well where do you live, what sort of felonies, and how many.
If you live in a area that allows it, you ask the court to explunge your record. They normally look at it 7 to 10 years after your crime or sentence, and want to see no other criminal activity and that you have held steady jobs maybe more education.
Now this takes them off of the public view of the police (NCIC) report, but the police, courts and national security agenices will still see them. Also since many things are filed on computer banks in private companies, and many places do private searches, these often are never erased
Anthony, I realize you are new here, and I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is what comes with responsibility. We are responsible for our actions. If you committed a crime, you suffer the punishment.
I know people will disagree with me here and give me reddies, but if you deserved the felony, you have to live with that.
We all make choices in our lives, we all have to live with them. Some choices good, others bad. But we can't just expect to have our bad choices erased.
Hello Excon, I won't go into sob stories or details, but sometimes people get caught in webs and are where they shouldn't be. My son signed a confession without an attorney present, and when he finally got an attorney, he made a deal with the district attorny and plea bargained to lesser charges...felonies still. That was 4 years ago. He served 2 days in jail, also. Now, he can't get a job, and he has tried everywhere. He's a good young man. The whole incident was sad and the police were after metrics, if you know what I mean. Could you tell me mor about this law that allows you to remove a felony from your record? Thanks! Lynifyni
isn't it a blessing that we have some sanctimonious characters about, telling us how we should live? Were it not for people like J_9, I would never have realized that I should regret an action. Thank god I have never had one of my questions answered (and this IS an answer forum) by some unhelpful, preachy pedagogue saying "sweetie, i'm sorry but you're just a bad bad man and you have to live with that." good grief...
Kings, I am sorry you feel the way you do about my answer. But in all honesty, it is the truth. We should raise our children to believe in consequences to their actions.
Expungments and pardons are all possible, but as Excon said, they all take a lawyer and many times exorbitant fees. Depending on the felony in question, an expungement or pardon may be impossible.
You see, we don't have enough info to go on here. More info is necessary for the best answer possible.
