Stuart, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet takes place whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will generally constantly remain on the individual's state rap sheet up until a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the very same court after a certain time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial responsibilities owed to the court have been completely pleased. 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 fulfilled, most municipal & district courts will generally approve motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, fingerprints/ photos (mugshots) records, etc) occur whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for many years. Regional detaining cops agencies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both retain nonconviction data.

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

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