As with the brochure, "A guide on When and How to challenge, Seal, vacate or expunge" in regards to criminal court records. "There is currently no statute that would allow for destruction of a court record from a proceeding involving a criminal action against an adult." - State of Washington, June 2008
This means that a person who is charged with a crime, yet is found not guilty will have that charge on his record and will negatively affect employment, rental and educational opportunities in the State of Washington and the United States of America.
Judges are not allowing citizens that have been accused of a crime, yet found not guilty, to have their records destroyed or expunged. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
We, the undersigned, call upon the courts of the State of Washington to destroy all records maintained by the courts and all law enforcement of a charged individual in the State, County and City, if the disposition of the charge is dismissed or the individual is found not guilty by a judge or by a jury.
