Legal Answers
10 Questions Answered
Q. In California how far back does a live screen background check go?
A: For any license or credential given by an agency in CA, any livescan will pull up a person's entire criminal history as it is stored in the DOJ repository. However, agencies prefer to see cases that have been expunged or sealed for dozens of reasons. If the 2 misdemeanors and DUI you have in your past simply expired after probation ended, then I highly encourage you to petition the courts to clear the convictions so that your livescan appears the best way possible as you obtain your license.
Q. A DV charge reported to the state of California yet no charges were filed and I never went to court. How do I fix it?
A: We need more people like you! Thank you for wanting to work with B&G's Club! Here's the best that you can do to maximize your privacy and navigate the screening laws for volunteer work:

(1) Make sure that your charges WILL NOT be filed through he District Attorney's office. Many Domestic Violence cases do not get filed within the magical 5 day arraignment schedule because they don't warrant immediate filing. But if the DA's office is still contemplating bringing a formal complaint (either misdemeanor or felony), then the case is still technically "active" and can be filed.

(2) If the DA's office provides you with a status letter that they have chosen NOT to file, you must keep this letter because you will be asked by the Boys and Girls club what the status of your DV case is. Your letter answers that question. You should be good to go at this point. But if you want to maximize your privacy, go to step 3.

(3) File a petition to seal the arrest through he agency that arrested you and the court that would have filed the case. If the arrest was within 1 year of today, you may have to go to a hearing to show you have a significant need to seal the arrest. If granted, this will cause the DOJ of CA to update their own records to reflect the non-filing status and the Order to seal the case.

(4) Keep in mind that even after going through step 3 above, some licensing agencies, employers, and volunteer centers like B&G's club may still have some access to the existence of your arrest. Which is why you need to get the non-filing status letter from the DA's office in Step 2 to show anyone in the future that the arrest didn't lead to formal charges and that you effectively sealed the arrest as well.

Q. Should I pay to get my record cleaned? I read in CA, if not convicted, your arrest wont show in background check. True?
A: Arrests that did not lead to formal charges being filed are routinely reported in background checks -- which result in privacy violations to many people who had a false sense of security. By the time someone is arrested and released from jail, an average of 7-15 different private organizations have already obtained the information about the arrest. Given your situation, you need to make sure that the case will not be filed (through the local District Attorney's office). Once you have confirmation, it is highly recommended that you seek a petition to seal the arrest from public view. On the other hand, if the case is filed and successfully dismissed (or diverted), you need to obtain a record from the clerk's office showing this was the case. California offers many avenues of clearing ones record but the laws are complex and hard to navigate. You may need to find an experienced attorney to give you a full review to make sure you know you're doing the right thing. ... Read More
