Can forgery conviction be seal in Illinois?
You would have to petition the court with a request to seal the record, giving good reason why it should be granted. Sealing the case file will not remove the record of your arrest and conviction.
Can you get court supervision for a speeding ticket in Iowa I am licensed in Illinois and will that go against my Illinois license?
Good luck with that one. My wife got a ticket in Iowa and she had to take the conviction. I called attorneys in Iowa and they wanted a $500 retainer just to show up for her. It's not like in Illinois where you pay an attorney $75 and he gets you supervision. I'd imagine that if you go to court in Iowa you may be able to get it, but if you get convicted like she did, it will show on your Illinois record.
What happens on court supervision?
In Illinois, if you are charged with a traffic or misdemeanor offense, there are three potential outcomes. One is a finding of "not guilty," or an acquittal, following a trial. Another is a conviction of the offense by way of the verdict or a plea of guilty. The third, a disposition of court supervision, is somewhere between those two. The term "court supervision" is a reference to a particular sentencing option available in most traffic, municipal ordinance, and misdemeanor cases in the state of Illinois. It is not applicable to felony offenses. Court supervision can only be granted by a judge, and it is granted as a discretionary measure, not as a matter of right. In order to receive a sentence of court supervision, you must first offer to plead guilty in court to whatever offense has been charged. If the judge believes that a sentence of court supervision is appropriate, he or she takes the guilty plea under advisement, and does not enter it as a conviction at that time. Instead, you are then placed on a period of court supervision, usually lasting three to twenty-four months. The court will impose conditions which you must obey during the period of supervision. The law requires you to refrain from committing further offenses while on supervision. Additional conditions may include the payment of fines and costs, performance of public service work, treatment for drug and/or alcohol addiction, counseling, and whatever else may seem appropriate. Following successful completion of the period of court supervision, the case is dismissed, and no conviction is ever entered on the record.
What is the difference between court supervision and probation?
Court supervision is expunged for the personÕs record with the person follows all terms and conditions. With probation, the charges stay on the personÕs record.
What does petition to revoke court supervision mean?
It means that the original court supervision is being taken away. In other words, you or someone you know offended either with a traffic violation or misdemeanor and the court (judge) decided that court supervision was appropriate, at some point "you" had to plead guilty but it is not entered as a conviction at that time. You will be supervised by the court up to 24 months. To have the court supervision revoked means that "you" did not comply with everything that was asked of "you" since it is being revoked a different, harsher sentence will be imposed along with the violation be added to your record and the possibility of more fines and other added or increased terms. Consult an attorney as every State could be different.

What steps do you take to get police record spongs?
I'm guessing that you meant to say "expunged" or purged/sealed. This is done by appealing to the court(s) where the conviction(s) was/were obtained. It is not often done. For the court to consider a expungment, you usually have to show that the charge was made or the conviction obtained unjustly, or that your life since the conviction has been so exemplary that it would be unjust for the charge to hinder you further. In most cases, a court will rule that your record since the case should speak for itself and refuse to expunge the record.
What happens if you get a ticket while under court supervision in Illinois?
It's up to your parole officer. I would report it to your supervisor with a good explanation.

Probably nothing. Wisconsin is not part of the Violator Compact and does not share info with Illinois. If by chance they do report it, your license can be suspended.
