Records of criminal activity

CLara has said that she has had her DUI's either expunged or reduced to a lesser charge.

CLara said>>"I am sure that someone here has checked for a record, and I don't have one. It's called expungement, reduction of charges, blah, blah, blah... and the ability to have the best attorney in town for my situation. The last time I checked for a record of that kind was when I changed insurance policies when we came to Texas."

In addition, becket has claimed that criminal records can be expunged.

judge becket said>>"Records of criminal activity can indeed be expunged. For money, any record of births, deaths, marriages, divorce, DUIs, etc. can be removed from an individual's record. Civil and criminal records can be and are manipulated in this country.

Reduced charges to DUI offenses are a state by state question, just as expunging criminal records is (assuming state criminality).

I am curious as to becket's statement about expunging records. It seems to me that what becket is saying is that anybody who has the proper amount of money, can make any legal records disappear.

In other words, judge becket is referring to a bribe.

CLar would have us believe that her record of arrests have been reduced, or expunged. Any word of CLar's is suspect. CLar has lived in KS, DC, SC, and TX that I know of, and she has also met the President?

My state of residence, Kansas, just recently passed a law that allows for expungement of a DUI offense, but only after a 10 year period. Of course, any DUI's during that 10 year period would eliminate the expungement opportunity.

So becket, If I want to get my DUI removed, who should I talk to and pay?

And CLar, what state(s) were you able to get your DUI convictions expunged in? And how much of a bribe did you pay?

that since the Bushes are one of the most powerfull, connected, and wealthy families in the US, they would have been able to do this before W's DUI record became well known. George senior was in charge of the entire CIA at the time.

IIRC Cheney has 3 DUIs.

Maybe it just didn't matter to them. I think it was pretty common knowlege at the time it happened as was quite a player. Besides, if it dropped off your record after ten years, by the time he was a political player, it would have been gone. Again, I think it was just that people knew about it.

Maybe if the information were released in a timely way it would make the average American voter more sympathetic/empathetic toward this spoiled, elitist asshole. These things are not done for no reason or accidentally. Someone in Bush's camp stood to gain from the revelation.

I never paid any bribes, and I have already told you how it was done. But I agree with you. With the changes over the past five years in every one of those states, there would be different outcomes today, except perhaps on the one that was thrown out on appeal due to faulty arrest. The officer stipulated to not seeing me drive, which was critical to dui arrests then.

PS: It was three presidents. Clinton, who looks better in his photographs, Bush, who looks just the same as his photographs, and Obama, who wears a strange aftershave.

But I find this interesting. I am often called a narcissist on this board or an attention seeker. What I find questionable are the people that insist on giving me the attention. Didn't you just say the other day that you don't read my posts, F?

A DUI record can be "expunged" from a State Database in some circumstances, meaning that the general public can not look it up, but it is still there and law enforcement can look it up. The expunging of a DUI record, if it can be done in the various States that it occurs in, deals only with the actual court case and just removes it from public view, it is still there.

The actual court case is one way to find out if there is a previous DUI and the court case being expunged does not remove the other instances of the occurrence. Sealed court cases do not seal the arrest record which can often be looked up on line. Newspaper articles that report the arrest are a completely different entity and not under the jurisdiction of the court and the court is actually prevented from trying to "seal" an arrest listed in a newspaper because of the freedom of the press clauses. The other thing that can not be sealed in the arrest is the NCIC Federal FBI database which gets a copy of the arrest and the fingerprints of the person arrested. Expunging DUI records is a State, not Federal action and the individual State judges that allow a record to be "sealed" have no Federal jurisdiction to force them to remove it. Also just recently, these records are also noted in the Federal Terrorist watch databases which also can never be removed at any cost.

Given that Clara claims to have a masters degree in Criminal Justice, her claims do not add up and one or both of these claims are false. Her record is still out there and can be found.

Clara's picture

I don't really care if you believe that I got a masters degree eons ago or that I never used it. I did check the NCIC when in SC and nothing came up. I have openly admitted my behaviors as a drunk driver, and if there are intricate ways to find the record, that's fine, too. My arrests were never in the paper(many are not due to the sheer volume and the choice of the paper) nor were the dispositions recorded there. In any case, it doesn't impact my life, so there you go.

JR Harris's picture

The NCIC database is not available to the general public, and like a credit report, every time it is accessed it puts a black mark against you. Your lawyer can not access the NCIC database and the only way they can get a copy of the report is through the "discovery" phase of a case going to trial. Your NCIC report can be gotten if you request it to be released in a background check and you often, if not always have to go to a police station and give your finger prints to allow the release.

I would not suggest trying to have anyone access your file on the NCIC database, it is very unwise and not as easy as you claim.

Interesting that you say no, but then suggest ways where it could be done. How do you know that I didn't do it that way?

I had a ticket come up that I challenged in court, and my attorney was able to access my NCIC. My previous behavior was not noted. So who knows better? Him or you? Are you suggesting that persons in the DA's Office wouldn't have access to it, either? What if you knew people with the FBI?

Yeah, I guess you are right, JR. Where are we now in the game of "gotcha"?

that you go around calling everyone else a criminal and you're the one with the record. (You got caught, arrested, charged, appeared in court and pleaded guilty - on more than one occasion) The court records are there for anyone to view.

Criminal behavior is criminal behavior, Conan, and you should know that. It is semantics to argue that one is worse than the other because they were caught. Both are actually guilty. One is simply waiting to happen. I have always been upfront about my behavior and where acoholism led me.

I agree, Conan.

I don't ever deny engaging in certain criminal activities. The only person besides me that ever mentions that is Clara. I think it is very funny because she likes to compare my substance use and abuse to her DUIs. Yes, multiple, with an "S" lol. According to her I am risking peoples lives the same way as she did, because I am funding the cartels. That made me actually give a real-time chuckle, that one did.

We already know her brand of "rigorous honesty" is pretty loony.

Clara's picture

Yes, multiples and I said that the first week I was on the forum. I never said you personally funded the cartels, but absolutely anyone that contributes to the drug biz contributes to the problem. Why try to dismiss it? The last time we talked about it, you dismissed it as your drugs of choice came supposedly came from other countries or local sources. I thought that was pretty lame. The difference is that I've stopped while you still do anything you can find and are gleeful about it. You have travelled much further than I had at your age, and there is time for a major screw up. While you may laugh at my foibles, your suicide blog certainly concerned me. As often as we may spar, that isn't the answer for anything.

You kow, Penny, I never gave it a second thought until I moved down here.

They intermingle with legitimate business, and many American companies own factories over the border.

There's trouble on the streets tonight,
I can feel it in my bones.
I had a premonition,
That he should not go alone.
I knew the gun was loaded,
But I didn't think he'd kill.
Everything exploded,
And the blood began to spill.
So baby, here's your ticket,
Put the suitcase in your hand.
Here's a little money now,
Do it just the way we planned.
You be cool for twenty hours
And I'll pay you twenty grand.
I'm sorry it went down like this,
And someone had to lose,
It's the nature of the business,
It's the smuggler's blues.
Smuggler's Blues
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/glenn_frey/smugglers_blues.html ]
The sailors and pilots,
The soldiers and the law,
The pay offs and the rip offs,
And the things nobody saw.
No matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash,
You've got to carry weapons
Cause you always carry cash.
There's lots of shady characters,
Lots of dirty deals.
Ev'ry name's an alias
In case somebody squeals.
It's the lure of easy money,
It's gotta very strong appeal.

Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes,
It's the ultimate enticement,
It's the smuggler's blues,
Smuggler's blues.

See it in the headlines,
You hear it ev'ry day.
They say they're gonna stop it,
But it doesn't go away.
They move it through Miami, sell it in L.A.,
They hide it up in Telluride,
I mean it's here to stay.
It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru,
You ask any D.E.A. man,
He'll say There's nothin' we can do,
From the office of the President,
Right down to me and you, me and you.

It's a losing proposition,
But one you can't refuse.
It's the politics of contraband,
It's the smuggler's blues,
Smuggler's blues.

And how old is this song? I guess it used to be great to go to Juarez, and people would go there from EP for amost everything from dental treatments, plastic surgery, to using the airport for international travel at better prices due to the currency exchange. It was a real way of life to go over the border. And, of course, it still is to some extent. While others don't seem to know this, the Mexicans come here easily, and many have fulltime jobs here. Some live here and go "home" on the weeends. We just had a car stopped with close to 400k in the trunk and a gas tank full of drugs. That happens regularly and that loss is just the cost of doing business. Not too hard to do, I guess, when they only search every 4th to sixth car...

Mexico has done a great deal of changing for the worst in the last 10 years years, long after Frey sang a pretty cool song.

Kerry Kennedy Arrested: Daughter Of Robert F. Kennedy, N.Y. Governor's Ex-Wife, Charged With DWI

07/13/12 09:02 PM ET

NORTH CASTLE, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo's ex-wife, Kerry Kennedy, was arrested Friday for driving while impaired by drugs after she accidentally struck a tractor-trailer and fled, police said.

Kennedy is the seventh of 11 children of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. State police said she was found Friday morning behind the wheel of her disabled vehicle on the side of a road in Westchester, just north of New York City.

Authorities say 911 callers reported the car was driving erratically on Interstate 684 and collided with a tractor-trailer in the town of North Castle. The car was damaged and had a flat tire, police said.

A spokesman for Kennedy, who lives in nearby Bedford, denied that she was driving under the influence of drugs.

"Kerry Kennedy voluntarily took breathalyzer, blood and urine tests – all of which showed no drugs or alcohol whatsoever in her system," spokesman Ken Sunshine said in an emailed statement. "The charges were filed before the test results were available."

Police said Kennedy was issued traffic tickets that must be returned to the town of North Castle Court on Tuesday.

Kerry Kennedy had Ambien in blood, test finds

Ambien detected after I-684 crash
7:28 AM, Jul 26

Kerry Kennedy had detectable amounts of a sleeping drug in her blood after she was arrested for drugged-driving this month, according to a county toxicologist’s deposition released Wednesday.

Zolpidem, also known as Ambien, was found in her blood while a urine test was negative for alcohol. Police took the samples the day of the incident.

The finding contradicts what Kennedy spokesman Ken Sunshine said the day after the July 13 incident, when police said Kennedy swiped a tractor-trailer.

“Kerry Kennedy voluntarily took Breathalyzer, blood and urine tests — all of which showed no drugs or alcohol whatsoever in her system,” Sunshine said then, before Kennedy suggested she might have had a seizure.

Police have said that Kennedy told them the day of the incident that she may have mistakenly ingested Ambien the night before.

“It now appears that my first instinct was correct,” Kennedy, 52, said in a statement Wednesday. She has pleaded not guilty.

“We have discussed the lab results with the (Westchester County) District Attorney’s Office and they will be determining what is the appropriate course of action as we move forward,” said Maj. Michael Kopy of the state police. A D.A.’s Office spokesman declined comment.

The test reported 14 nanograms of Zolpidem per milliliter of blood, which studies suggest is a low concentration. Prosecutors must only prove the drug affected Kennedy’s driving.

But when ya discuss the behavior of others and openly diss them, your bound to get slapped back. Where will the line get drawn? Speeding, littering, eating a few grapes before you pay for the bundle - all are crimes, some worse than others. Does it matter why we do what we have done or just that we did them? I have a feeling that you obsess and nitpick at others because you have overwhelming guilty feelings and want to make yourself feel better.

I considered that to be a medical treatment, Avo. I would do it again, and I was willing to take the risks. Again, you aren't talking about anything that I haven't already disclosed.

Actually, Avo, I rather consider myself to have been dissed first. I disclosed my DUIs the first week I was on the forum, and I am not the one that chose to make this old news an issue. Look to Cause for that. I don't look over the border to feel better about myself. Where do you get this twaddle? I have been very open about my feelings that the Mexican government fails its people, how the cartels have been permitted to run rampant and the part Americans have in it, and how grateful I am to be here instead of bitching about America. That must have been another blog that someone missed in their attempt to chase me around the net.

Avo, you deliberately misread everything I post. Yesterday, you had me hiring illegals when you don't know the first thing about what you were talking about, and that I did it because she was below me. Just a desire to diss someone you don't like. Why is that? It isn't any different than you hiring a babysitter or a kid to mow your lawn, yet you sure wanted to poke a finger at me. That's sad, actually.

"If I have a gratitude issue today, I take a ride on I-10 and look over to Juarez and thank God I don't live there" ~ Clara . Then she says that she doesn't do that: "I don't look over the border to feel better about myself."

That is where I got the twaddle. Straight from one of your posts.

About the dog/medical issue. It's still not legal Clara, it's just a rationalization for breaking the law. If you think it's OK in Spike's case, try and think about the people that buy for themselves. Why do you think people buy drugs? I believe that often times they are often self-medicating. In a lot of cases it is a medicinal issue and I do consider substance abuse a sort of illness.

I just got done saying that when you openly diss people (and repeatedly in my case), you are likely to get a slap back. So when you ask "Why is that?", as you did above - think a bit first. I could care less of your dui's. Many people have them. You bring yourself up into discussions regularly here and invite others into your life. That's fine. However I have said that I don't appreciate you discussing mine, yet you continue to do so. You are like a child Clara...I am not everybody in this forum. Is this how you acted as a child as well? "But Mommy, Sara hit me so I just HAD to hit Susie". Your description of the situation with the woman you hire to do your ironing seemed very snobbish. Yes, I have a service to get my yard mowed each week. But I don't tip them with my husbands old socks. I'd never think to degrade them in such a way or mention it to others. It hardly seemed like a short story about the unfortunate souls but the more fortunate and unnapreciative Clara...Stay out of my business, don't mention my name, and I will do the same.

But again, you are trying to read more into that than is intended. I have often written about how I feel about a government that disenfranchises its people the way the Mexican government does, and how it feels to be that close to it. You just always try to read something in a way never intended or even inferred.

I believe that people buy drugs not for medical issues, certainly not what Ironic has described for the most part. It is recreational use. I would buy MMJ for anyone that wanted it for a medical reason and couldn't get to it. I have come to believe in it alot, although there were even people that said it didn't do anything for Spike. Instead of getting "better", he was simply detoxing from the traditional meds. Yes, it was illegal, and I made the choice to do it despite putting myself at risk. I think there is a difference in helping a dog with cancer and toking while hanging out with friends. If substance abuse is an illness, why isn't alcoholism? I believe it is.

I have willingly disclosed my DUIs and I have talked about my alcoholism with sincerity and honesty. I do believe that this forum is more about gameplaying than it is about genuine sharing. If you followed the conversation with some objectivity, you'll notice that it wasn't about my DUIs or willingness to discuss them; it was some childish, middle aged woman, trying to crow that she knew something I didn't know. Oh, goodie for her. Then, Ben, in his superiority, decided to call a drunk driver criminal scum without acknowleging that criminal behavior takes place on this board and is never reprimanded, even lauded at times. Again, it comes down to a good tradition in AA, remembering to put principles before personailities. On OPF, it will always matter where you stand on AA before anything else, and ethics are not determined by your intrinsic values. If they were, they would be consistent across the board and not change depending on the who of the situation. I am entitled to defend myself, Avo. If it turns out that what I have always believed, that my PBJs were erased upon successful completion, turns out not to be correct, then that is another wonderful benefit of OPF and I can get it corrected. I've agreed that there are court records is probably right, but nothing has come up on the NCIC, and that is on which I have based my statements.

As for Anna, when she realized that I was throwing something away that she could still use, she asked for them and I gave them to her. So, should I have just said no despite that she found value in them? Again, you are choosing to believe something in a way that was never intended, and it is colored by your own personal prejudice toward the author. Should I have said, "No, Anna, if I give them to you, people on OPF will think I am behaving in a lordly fashion, so I would just as soon create more for the landfill verses give them to someone that can still use them or I can take them to the Goodwill and you can buy them." I like my decision better.

As for privacy, I think someone that posted someone else's vacation shots as an avatar isn't really entitled to it, Avo. You ask for things you won't do for others, and you participate just as much. You always are back to posting to me despite the many protest and personal angst.

Have a good day!

I guess I just have to wonder. I remember my last DUI that the prosecutor was bound and determined to find something on me, but wasn't able to. My attorney called me and said she was checking my records in TN and SC, and what would she find? I said nothing, and she didn't find anything. That was the reason I was able to get a probation before judgment, unsupervised probation, and head to the beach. The records go away upon completion. I always got PBJs. Hell, I got one every three years, and they were always treated like first time offenses and went away.

So what can you say? Now I am sassy and happy in Texas, where it is fortunate that I DON'T drink because they do not play. Of coure, MD may not do it that way now, either. Alot has changed since those days. The MADD lobby is pretty strong.

LOL! Only with you guys.

Dunno, Cause, but my guess is that it was with property damage. I hit a parked car, if you recall my initial post about it. I think she was also new and they are always zealous. But that again is why I believed priors had been expunged or erased upon completion of probation. If she had what she needed in MD, she wouldn't have been looking anywhere else as she wouldn't have needed to. I remember that I had to file for the expungment of the motor vehicles hearing myself, and I was relieved I had done that much because if she would have known my license had been suspended, that could have led to why... I was actually going to blow that off.

If one were to go to court records at the judiciary homepage, there is probably something there, but I have always been led to believe that I don't have an NCIC record and I have seen that. I got a what was referred to as a heavy or high ticket, and my attorney showed it to me. Because of my good record, it was reduced. I had been very concerned about it because I was still on probation. When I moved here, I was told the same thing when I switched insurances. So, I dunno what to tell you.

We don't have no love in's in el paso
We don't go to porno picture shows
We don't swap our wives with our neighbors
And we keep our kids away from mexico.

And I'm proud to be an asshole from el paso
A place where sweet young virgins are deflowered.
You walk down the street knee-deep in tacos
Ta-ta-ta-tacos
And the wetbacks still get twenty cents an hour.

We don't wipe our asses on old glory,
God and lone star beer are things we trust.
We keep our women virgins till they're married
So hosin' sheep is good enough for us.

And I'm proud to be an asshole from el paso
A place where sweet young virgins are deflowered.
You walk down the street knee-deep in tacos
Ta-ta-ta-tacos
And the wetbacks still get twenty cents an hour.

I'm proud to be an asshole from el paso
A place where sweet young virgins are deflowered.
You walk down that street knee-deep in tacos
Ta-ta-ta-tacos
And the wetbacks still get twenty cents an hour

Criminal : An individual who has been found guilty of the commission of conduct that causes social harm and that is punishable by law.

A criminal is someone that has been found guilty of a crime. CLar is, by definition, a criminal.

In order for somebody to track CLar's crimes they would need to know her legal name and what jurisdictional law she was subject to. In other words, where she lived or where she was found guilty of her crimes.

People break the law everyday. Does speeding make one a criminal if not caught? No.
Does running a stop sign make one a criminal if not caught? No.

By CLar's irrational thinking a person convicted of a dui should also be convicted of attempted manslaughter.

Clar is just another INSANE stepper that is perpetually in denial.

Can My Tennessee DUI Conviction be Erased from My Record?

Posted by Sara Compher-Rice in Tennessee DUI Penalties, Uncategorized on January 26th, 2009

A typical misconception in our society is that criminal convictions, including Tennessee DUI convictions, can be erased from a criminal record. Tennessee law allows for a charge to be expunged, or erased, from one’s record only if the charge has been dismissed. The passage of time alone, even for years, will not be sufficient to allow for expungement under Tennessee law. This is why it is so important to obtain the best possible representation as soon as possible after a DUI, traffic or other criminal charge has been brought against you. Once convicted, the record of that conviction remains on your criminal history forever – possibly causing the loss of job opportunities, and affecting one’s ability and or the rates of life and health insurance.

Once a charge is dismissed (whether by agreement, acquittal a ”no true bill” or executive clemency), specific procedures must be followed to request expunction of public records relating to the arrest. To ensure that the proper procedures are followed, one should retain a lawyer to assist with the process. The process, however, can take up to 12 weeks due to the necessity of obtaining the necessary approval of the prosecution, the judge, and the various law enforcement agencies involved.

The expungement of a South Carolina DUI or DWI conviction is liberating from the penalties of a DUI record. Expunging a South Carolina DUI record may mean the difference in not having to disclose it on a job application, which can often be used against you unfairly. Criminal background checks are frequently conducted in pre-employment screenings. A felony conviction will prohibit an individual from purchasing a firearm and carries other stigmatizing repercussions including limits placed on the right to travel to certain countries.

South Carolina DUI Expungement may mean the first step towards a certificate of rehabilitation or pardon, in the case of some felony drunk driving convictions. To expunge South Carolina DUI charges may mean the difference between passing a background check or not. When records of an arrest or conviction are sealed or expunged, a notation is made in the file that the records are off limits to all except law enforcement personnel. You can then treat the arrests or convictions as though they had never happened. Getting a South Carolina DUI expungement will give you the peace of mind you deserve to move on without the lingering stigma that comes with a DUI record.

South Carolina DUI expungement is available with the information in the DUI Clear guide we provide you.

You will then be legally relieved of all penalties and disabilities resulting from the DUI offenses.

Clara's picture

Boy, touchy, aren't we?

LFOD, I said I was a habitual drunk driver the very first week I got to OPF. I was committing a criminal act every time I left a bar with three drunks under my belt, whether I was caught or not. I have been an open book since day one.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been spending my money on other women
And taking money from someone else

Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
