The Difference Between a Sealed Record and an Expunged Record

The Difference Between a Sealed Record and an Expunged Record

In a previous post, we described what qualifies for sealing and expunging DUI records. Here, we explain the difference.

What's in your file - Sealing and expunging dui records. Find at more from Florida attorneys Parker andMaloneySealing and expungement are NOT the same

According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE):

  • When a criminal history record is sealed, the public will not have access to it. Certain governmental or related entities, primarily those listed in Section 943.059(4)(a), Florida Statutes, have access to the sealed record information in its entirety.
  • When a record has been expunged, most of the entities that would have access to a sealed record will be informed that the subject of the record has had a record expunged, but would not have access to the record itself without a court order. The response to a record search query from such an entity would be: Criminal History Record Expunged Pursuant to Florida Statutes 943.
  • In most cases your record must be sealed for ten (10) years before it can be expunged, unless the indictment or information was never filed or was actually dismissed.

DUI doesn’t always involve alcohol

DUI doesn’t always involve alcohol

Sobriety ChecklistDid you know that driving under the influence” (DUI) doesn’t always involve alcohol? It also includes driving while using any drug that may impair your ability to operate a vehicle. Obviously, it includes illegal drugs, but it also encompasses prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications. If you are stopped by the police and suspected of being impaired for any reason—alcohol or drugs—you could find yourself arrested for suspicion of DUI.

Level of Impairment

The issue with drugs is that drugs have different effects on different people. The same drug can affect people entirely differently, including how impaired it makes you appear.

DUI: No criminal history does not equal special treatment

DUI No criminal History does not equal special treatmentYou’ve been stopped under the suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). Don’t assume that not having a prior criminal history means you’ll get special treatment. You won’t! No criminal history does not equal special treatment.

The arresting officer is not your friend. Any criminal history prior to your DUI will be an issue to the prosecution. Nevertheless, it is not wise to assume otherwise just because your record is clean.

Drinking and driving drunk is serious

Getting Ready for New Year’s Eve?

Getting Ready for New Year’s Eve?

New Year's eve DUI

New year’s eve is a great time to celebrate all you’ve accomplished this year and look forward to the new one. Unfortunately, it’s also a time for many drunk-driving crashes, with way too many ending with fatalities.

As with years past, this one will be no exception. To minimize drunk driving, police will be out in force conducting sobriety checkpoints, as well as having DUI patrols.

  • Planning to drink? Don’t plan to drive!
  • Have a designated, non-drinking/sober driver
  • Use a car service — taxis, Uber and Lyft are great alternatives

You drank, drove and got a DUI

You’ve made a mistake; don’t make another by not hiring a qualified attorney.

Holiday Hangover: Does yours include a DUI or BUI?

Holiday Hangover: Does yours include a DUI or BUI?

 

Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is as serious as DUI.

Did you party too much? Drink too much? Drive too soon afterwards? And, then were you pulled over by the police for driving under the influence (DUI) or boating under the influence (BUI)?

You were boating not driving a car, right?

With all our waterways in Florida, operating a boat under the influence is just as serious an offense as operating a car in an impaired state. BUIs are treated seriously, in part, because Florida leads the nation in the number of boating deaths. Studies show that one third of all recreational boating fatalities involve the use of alcohol.
