What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
A little background.
In 1977 I was charged with a felony crime.
It was dismissed at arraingment. aka hearing.
In getting a FBI Fingerprint background 12-2010, this showed up.
I went to the County Clerk Of Courts in the county of the charges and was told that since the charges were dismissed at the hearing it was never kicked up to County Level. So there was never any case for them to track. No Records Exists. I need to go to the magistrate district that held the hearing for the case.
I did and was told that as of 1991 no hardcopies exist. If their office did not bound a case over for trial they got rid of all paperwork because there was nothing to keep track of.
In Pennsylvania there is a -State Police Central Repository - that keep track of all cases for the state.
My question would be.
If these show up, can I petition the court to have this incorrect info removed.
If so, how is that accomplished due to the fact that there never was a case so no records exist to expunge.
I apologize if this is posted to the wrong forum. I am a new user and this is my first post
