It's a dumb rumor.

Your record does not magically get cleared or sealed at 18 ... some action must be taken on your part to start the ball rolling - usually after some years have passed.

Speak to an attorney.

**A: by the time you go to trial you will be an adult. And will be tried accordingly.

Why would you want to 'swipe' your record? Wouldn't that just get you in more trouble?

That doesn't sound right to a layman like myself. Wouldn't it be the age you were when the crime was comitted?
