    Exclamation Shoplifting in Pennsylvania, 22 Years Old

    I am 22 and live in Pennsylvania. I shoplifted about 30 dollars worth of stuff from a local store. I was caught and taken to the local police station. They did their thing and then let me go with a citation. This happened in August of 2009. I paid the fine and plead guilty. I haven't heard of anything else that i needed to since then. I am sure it's on my record and I want to know how to get it off. I was told about expungement, but I don't know how to go about it. I really need to get it off of my record for when I need to find a job!

    4. Who is eligible for an expungement?

    Persons convicted of a crime may have records expunged in the following cases:

    (1) An individual who is the subject of the information reaches 70 years of age and has been free of arrest or prosecution for ten years following final release from confinement or supervision; or

    (2) An individual who is the subject of the information has been dead for three years.

    (3) A person the subject of an information for a summary offense has been free of arrest or conviction for five years following conviction for that offense.

    (4) no disposition has been received or, upon request for criminal history record information, no disposition has been recorded in the repository within 18 months after the date of arrest and the court of
    proper jurisdiction certifies to the director of the repository that no disposition is available and no action is pending. Expungement shall not occur until the certification from the court is received and the director of the repository authorizes such expungement;

    (5) a court order requires that such nonconviction data be expunged; or

    (6) a person 21 years of age or older who has been convicted of a violation of section 6308 (relating to purchase, consumption, possession or transportation of liquor or malt or brewed beverages) petitions the court of common pleas in the county where the conviction occurred seeking expungement and the person has satisfied all terms and conditions of the sentence imposed for the violation, including any suspension of operating privileges imposed pursuant to section 6310.4 (relating to restriction of
    operating privileges). Upon review of the petition, the court shall order the expungement of all criminal history record information and all administrative records of the Department of Transportation relating to said conviction

    Expungement
    In Pennsylvania, under some circumstances, you may be able to have a criminal record expunged, which means that information is removed from your record.

    You may be eligible for expungement if:

    •You are at least 70 years old and have not been arrested for 10 years following release from prison or supervision, or
    •You are seeking to expunge juvenile records and sufficient time has passed since discharge.
    In addition, a person's records may be expunged if that person has been dead for three years. If a defendant was placed on Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD), an alternative sentencing program in Pennsylvania, for an offense involving sexual abuse of a minor, expungement is unavailable.

    If you are eligible to have your records expunged, you may petition the court for an order of expungement. Arrest records are automatically expunged after successful completion of ARD requirements. Also, the court will order expungement when charges are dismissed.

    From what I found (posted above) it look like you have a very long time before expungement is possible
