My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: Georgia
I received a speeding ticket in Oct 2006 (city of Sandy Springs) and paid my ticket before the deadline. In April of 2007, I was pulled over by for a taillight being out and the police ran my license and arrested me due to it being suspended (City of Roswell Police). So I was put in the holding cell overnight and parents had to bail me out in the morning. My mugshots and fingerprints were also taken. I go back to the court where my speeding ticket was issued and explain my situation and they told me it was a clerical error and they accidentally suspended my license. Now I made sure I got my bail money and towing money back and the lady said the arrest would be taken off my record.
Now 5 years later, I go for a citizenship test and they ask me if I had any arrest records...I obviously tell them no. Now they find this record and tell me it is still on my record and it was never removed and put my application on hold because I "lied" according to them. So I call Sandy Springs court and now the lady tells me the person who was supposed to follow through with Roswell Court never did and the arrest was still on my record. So currently I am working with Roswell court to get my record expunged.
My questions, is there any legal action I can take against the city? the court? They managed to make 2 big mistakes which put me in jail for a night and potentially cost me my citizenship. Obviously someone should be held responsible for such big mistakes, but they rarely do...anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks.
