View Full Version : Ben Swann ON: CA Considers Erasing Records For Low Level Offenders
March 13, 2019
A new bill introduced in the California legislature would wipe the slate clean for millions of people who have served time in prison - but law enforcement agencies would still be able to access these records.

If low law enforcement can still see it the only advantage would be that potential employers cannot ?

Better we should return to the standard that no record is retained (much less published) if a person is found not guilty in a court of law.

Elevating LE , no thanks.
If its low level Crime and its to be erased, then erase it.
If a prison term is served, I don't see the crimes as being 'low level' .

Records are still listed with an outcome. Not guilty, dismissed, Nolle Pros etc on the records. You have to make a request to the state in order to get stuff expunged.
If a violation has been committed against person or property it is a crime. Otherwise, statutes and ordinances are not crimes and therefore should be not be recorded by the public or LE, period.

There was a time when, if a person was not found guilty, the record vanished automatically.
