WISCONSIN ARREST RECORD REMOVAL:
There are many reasons why a person living in Wisconsin would
want to get their arrest record information removed. Arrest and
conviction records can prevent people from obtaining a job,
renting an apartment, getting credit, voting, getting certain
licenses, student loans, and many other important things. With
the rise of the internet, it is becoming more common and easier
to access people's criminal history. Although the Wisconsin
Statutes provide rules for expungement for certain persons
(limited by age of defendant), and under certain conditions, it
can often be difficult or impossible to remove certain records
relating to an arrest or convcition. For information on
expungement see Wis. Stat. 973.015 and Wis. Stat. 938.355 and
other related Wisconsin Statutes. For information regarding criminal records including arrest records and fingerprints, see generally Wis. Stat. 165.83 and Wis. Stat. 165.84. According to the Wisconsin Department of Justice website, "Wisconsin law allows removal of information on the arrest fingerprint card when the person arrested is subsequently released without charge or cleared of the offense through court proceedings." Of note is that although Wisconsin has an expungment statute, there is no requirement that prosecutors or law enforcement agencies destroy records relating to the expunged conviction. Courts may also consider the facts from an expunged conviction in sentencing in another case. Attorney Griessmeyer recently helped out a young woman to remove her conviction from CCAP. This allowed her to pursue her job as a nurse without running into problems from the past conviction. |
