Expunging Warren Arrest Records
Michigan's Clean Slate law under MCL § 780.621 lets people remove old convictions from their record. Up to two felonies can be set aside after 10 years and four misdemeanors after seven years. The petition goes to the Macomb County Circuit Court. The fee is $50 with waivers for those who cannot pay. Not all offenses qualify. Serious crimes and sex offenses are excluded.
Under MCL § 28.243, arrest records that did not result in a conviction can be destroyed after a set time. This applies to charges that were dropped or ended in acquittal. Michigan Legal Help has free tools to check if you qualify. MCL § 445.1883 stops websites from charging to remove mugshots.
