How do I expunge or seal a military arrest and a civilian arrest?

Problem is with Top Secret clearance, it may get expunged but does Big Brother really ever erase it. Or do they just say they do.

Is it possible to be charged with something without ever being arrested for the offense

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
The short answer is: yes, you can be "charged" with those offenses. What they need is probable cause. That will get them an arrest warrant. With that, they'll come and pick you up. It doesn't matter if you were previously arrested for it. You need to hire an attorney immediately, to be honest. Don't call them and don't talk to them. Have all communications go through your attorney. If the cop was in plainclothes at the store, and all he could produce was a business card, then there is certainly an available defense to both charges.  What you got in the mail is very likely a summons. If you fail to appear on the date that's included, they will issue a warrant for your arrest. But, just because you're being charged with those offenses does not mean you cannot beat them in court.

Am I criminally liable for the fraud committed by another person?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
You should not be held responsible for purchases you did not authorize or participate in. They may just want to talk with you regarding the case as being a witness. You can always bring a lawyer or another adult with you to talk with the police if it makes you feel better. Keep in mind you don't have to talk to the police. But unless you've somehow been involved in something wrong, they probably just want to talk to see what you can tell them.
