Interesting. Just to make sure I understand. I can say what I will about anyone via webpage but not be held accountable if it has a negative impact on the person I'm saying it about?
Generally, not it it's TRUE, no. If you're talking about an official custodian of a record that has been expunged continuing to display that information, that's one thing. If you're talking about a private individual, or a third party showing information that is already in the public domain, generally not. (For example, you can't unpublish a newspaper that carried a story or even just a blurb or notation that you were arrested for XYZ - nor against anyone who reprints that record). As Mr. K noted, you can sue for an order to remove info, particularly DPS and third party agencies that provide such information for sale or subscription, but if that information was EVER public information, such as BEFORE the expungement, you're not going to see an award for damages.
