Expunged record mugshots not returned

[Bobby-o]

Was arrested several years ago in New Jersey on count of disorderly conduct, accepted plea down to disturbing peace,
because of reporting a cop's mismanagement of a situation to his station. The station was only 50 yards away, and I told him I was going to do it, so he followed me in and arrested me to cover his own "self".

Would have fought the charge straight up but was advised at couthouse, ineligible for court appointed atny., that system would screw me. If I knew then about forums such as this I would have definitely not accepted the reaming. Oh well.

Got it expunged, couple years later, but didn't receive mugshots back. They didn't even take prints at time. Don't know why.
Tried calling the various authorities for them- got nowhere.

Years way back was arrested for sleeping in pass. seat while guy I was with did commit a misdemeanor, unbeknownst to me. Settled ACOD. Expunged same and received both mugs and prints in mail.

Other than these, never arrested.
Can I get the mugs back and would they still be on file with NCIC??? Thanx in advance for any/ all help. Bobby-O

You say that you got things expunged, did you have to get an attorney to do so? I'm looking into doing the same thing, but I really don't know where to begin.
