No. Felonies can be expunged if you were a minor at the time (but not automatically) or if you are pardoned, regardless of your age. People who are 70 and have been free from arrest or prosecution for 10 years are eligible to have their records expunged as well, as are people who have been dead for 3 years, unless they committed certain crimes.

Check the standards for your local law enforcement agencies where you intend to apply.  The charge sounds like a reduced charge with plea of guilty.  Law enforcement agencies normally consider your actual conduct during the crime and not the court resolution since they are evaluating you on your character and fitness to be a police officer and carry a firearm.  If the charge was in the  last 7 to 10 years or involved dishonesty or perjury chances are you will not be hired.  A police officer is expected to spend much time testifying under oath, and obviously if they can show you lied under oath in the past, your ability to be a law enforcement officer is impeached.  Sorry but most other public jobs are available providing no felony or misuse of funds.

It appears that in Wisconsin, expungements are limited to certain offenses for offenders under the age of 17 or 21, depending on the conviction.  If you carried out a sentence, and it was not dismissed, then it does not look like you can remove that from your record.  I've included a link to a brochure that summarizes Wisconsin law and gives contact information for their Department of Justice.  Contact them to verify that there are no alternative measures you can take.

There would definitely be a statute of limitations for a misdemeanor charge.  Here is a link to Pennsylvania's Code to find details:

I think a felony record is permanent.  I don't know about all employers,  but I work for the state of Arkansas and I think that if the incident happened at least 10 years,  you are considered for employment.    Sometimes one can get his record sealed so that it won't show up when a back ground is checked.  This is about all I know,  so I wish you good luck in what ever you do.  Sincerely,    David

it depend on your county or state, but you need to fill out paperwork. go to the court house of the county you got the record from and follow their procedures.  I did it for my ex-husband in Broward county Florida, and it works, don't be afraid to ask questions.  Also don't do anything stupid to get another conviction.  If you stay out of trouble this will help expunge the first one.

There's no way anyone here can give you a reliable answer based on the question you've asked.  To come up with a meaningful answer, people need to know why the person is on probation, how they have done on probation, what the person's past criminal history has been, what the nine felony counts are, the strength of the prosecution's case and the strength of any possible defenses, and probably a whole lot more.\n\nI'm not especially encouraged, however, just by the fact that this person is already on probation and they've gone off and committed more crimes.  Prison seems likely, but there's no way you're going to get anything more than plain old speculation based on the question you've asked.

You would need the elderly member to report it to the local police department for where that person was living. The elderly member is the one that would need to file the report unless there is a power of attorney. Any kind of statements or documents that could help prove the case would need to be taken to the police too (copies should be good enough but you will want to verify that with the police).

How old are you know?\nUnderage convictions do have some records protection.

If it is a juvenile conviction, there are quite a few options. They are laid out in the first site below. If it is an adult conviction, only certain felonies can be expunged and only after 3 years. The exact details are in the second site.

Hi Robert,\n\n    I have a criminal record also here in Ohio. Ultimately, it will depend on your offense.  If you can give a little more information, it might help.  Ultimately, if the offense is a "crime of dishonesty", then it cannot be expunged.\n\nChris

I've never been convicted of a felony, but I was charged with a few misdemeanors when I was 20.  (Back when I was young and stupid in college.)  I could have had them wiped out afterwards but I didn't have it done.  You have to petition the court to get it cleared.  I would just call a law office and ask or call the courthouse and ask.  They should be able to get you your answer and the proper way to do it.  Personally, I'd would just own it.  Everyone makes mistakes, I've never been questioned about my juvenile record and I think if you have it sealed, it will just raise doubt and questions about your past.  Be honest and straight with people, and they will return the favor when it comes time to hire.

you need to stay out of trouble for a long time before any states governor will pardon you for your crimes. and either you're a felon or not. if you are a felon with previous misdemeanors you aren't getting a pardon until your old

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-02-28-elderly-inmates_x.htm\n\nMaybe this website will help with your question.  \n\nForty-two inmates are 80 or older. The state's oldest death row inmate is 76 and was condemned for two killings committed 17 years ago. Florida's oldest inmate is Daniel Sallade, a 90-year-old serving a 23-year sentence for sex crimes against a child. He was sent to prison just three years ago.

You should contact a PA attorney or a legal services organization.  Look at the sites I listed in the source area.\n\n"Most people think someone less than 18 can just go to court and get emancipated. But in Pennsylvania, emancipation is not a right, and there are no clear procedures to get a declaration of emancipation from a court. However, rarely is such a declaration necessary for a minor to achieve his or her goal. \n\nCertain actions automatically result in a minor becoming emancipated--these include marriage or entry into the military. However, a minor usually wants to be declared emancipated to get a specific benefit or service. Government agencies usually have the authority to decide if a minor is emancipated, to authorize the benefit or service they administer. Therefore, it is usually not necessary for a minor to go to court to be declared emancipated."
