    Default Purged Misdemeanor on My Criminal Record

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: California
    I'm not asking for legal advice here... but has anyone ever experienced this????

    I have two theft misdemeanors on my record from 2002 that I petitioned the court for to have them expunged only 3 weeks ago..........(so they are in the process) when it occurred to me....

    I should contact the court and find out how I get certified documents and the police reports on these two misdemeanors, so that I will have it in my files in the future when I need to provide it to the Board of Nurses.

    When BAM... the lady tells me I should also (in writing)request a letter about my purged misdemeanor from 1994... I said WHAT???????

    Apparently I had a misdemeanor because I was driving without insurance when a teenager crashed into my car, I wasn't at fault, .... This is true... I didn't get a ticket, I didn't have to pay a fine, I didn't go to court, but I did pay the DMV $50.00 to drive to and from work for a restricted license for one year.

    I swear....... I never understood I had a misdemeanor. Anyway.... when I petitioned to court to expunge my 2 misdemeanors of theft I had no idea about the third one... it didn't show up on FBI or DOJ background check.... I guess because it was purged.

    Why is it purged???? What does purged mean legally? Can I still petition for it to be expunged, even though it has been purged?? I know it is a good thing for employment, but can the BON see it? I'm concerned about getting a license to practice nursing and if the board sees purged misdemeanors.... Is a letter enough... I didn't expect this.

    Has anyone else had this experience. Do I just provide the letter??? Do I need a letter.

    I will contact a lawyer when the time comes... but any knowledge of this from someone will help my crazy anxiety.


    OK...

    Odds are they're referring to purging under Government Code Sec. 68152(e).
