This is of course AFTER he plead no contest which is seen as the same as a guilty plea in the eyes of the court. Once a person has been convicted, there is a different set of rules that can be imposed.
Felons have a lot of rights and privileges taken away once convicted. It is this way to protect society.
Since he is on parole, he has not paid his debt to society yet until that is over.
But he isnt a felon...and yes, it DOES matter.
