Dating Probation Officer and Expunged Record

I went out on a date with a female probation officer that I met in class (graduate school). I know that law enforcement officers have access to expunged records but could this lady push a few buttons on a computer at work and get access to that kind of information?

Also I will graduate in spring with a master’s degree in counseling. I am assuming that some of these government places that seek out people with this type of degree might have this kind of access as well. True or false? For example some of these substance abuse treatment centers are actually part of the probation departments. Technically I am not disqualified even if they do access this information. I just don’t want my privacy invaded if it can be avoided.

Expunged records are not as readily accessible as you fear.

If she dug far enough (and wanted to risk prosecution for misuse of computer telecommunications systems and records systems for personal use) she coul dprobably dig up a history of your arrest or prosecution at the local level if not at the state level. But, why would she do this?

Employers might do background checks, and certain employers might even have access to criminal records, but if it is expunged I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Don't stress.

This lady wouldn't do anything that involved breaking the law.
