Cowley, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A rap sheet happens whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally always remain on the person's state criminal record till a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the very same court after a particular period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial responsibilities owed to the court have actually been fully satisfied. And there should not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are met, many community & district courts will generally give motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a criminal record for that particular conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated may legally mention on future task applications that he/she has never had a criminal record.

Under RCW 9.96.060, a person is limited to only one getaway of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and certain misdemeanor sex criminal activities can not be vacated.

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, fingerprints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed however no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for several years. Local arresting cops companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, individuals may make written requests to expunge/delete such cops nonconviction data. These requests should be made to both the regional arresting cops company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such requests will generally be granted if there have actually been no charges within 2 years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have actually passed given that the date of the old arrest 

The site for the Washington State Criminal History Section is http://www.wsp.wa.gov/crime/crimhist.htm.
