I just signed our Expungement Reform Act into law.

In Maryland, we’re sending a clear message: Not every sentence has to be a life sentence.

A free expungement clinic, held in Jackson, Mississippi, on Sept. 11 helps people with prior misdemeanor or felony convictions apply for expungement, which would remove the charge from their records and provide them more opportunities in society through jobs and housing.

✅ Grows our economy

- they are eligible to apply to US Forest Service for firefighting jobs after release; CalFire has a training program in Ventura County just for formerly incarcerated firefighters; expungement of the criminal record should make it easier to get jobs in other jurisdictions or fields

Think it’s important to note, since bet lots of ppl don’t appreciate this, that when a DA drops charges like this, the arrest does not automatically disappear.

In some places, like TX, you can’t seek expungement until after the statute of limitations. In others, expungement costs $$$.

These stick.
As grotesque as this is, it's also standard practice with protestors

I once defended someone charged with a felony for getting bodily fluid on a cop – because the cop busted her lip and refused to provide anything to stop the blood dripping everywhere while she was handcuffed

Later dismissed ofc
Professor, not the cop who assaulted her, has been charged with battery

“A lot of people have the misconception that expungements are only needed for felony convictions,” Mississippi Center for Justice Economic Justice Campaign Director Charity Bruce Sweet said. “However, I will always emphasize that expungements are just needed for your arrest record in general. “

Lumberjack lawyer time. All day expungement clinic. Might be a trickle. Might be a tsunami. Time will tell. 😁👍

“I hope that (we) can get as many people expunged as possible so that they can seek employment and whatever other benefits that they may need that were being hindered from that prior prosecution,” Jobs for Jacksonians Director Candace Ingram told the Mississippi Free Press.

Mississippi law allows people to petition courts to expunge certain misdemeanor or felony convictions from their records. A person is allowed one lifetime felony expungement.

Yet, the fire camps remain the most humane places to serve time in the California prison system, and it is the only program that offers full expungement of criminal records after release.

Folks don't go to fire camp for the money, they go for the freedom.

(Pritzker becoming a resistance hero while being shaky on expungement and silent on policing is similar to my worst-case scenario re Mamdani personally.)

Last year, Gov. @iamwesmoore.bsky.social pardoned more than 175,000 low-level cannabis convictions.

Now, by signing the Expungement Reform Act, he’s making sure Marylanders who have turned their lives around can build a brighter future.

Not every sentence needs to be a life sentence. The Expungement Reform Act is about helping the thousands of Marylanders who have served their time get a fair shot at building their future.

I think the goal of the expungement bill was to try addressing this issue. I don't know enough about the EMT process to speak on it, though.

Spanberger wins Virginia governor!

Dem have the governorship & state house, now, so very much looking forward to them undoing all of Youngkin slow-walking & line-item veto-enacted bullshit.

For instance: The cannabis legalization & expungement process that's been promised/on the books since 2020.

Under a new law, certain petty misdemeanors, misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors and felonies are eligible for automatic expungement. Some 500,000 Minnesotans with low-level offenses will have their criminal records sealed through this automatic expungement law, which has been delayed since January.
