What is the current point of expungements?

Point of Expungement

Introduction:

There is a current dilemma about if past criminals should be allowed into departments and POST. And people believe that a user can’t have a new life. Which brings the question of whats the purpose of Expungements and how does it benefit the user.

From a purely legal perspective (and not a political one that I can’t dive into), REs serve mainly for two purposes: 1) contest false arrests and citations without the trouble of a full blown lawsuit. 2) remove old records in an attempt at a new life. Obviously the latter is the latest debate in both the general community and the legal one. Unfortunately, the Constitution mandates all judicial proceedings be public knowledge, so we can’t actually “seal” records. It’s up to the legislature and executive to solve the issue at hand.

People can start new lives. Look at Markehabashi or Tor_Laws.

Our biggest problem now is the courts have gotten lazy. They aren’t even attempting the expungements we have now.
