To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been acquited or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record.
Felonies are life-long charges, unless you are later found not guilty, in which case it can be wiped from your record.
Unless the offense occurred prior to your 18th birthday, your criminal record is a permanent part of your adult criminal history record.
A DUI conviction or any felony conviction becomes a permanent part of the convicted person's criminal record.
Normally it would remain on your record forever. I assume you meant felony conviction. The fact that you were charged with something is really nobody's business but yours, unless you were found guilty.
There is no statute of limitations on a felony drug conviction. You were charged and convicted. It is a part of your record forever.
For life.
A felony conviction will remain on your 'record' indefinetly, until you have it expunged via Court order.
A conviction stays on your record and will affect you for life.
Forever. Any charge/conviction will never fall of a record.
Felonies are forever... Expunging a record is very difficult and very costly.
For life, and it won't just be in TN, either.
Question is unclear. Are you asking how long the record of your conviction will remain on file? If so, unless you committed the offense prior to your 18th birthday, a conviction is a permanent record in your adult criminal history record.
Unfortunately, for the rest of your life--unless you are granted a pardon by the governor or the felony is expungable.
yes as long as it wasnt a felony conviction
