AUTOERASE INITIATIVE - SUPPORT

Applauds the nationwide effort of the #AutoErase Campaign to bring awareness to the fact that individuals wrongfully arrested may still have an arrest record even after they are released and to remove the burden from the individual of having that wrongful arrest record erased; calls on all local, state, and federal agencies to automatically erase and destroy all information pertaining to arrest records of individuals wrongfully arrested and to ensure the arrest record does not appear in any local, state, or federal agency's database; calls on the United States Congress, states, and localities to ensure that an innocent individual's record appears as it did before the wrongful arrest occurred, at no expense and with no action required by the individual; supports that the innocent individual can in the future be legally and factually allowed to deny the arrest under all circumstances and on any local, state, federal, corporate, or private form, including, but not limited to, applying for a state-issued professional license, applying for a law enforcement job, applying for a federal or national security clearance, applying for a school-related job, buying a firearm or applying for a concealed carry permit, running for public office, or applying as a candidate for a state bar.
