If you were arrested, it will show. If you were arrested multiple times, it will show each time you were arrested and what you were arrested for but if you were acquitted of the charges then it will state that in the records.

Clarification: Just because a charge was "dismissed" or "Nolle Prossed" does not mean it is automatically expuinged from your record. The record of your arrest will still exist as well as the record of the court action (i.e.: dismissed or nolle'd).

You must file a formal request for expungment to have these records concealed,

A felony conviction remains on your criminal record indefinitely in most cases. However, the impact it has on a background check can vary depending on the employer or organization conducting the check and the laws in the jurisdiction. In some cases, after a certain number of years, certain types of felony convictions may be sealed or expunged from a person's record. It's best to consult with a legal professional for personalized advice.


If a case with a guilty plea is reopened with a final judgment of not guilty case dismissed still a conviction?

Wait. If there is a plea of guilty, there can be no not guilty decision; in such cases, there is no trial, only sentencing. The only way it would be reopened is if the defendant rescinded his guilty plea and successfully appealed for a new trial, which then, in theory, could be dismissed. In the event of a dismissal, there is no conviction, unless of course the prosecutor successfully appeals and seeks a new trial, which in light of the original guilty plea, most prosecutors would.


Do you have to disclose your conviction which is 18 years old?

Whether you need to disclose an 18-year-old conviction depends on the context and local laws. In many cases, if the conviction has been expunged or sealed, you may not be required to disclose it. However, certain applications, such as for specific jobs or licenses, may require you to disclose any felony convictions regardless of their age. It's advisable to check the specific legal requirements in your jurisdiction or consult with a legal professional for guidance.

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.
