What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? DuPage County, Illinois
- I am looking to expunge a Domestic Battery case from 1995.
- I filed the petition with the clerk.
- The states attorney filed an objection and did not give a reason in any of the paperwork.
- I called the states attorney office and have not received any reply (I didn't expect one).
- I was able to find out the reason over the phone. I do not have the exact verbiage, however, the objection is something like "Due to the nature of this case, law enforcement needs to know the history."
- I have no priors in Illinois or any other state.
- I was not convicted.
- The charge was reduced to Battery.
- I received court supervision.
- The sentence terminated successfully.
I'm not an expert, however, the state's position seems a lot like using the "Safety" keyword. "For safety reasons, law enforcement needs to know the history."
My question is: How would you argue against the state's position?
