'The more one reads into the specifics of this bill, the worse it seems to get. Advocacy articles for this bill, some disguised as news, are commonplace; but many of the substantive claims they make have now been debunked.' -Jack_Elbaum
Different versions of Clean Slate laws have been passed in more than a dozen states so far, both liberal and conservative. On Monday, I explained the basic logic behind these laws: “If a person commits a low-level, non-violent crime, pays his debt to society through jail, parole, fines, or another method, and then does not get in any more trouble for anywhere from five to 10 years, depending on the state, then his criminal record will automatically be sealed.
This is not so when it comes to New York’s proposed law. Originally, the plan was to allow any crime other than those which are sexual in nature to be sealed. This includes murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, and any other crime you could think of. In an amended version, though, in addition to sexual crimes, Class A Felonies like murder, arson, terrorism, and first-degree drug trafficking are ineligible to be sealed.
