Legal Question in Criminal Law in District of Columbia

Ok few days ago, I was demanded to move from a spot where I was standing on the side walk many several feet away from the door or a bar. At the time the area wasn't crowded and it was only me and two of my freinds waiting for one of our body's to comeout.We were standing far away from the middle of the side walk and didn't block anyone. When the Police officer demanded, I pointed the fact and I said that "I don't have to do anything" .I wasn't intoxicated or drunk anything that night. He automaticaly began putting hund-cuff; arrested me and Charged me for disorderly conduct. Now... although my friend paid the $35 fine when I got out from the jail 2.5 hours later, and even the charge doesn't have any wate to it, the Arrest record will be on my life history forever.

My question regard the fact that I want to challenge the legality of my arrest and therefore throw out the arrest record.I didn't resist, I didn't make a scean, I wasn't deturuptive etc..

What can I do about it? Is it possible to get what I am seeking to accopmlish? What files to I have to fill?
