What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alaska
I am twenty-five years old, and had a question regarding expunging a criminal record. When I had just turned 18 I was convicted of theft 4 (shoplifting an item under $20.00) and was granted a SIS after a year of not committing any similar crimes. I was under the impression that since the conviction was set aside, I would not have to list in on job applications. I got a job at a well paying union company the next year, and didn't list in on my application. Then out of no where, two years later, they ran a background check on me and fired me for intentionally falsifying my application. Since then, I have not been able to get any jobs I am qualified to do, or the pay I should be getting. I feel like this SIS thing is a sham, and I really need to find a way to get a true expungement. This happened in Anchorage Alaska.
