Can I have my sale of crack cocaine charge sealed?

Answered by attorney Dennis Julian Roberts (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Dennis Roberts A Professional Corporation
PC 1203.4 is what you use to get an expungement. Google CA Penal Code.If you were on formal probation your old P.O. can do it for you free But the problem with the expungement statute is that it doesn't seal the record. The record remains and under the conviction on your record it shows 1203.4 relief granted. It is now a misdemeanor for prospective employers to get your record (the used to pay a cop $50) but now they got smart. They make you sign a waiver letting them get your record. They they will see the above.

What is a federal background check?

Randy M Lish
Answered by attorney Randy M Lish (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Randy M. Lish, Attorney at Law
A lot of employers will run a background check to see if a potential employee has a criminal record anywhere in the U.S. This means checking with the federal government, and often each state where the potential employee has resided.

Can the police take me to jail without reading me my rights?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
The short answer is yes. Miranda probably does not apply in your situation. However, I suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
