My 14 year old was questioned by police at school as another student claimed she bullied her. The investigation found no evidence & no charges were filed. I've been denied formally to see the police record. Her name is in the police computer although she was falsely accused. Can her name be expunged from the police file? How?

Why would the accused have no rights? The accuser wins by making a false police report and my kid ends up in police report as the "bully"!

Hello M:

You and/or the accused have PLENTY of rights... Just not the rights you THINK you should have. The accused didn't lose anything. There's a notation in a file. It means NOTHING in terms of the future. If it meant something negative, I'd be the first one here to tell you what to do.

You can not explunge merely records of contacts, a lot of contact officers do index cards or incident cards on things, I took names of 1000's of teens and pre teens who were warned about skate boarding at a library over the years

The issue is this is not a "police record" no conviction, no charges, nothing shows up on a NCIC report. IT is merely a record that this person ( child) was spoken to or investigated.

Those records always exist on any investigation. And can not be explunged

You explunge conviction records that show up on a background record check
