No. Like a driver's record, a criminal record stays with you for life.
Yes, it's a request to have your record EXPUNGED.
If the record is valid it cannot be expunged, it is a permanent part of the person's criminal history.
Not enough specific information is supplied in the question in order to answer completely.If you were convicted of a felony, pronounced guilty, and received probation as your sentence, you are STILL a convicted felon whether you successfully completed your probation or not.If you received probation before the court adjudged you - contingent upon your completing probation satisfactorily - (usually referred to as PBJ), AND you were subsequently declared Not Guilty by the court, then the record of your conivction SHOULD be clear of a felony conviction.HOWEVER: Arrest records maintained by the law enforcement agency and your court record will always reflect that you were arrested and charged with a felony.Unless you petitioned and had your record expunged your record will still exist, and this could cause you some problems.For a completely felony-clear record you should take action to have your record expunged. CAUTION: Even if expunged, although no longer available to "the public" the record of your conviction, or non-conviction, will ALWAYS be available to government agencies, law enforcement, and the courts.
The only way a felony on any level, state or federal can be cleared from a record is if an appellate court overturns a conviction (meaning that an individual should never have been found guilty). If an individual has been found guilty of a felony, it will remain on record for life.
I don't believe so because a misdemeanor is not considered a felony ...
No. Unless committed prior to your 18th birthday your criminal history is a permanent record, and doe not 'go away.'
The length of time you have been released makes no difference - you must petition the court to have your record "expunged" and give good reason as to why the record should disappear.
There is not a way to clear your criminal felony record in the state of New York. You just need to make sure that you do not get in trouble no more.
Yes, your record will clear when you become an adult at the age of 18. At that time, you will get to start with a clean slate unless it's a search from the FBI, the offenses are after 1976 (When the govt. went digital). As an adult, anything on your record will not "Clear", even if you are not convicted of the charge-the CHARGE will still be on your 'Historical charges sheet". Added: In some states, you must take affirmative steps to clear your juvenile criminal record. It may not be automatic.
To determine if you qualify for the expungement of a STATE offense ONLY see the below link.However, if you were convicted of a federal offense this will NOT apply.
I believe that there is confusion in the questioner's mind over the term "police clearance." As commonly used, that term refers to the record search of the individual's own criminal history. If the individual has a criminal history, the police will furnsih them a copy of it, showing what offense(s) the individual has in his file. If the individual has NO criminal record the police will issue a notice of "No Record On FIle." Hence, the individual will have a "clear" record. Someone who has been arrested, but not convicted, of a crime WILL have a record of the arrest and the reason for it, on flile, thus, that person's record will NOT be "clear."
No.
