The second expungement is listed in 22 O.S. §18. This expungement arranges for complete assure of the offense from publicly available arrest records. In Oklahoma law there are different categories of people eligible for this kind of expungement and people charged with more serious crimes will wait longer to qualify. Adam Williams explains: “We all make mistakes. Unfortunately, mistakes can haunt us for a very long time by staying on records that are available to the public. Criminal arrests or convictions that remain on your record can be very costly, especially if your record is being looked at by a potential employer. “Expungement” is the term that lawyers use for sealing or erasing different types of records. There are two main types of expungement in Oklahoma that one can obtain to start cleaning up blemishes on his or her record.”
