CRIMINAL EXPUNGEMENT

CRIMINAL EXPUNGEMENTS

Are court-ordered processes in which a criminal conviction is erased in the eyes of the law. However, each state handles criminal expungements differently.

In particular, here are two definitions that are good to know, and to understand fully:

Sealed
Under sealed

With this in mind, these are the two most used words people are confused about.

Hence, this is why I am going to explain them further…please scroll down to read the following…

Sealed criminal expungements

Sealed – An arrest or criminal conviction that cannot be disclosed to certain parties and actions but the ones allowed access.

This sealed criminal expungement record prohibits access to these parties and actions:

Potential employers
Background searches
Educational institutions
Rental housing/apartment applications

Because sealed records prohibit these parties access, this allows people to a second chance at life.

For the same reason states like California benefit from this law, which boosts the housing market and the economy.

Evidence of this is the current booming housing market, which allows people with sealed records to compete.

Under seal criminal expungements

Under seal – Sealed arrests or convictions that cannot be erased and can be accessed by certain parties.

Conversely, this under seal criminal expungement record allows access to these three parties:

Government agencies
Law enforcement
Criminal courts

Because under seal records allow these parties access, this really causes alarm.

However, without a doubt the government benefits from this law.

In contrast this law just actually helps criminal court have proof of prior conviction.
