No Convictions


What is the name of your state? VA

Just a quick question regarding the CJS. How do you answer in an interview/application regarding the question "Have you ever been arrested" if anything that you have ever been arrested for was dismissed or a nol pros. Are arrest records/court records expunged automatically if your case(s) were dismissed, not guilty, etc?

No, the records aren't automatically expunged. A search will reveal the arrests. Sometimes nolle prossed will be indicated, other times just the arrest without additional information is listed.

Va. Code § 19.2-392.2
Expungement of police and court records.
A. If a person is charged with the commission of a crime and
1. Is acquitted, or
2. A nolle prosequi is taken or the charge is otherwise dismissed, including dismissal by accord and satisfaction pursuant to § 19.2-151, or
3. Is granted an absolute pardon for the commission of a crime for which he has been unjustly convicted, he may file a petition setting forth the relevant facts and requesting expungement of the police records and the court records relating to the charge.

If you qualify for VA expungement, you can use the online form located at:

There are at least 17 lawsuits (!!) pending in various courts, including the US Supreme Court, asking if Obama is a natural born citizen (as req'd by Art II, Sec 1 of the US Constitution).

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!
