Sealing and expungment.
They almost caught me several times as I have been to several stings but I always remember that what ever I can do in a stripclub that's legal, I try to make the lady do when visiting her- in other words, if she is JSO, she wouldn't get into lingerie, or in anything skimpy. I also may say dance in underwear or bikini or something- again, something they don't want to do if they aren't legit. Anyway, my friend is a very nice guy- you wouldn't even think he's an attorney because his demeanor is so cool.
Here is one issue you might run into though- if you never did anything about your issue before then you probably never even got it sealed yet. In Fla, you must seal the record for 10 years 1st and stay out of trouble during that time. Then you can petition the court to expunge the record- BUT it must be sealed 1st for this period. There seemed to have been a time the legislatures only allowed the record to be sealed but now as I said you can expunge it which is a good thing. Sealing is alright to a degree but you don't want to stop there- why? Because that record stays intact and JSO, the courts, and FDLE has that intact record.
Expungement is much better because the record is physically destroyed and the only agency that has a "limited" record of it is FDLE. When I say limited it means they only have a record saying: "Record expunged." But they no longer have the entire arrest record which is good.
Now another problem that many people don't realize is that whenever you have a record sealed, it means if someone looked into the court's database, they won't be able to find the record; however, the problem is that whenever you got arrested, several months after that, the courts sold your arrest info to many of these background check companies- so when employers or whoever wants to know if you have a record, they will check with one of these companies. The best way to deal with this is to contact a law firm that helps you to clear your record with these 3rd party background check companies- I need to find this info for this particular law firm for you. They charge about 250 but it clears over, I believe. 500 databases esp the large ones- the large ones feed info to the smaller 3rd party background companies. Sorry for all the info- but it is imperative that you jump on this ASAP! Don't delay. The process will take about 6-9 months for sealing.
Hopefully they didn't adjudicate you guilty because if they did, the attorney has to get a withheld of adjudication 1st then petition the courts to have the record sealed. But note- please stay out of trouble!
