Timberlane, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record takes place whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly remain on the person's state criminal record until a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a particular period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial commitments owed to the court have been completely pleased. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, the majority of municipal & district courts will typically give motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally mention on future job applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

Under RCW 9.96.060, an individual is limited to only one vacation of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex crimes can not be vacated.

Nonconviction information (authorities arrest records, jail booking records, fingerprints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) occur whenever an individual is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction information are held by Washington State police for many years. Local arresting authorities agencies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction information.

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

Nonconviction information, like criminal conviction records, can also be used by property managers to deny rental housing/ apartment or condos and by companies to deny job applications, job promotions, and so on.
