Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
I was arrested and criminally charged. That was resolved in my favor and expunged. I applied for the police department and they told me they can see my arrests, even if they were expunged. How is this possible and where can I go to have that particular record expunged or removed from their database?

My understanding is that while the contents of the files are expunged and removed from public inspection, they disposition remains available to the government for national security and to the state for public safety purposes.
