我符合消除犯罪記錄的資格嗎? Am I Eligible to Expunge My Criminal Record?

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

我是否有資格消除犯罪記錄 (expunge)?這是一個非常常見的問題,答案取決於幾個重要的因素。

在新澤西州,消除犯罪記錄是一項法律程序,可讓您將某些犯罪記錄從公眾視野中移除。這包括逮捕記錄 (arrests)、指控記錄 (charges),甚至定罪記錄 (convictions),只要您符合特定的資格要求。

首先,我們來談談那些沒有導致定罪的逮捕記錄。如果您被逮捕,但指控被撤銷 (dismissed)、降級 (downgraded) 或您被判無罪 (not guilty),您可能有資格申請消除該記錄。在很多情況下,您可以立即申請消除記錄,具體取決於案件的最終處理結果。

如果您曾被判有罪,是否符合資格消除犯罪記錄則取決於犯罪類型和犯罪記錄的數量。例如,許多擾亂治安罪(Disorderly Persons Offenses,簡稱 DPs)的罪行,類似於其他州的輕罪 (misdemeanors) 在經過一段等待期後,可能符合消除犯罪記錄的條件。

可起訴罪行 (Indictable offenses) 也稱為重罪 (felonies) 也可以被撤銷記錄,但對犯罪記錄的數量和罪行的嚴重程度都有一定的限制。根據新澤西州的法律,某些罪行,例如非常嚴重的暴力犯罪,不符合撤銷記錄的條件。

等待期是另一個重要因素。根據您的犯罪記錄,您可能需要在服刑完畢,包括緩刑 (probation) 或假釋期 (parole) 後等待幾年才能申請。在某些情況下,您可以提前申請消除犯罪記錄,從而更快地獲得申請資格。

法院會考慮您所有的犯罪記錄,而不僅僅是某一項指控。這意味著法院在決定您是否符合資格時,會先查看您記錄中被逮捕和定罪的總次數。

消除犯罪記錄可以帶來巨大的改變。一旦犯罪記錄被消除,它通常不會再出現於背景調查中,而且在被問及是否曾被逮捕或定罪時,您可以合法的回答“否”,但也有一些例外情況。

如果您不確定自己是否符合資格 ,請務必諮詢法律專業人士,他們可以審查您的記錄並解釋您有什麼選擇。每個人的情況都不同,有些小細節都可能會影響您的核准資格。

如果您認為自己可能符合消除犯罪記錄的條件,或對相關的流程有些疑問,可以尋求法律協助。您不必獨自面對這個問題。
