What is the name of your state? I live in Michigan. In 1997, I was 17 yrs old. I had stolen a bike from a person who had before this, stole my bike. He never got caught, but when I stole his bike his dad came over and pressed charges. I was charged with 1cnt of felony, the charge segment read: 1 cnt felony-stolen-recieving and concealing in excess of $100.00. My charge at court was droped to: plead guilty-cnt 2- misdemeanor 100.00 or less. I never served any jail time, but was put on probation. I am older now and want to know if I can have that taken off my record. I have no other things on my record.

Expungement/pardon

There are several thousand questions on this forum similar to yours. Thus, I have prepared a standard answer.

Standard answer: Expungement is generally granted for illegal arrests or unlawful convictions. Generally, pardons mean you are forgiven for the crime but it remains on your record.

Check with the governor or attorney general of your state to see how you can go about either of these procedures. Check with the Attorney General or the President for federal expungement or pardon.

You must remember that there may be private background check companies that have past offenses on their databases; those reports will never be expunged.
