I got sentenced to 90 days non-reporting court supervision after being convicted of misdemeanor retail theft in IL. Unless im mistaken, then the offense should be removed from my record when i pay the fine and complete the term of supervision. Does this automatically come off, or do i need to file a motion to have it removed? Also, do i need to report this on job applications and the like after the offense is expunged?
Thanks,

My response:
Check your State's laws, but you have to wait a certain number of no-offense years before you can petition the court for a record expungement. If the question is merely, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" then you can say, No. But, if it asks if you have been convicted of a crime, then you should answer, Yes.
