Your bad self has gotten you into trouble. You've gonestraight. Can your name be cleared? Maybe. If it's possible to do so in California, this book will tell you how in minute detail. Even shows the forms you must fill out and what to say on them. Though specifically for California folks, the basic steps will work in other states after a bit of imaginative snooping and adopting. If you're contemplating a life of crime, this peek at the bureaucratic hassles involved might serve as a deterrent!
The CriminalRecords Book (How to Regain Your Good Name) Warren Siegel 1983; 150 pp. $14.95 ($16.45 postpaid) from: Nolo Press 950 Parker Street Berkeley, CA 94710 or Whole Earth Access
Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act (18 USC 5038)If you were under the age of 18 at the time you were accused of committing a federal delinquent act' (crime' if you were an adult), your case was processed under the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act (18 USC 5031). This is a procedure very favorable to you. All records about your case were treated confidentially while the case was in progress, and at the end of the case, your records were automatically sealed. You do not have to do a thing to get your records sealed (18 USC 5038). The law requires it to be done by the court, whether or not there has been a finding' that you violated the law.
Once your records are sealed by the court, if anyoneasks you if you have a record, you can answer no.' It's as if you were never involved in a federal juvenile court case.
