    Default Police Could See an Expunged Record

    I did have msidemeanor class three: Employee theft which was expunged but in 2005, I was stopped for a license plate and when the Police ran my record he came back and told me about it.
    Would it be that my case was never expunged for any reason even when court documents say so?

    I went to apply for a job a month after, and he told me, it is still there though expunged. Do I need to find out and if yes how do I do it?

    Otherwise, I did put it on an accident questioning and I do not know if I should mention it every time I go to get a job.

    Have not been lucky reporting that on applications and in the end I have not been accepted for work.

    Anyone has any ideas???

    Even though your record was expunged law enforcement still has access to all those records, especially if you are applying to a law enforcement position. Different people tell you different about the expungement " have I been convicted of a crime" question so I can't give you the right answer. However the best thing to do is to tell the truth. Which is better than your job finding about it 10 years into your career and then you being terminated for lieing on your application.

    Laws, and the effects of expungement, vary by state.

    Even in cases where your record might even be deleted from typical state or national databases, law enforcement agencies also maintain their own inhouse systems (particularly at the city and county level) - so even if using the NCIC system didn't reveal the criminal history, an in-house system could still easily do so - even after expungement.
