i am on deferred adjudication probation which means if I don't get into trouble it goes off my record. I am having a hard time believing that they just throw the paperwork in the trash. Who does and who doesnt get to know about that part of my life?
Answers:
Your original ARREST will still be on record, as will your fingerprints. At the end of your probation, your case will be dismissed so you will have no CONVICTIONS. If anyone asks, you will have to tell them and explain the difference. I know some states allow you to get a record of convictions expunged after a few years, but I don't think you can ever expunge an arrest record. If you are a juvenile then your record will probably be sealed anyway, only a court order can unseal it.
It is a matter of public record!
Usually it means that you have not been convicted and should not be on your record, though the arrest will be. It won't be for the purposes of a check, except to police!
I imagine those records where a not-guilty or no finding issued would be kept according to the courts policy! Some records are put into storage and others are shredded! Depends entirely on your court system, or the law!
Some courts, for major charges, keep them forever!
There will be no record of a conviction and when you fill out a job application asking about convictions you can legally say no!
