Assuming it was an adult conviction and you were actually convicted, you can only get an expungement after you are 70 years old and have not had a conviction in the past 10 years or have been dead for 3 years.

No.... even if you get it expunged.. you would have to report it on your application.  And if you lie and put no, they will eventually find out and you will get bounced and maybe charged criminally.

Convicted felons are generally prohibited from possessing a firearm under both federal and many state laws.  That would tend to sink your ship right there, as law enforcement officers usually are armed.\n\nI'd agree with the other poster so far in that I can't imagine a law enforcement agency hiring a felon.  The felony conviction is something that would almost certainly have to be disclosed to the defense, and the credibility of the officer would effectively be shot.\n\nAs for being a lawyer: who knows?  Those guys get away with some of the most outrageous stuff I've ever seen (the DA in my county has been convicted of tax evasion and was sentenced to some period of time in jail...but he's still the DA and the liberal folks in this county seem to love him).  Go figure.\n\nGood luck with your quest...I hope you can find something that will make you happy and serve society well.\n\n1/29/06: Expungement is certainly something worth checking into, but don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you won't have to disclose your conviction to a law enforcement agency during the background process.  Laws probably vary by state, but I'd bet you have to disclose even an expunged conviction to a law enforcement agency you're applying to.

Laws are different from state to state but expunging your record is a good idea.  But in many (most?) states just expunding it doesn't necessarily take the charge/arrest of your record.  It gives you the right to say to employers that you do not have the mis/felony but sometimes it will show up on backgournd checks but it will show that it was expunged.  But it still shows "what" was expunged.  It's complicated so you may want to talk to a lawyer and ask what kind of background checks your employer does.

Not for sure about Florida, but I believe it takes five years for a misdemeanor to be able to be expunged. If the battery was domestic violence, then I don't know.

I'm not sure if Florida does have this process, but I don't believe so.  A felony record is usually there for life, sorry.  In order to have a record expunged you have to have some sort of exigent circumstances and it's not easy.

An expunged felony will not be on the public record that any employer can see if doing a work related background check.\n\nIt will remain in the national data base and can be viewed by police officers and anyone doing a national security clearnace on you.\n\nThe report that they can see will even show every arrest even if not indicted or convicted.

Hello:\n\nFirst, you'll have to find out if your state offers expungment, and then you'll have to find out if you fit the criteria.  If you do, you'll have to file a motion, most likely in the county where the conviction occurred.  You'll increase your chances of success tenfold if you hire a lawyer.\n\nAn expunged record will still show up for the cops and the courts, but it theoretically is hidden from the public.  \n\nA pardon, on the other hand, does erase it entirely.\n\nexcon

Expunged: Go to a Lawyer and ask him if you qualify. Some offences you can not have it done.

Here in Texas your record is erased when you turn 18,if you were arrested as a minor.A family member had a felony at 14 years old but was expunged at 18.\nIf you look for a goverment related job,is's going to show up on your record though !

Hire a lawyer.\n\nIf your only issue is having your record expunged, you might contact the court that has jurisdiction and talk to the court clerk or district attorney's clerk.\n\nThey cannot give you legal advice, but they may help point you in the right direction.\n\nA petition is little more than a letter to the court making a request. But it must meet the requirements set by statute & the court regarding content.\n\nYou really should talk to a lawyer before you proceed since rules vary not only by state, but by court.

getting expunged if TOUGH. i have one felony from 20 yrs ago that i have tried twice just to get pardoned for and the state is making it imposible almost. and they only let you try again after 18 mo. so it takes years complete.\nexpunged is where YOU prove that you were not guilty. and it gets erased from your record\npardoned is where you get... "excused" from your crime and you get all your rights back. but its still on your record\ndepending on the state and what the rules are. contact the capitol and they will tell you/send info on what you need to do and supply them for proceedings to start in either case.\ngood luck. both are hard roads\none easier than the other.\nbut, you like me.... made stupid decisions before and this is the price you pay.

The Governor from your State has to grant it for you. I have known of narcs getting that done to clear their records in my State. My City has a prosecutor that is a Republican felon. He was able to get the Governor to pardon him somehow, it was snitching everybody says.

YOU CANT EXPUNGE CONVICTIONS.  Anyone who told you otherwise is mistaken.  Also you cannot get any bonded employment with a theft conviction. your employer will tell you that you falsified your job application when you didn't put this down.  grounds for dismissal and no unemployment.

expunging a record is for someone who only has done ONE THING WRONG in a 7 year window. if you have 2 misdemeanors or 1 misdemeanor and 1 felony your stuck.

A "Live Scan" will produce any misdemeanor or felony convictions.  Department of Justice runs them at the request of an employer or self for a fee, sheriffs office can do it too for a fee. Live Scans require he go in and give up a set of finger prints.   \n\nI don't know if your Attorney can get one done on him. If he is young then it could be his record is all juvenile.  Might not be sealed. Go down to the County Hall of Records.  A lot of work!\n\nPS:  When you get your record expunged the information remains on your record if you were an adult.  You have to still admit you were arrested for the crime. Because you had it expunged you are now allowed to say it was "dismissed."  That's all.
