respectable thing to have on it. I would be more inclined to hire someone who did that.

Personally I agree with you but not everyone thinks the same. There are also other matters to consider like whether you are a repeat offender, the age the offence was committed, etc. In the current authoritarian climate we need to warn kids not to stop protesting and pranking but to think how they're doing it so it doesn't become self-harming.

true, as would it, however there are regulatory bullshits to consider. if somehow the financial industry makes tormenting the church of scientology a crime they can't tolerate for, i don't know, reasons that have absolutely positively nothing to do with shelley miscavige's conspicuously missing skull, maybe you don't want to work in the financial industry.
