Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

Resisting an officer

A 'resisting' offense occured almost four years ago. This

was a bondable/fine arrest with circumstances. As a vehicle passenger the alternative given by the officer was to have become a pedestrian on an interstate highway in a strange city at 7 a.m. approx. morning hours, with heavy traffic

and no knowledge of where I was (February Mardi Gras time and cold weather). Question: Can this ever be removed from

the record. If not, what long term effects does this record

cause?

If yes or possibly, how does one proceed?

Thank you.

Re: Resisting an officer

Ultimately whether this arrest and conviction can be removed (expunged) from the record depends on the language used by the sentencing judge.

Get a copy of the court minutes of the proceeding and have a Louisiana lawyer examine it.
