Yes, an order for dismissal does not wipe out the record. For that you would need to petition the court to have the record expunged. ALSO: A LOT depends on WHAT KIND of dismissal you received. Dismissal WITHOUT prejudice means the same charge can be re-instituted against you again. Dismissal WITH prejudice means that that same charge can't be brought against you again for that particular offense.
abandonment has the same effect as an order of dismissal.
The president has granted the criminal a reprieve.
Stipulation Once a defendant has served an answer to the plaintiff's complaint, the plaintiff may obtain a dismissal without prejudice by entering a formal agreement, a stipulation, with the defendant. The parties agree to the terms of the dismissal, which must be filed with the court clerk and put into effect by the action of the clerk. A dismissal agreement is a court order that enforces the stipulation of the parties. A dismissal by stipulation is a dismissal without prejudice unless the parties otherwise agree and record their agreement in the text of the stipulation.
All criminal convictions incurred by an adult remain on their criminal record for life unless a Pardon is granted, or unless the sentence includes an order that the conviction will be expunged after specific conditions are met, such as a certain period of good behaviour.
If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record. HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.
If no criminal charges accompanied the incident that brought about the restraining order, there will be no record of it on your criminal history. However, if there was a criminal incident connected with it (e.g.: assault or battery - etc), THAT offense will remain on your adult criminal history record.
If you are referring to your 'criminal' record and you are over 18 years of age - it never 'disappears' from your record. Once you are an adult your criminal RECORD is always with you.
According to the California's expungement law one can file for a Petition for Dismissal in order to re-open the case in court. But there are several restrictions in order to qualify for this option.
Unless the order was issued as a result of a criminal offense, there is no criminality associated with it and it will not appear in any criminal history record. However - inasmuch as it was issued as a court order, ALL court records are considered 'public' records and if someone wanted to go to the trouble of researching it they could locate it. The record of the court order will exist forever. If it WAS issued as a result of a criminal offense, the underlying offense WILL appear on your criminal history record and become a permanent part of it.
No, but violations of such do. A restraining order is a civil order.
If you believe that you have found an error in your criminal record, you will have to petition the court in order to have it corrected or deleted. A judge will hear your complaint or explanation and issue a ruling. If the ruling is in your favor only then can your record be corrected.
Depends on the reason for the restraining order but I don't think, considering its temporary for whatever reason, it would count as a criminal offense.
