Vashon, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A rap sheet occurs whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will usually constantly remain on the person's state rap sheet till a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a particular period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial commitments owed to the court have been totally pleased. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are met, the majority of municipal & district courts will usually approve motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally specify 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 vacation of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and particular misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.

Nonconviction information (cops arrest records, jail booking records, finger prints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) happen whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction information are held by Washington State police for many years. Regional arresting cops companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction information.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons might make written demands to expunge/delete such cops nonconviction information. These demands should be made to both the local arresting cops agency and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such demands will usually be approved if there have been no charges within 2 years of the nonconviction information looked for to be deleted, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest
