FAQ
Can you be charged for a crime without evidence? In the U.S., typically not. There needs to be a certain standard of reason for charging someone with a crime.
For a misdemeanor, records will be sealed three years after conviction or release from jail. For a felony, records will be sealed eight years after conviction or release from prison. Individuals must maintain a clean record and be no longer on probation or parole in order to qualify for record sealing.
A clean record indicates only that there are no records of criminal conduct in the places that were checked. The absence of information in criminal record files should not be viewed as positive evidence of reliability or trustworthiness.
Sealed Records: After 10 Years (CPL 160.59) If you have no more than two misdemeanor convictions or one felony and one misdemeanor conviction, you may be eligible to have those convictions sealed. You must apply to the court to have your records sealed.

The FCRA's seven-year rule restricts the reporting of certain types of information for jobs paying less than a minimum salary threshold. Additionally, several states have seven-year restrictions on reporting criminal convictions.
