Expungement

[Mazda62005]

If you have something expunged off your record like a traffic citation or arrest, would you still have to include on a Police Background Application?

[RoadKingTrooper]

LOL, you show you are a paralegal. Did you receive any classes that covered say.......................Ethics?

[Mazda62005]

haha no all about disclosing but technically by law you dont have to..right?

[the1fromgeorgia]

I think that you were looking to apply to APD if so per the application questionaire even if it was expunged you were still arrested.

6.
Have you EVER been physically arrested or given a copy of charges for
violation of any city, municipal, state, or federal law?
7.
Have you EVER appeared in any court (including juvenile) as a defendant to
answer any city, municipal, state, or federal criminal charge? If so, give the
court in which you appeared and the disposition of the case (i.e. conviction,
First Offenders, charges dismissed, etc).
8.
Have you EVER been detained by any law enforcement representative, been
the subject of any criminal investigation, or been named as the accused on a
warrant? If “yes”, explain in detail.

Sounds like you would be better off as a Lawyer where you can split hairs and argue subtle distinctions

[oneoldcop]

it all depends on what "it" is...

[Mazda62005]

no guys i'm about disclosing everything, i was arrested years back for driving with an expired license that i forgot to renew,court threw it out once i showed them i had renewed my license.. i've applied with agencies in the past and disclosed this info to them so plz don't start the speculation.. I was just asking a question to the forum on how expunges are viewed..

YES

[handcuffs]

no you dont have to report it and they can not find any record of it

[HydroATL]

Yes. Well I disclosed my traffic citation that the judge threw out! Damn Semi-drivers/ I-285.

[the1fromgeorgia]

Most applications ask if you have been arrested or detained. So even if it was thrown out, expunged, dropped etc you would still have to disclose the FACT that you were arrested.
