Like the previous guy said, expunged items will still show up. Its a racket for your money. You could get arrested, be found not guilty, get everything expunged, and companies can still find it.


What does the application say regarding convictions/arrests? This is the key part imo.

If you have been arrested, odds are is that someone can find it if they look hard enough.

They won't care if it's expunged or not if a google search brings it up. They'll move on to the next one.


Wait, so if your record is expunged, it will still show up on a background check? I'm not talking about about a high security clearance background check.

Yes.

Its a waste of money.




Here is 1 example of why its always there. You get arrested in West Baton Rouge for a misdemeanor and spend the night in jail. There are people that go the clerks office all the time collecting records for websites such as intellius. They see your arrest and put it in their system. Two years later you get the charge expunged and everything is clear with the West Baton Rouge office. Meanwhile, nothing is cleared on the internet.

This. I only have a secret, but they go back pretty much your entire life, need all kinds of references, every address you've lived, etc.

It doesn't seem legal for websites to be able to do this, does it?

For them to display damning personal info on their websites, that technically is false.

If they use expunged information to discriminate in hiring they can be in just as much trouble as not hiring a gay man for liking dicks. Only medical, law enforcement/federal agencies, and gaming can see that stuff and use it.

What would be false about it though?

It would say Funky Tide was arrested in West Baton Rouge on April 26, 2016. Thats not false.

I'm talking more about charges that were thrown out I guess. Would it say "funky tide 8 was charged with possession of illegal substance, but the charge was thrown out."?

and what is the point of expunging an arrest if it still shows up? You are saying that paying to get an arrest expunged is just a way for the court systems to make easy money?

No. It would say that you were arrested on said date.

Newspapers publish everyone that got arrested for DWIs over the weekend. You could be in the paper, have the charges dropped two months later, but its out there that you were arrested.
