Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Municipal conviction - record or not

I plead no contest to a municipal harrassment charge two years ago. How long will

this remain on my record? It was not a felony or misdemeanor.

Re: Municipal conviction - record or not

Your local police department will generally maintain all their

records for at least 10 years, and thereafter on

microfilm or digital storage. It is easy to order

your history with any given police department and

see exactly what it shows. If you were printed, the

FBI crime computer system will retain your prints and mug

shot forever. Of course, an ordinance conviction

is not the same as a criminal conviction. Give me

a call at 262-633-3090 if you need further assistance,

or send a private e-mail with your number and I

will get back to you.
