persnickety1022 asked:
If you have a criminal offense from years ago, that was expunged, can you legally say on a job application that you have never been arrested? What if they specifically ask if you have an expungment, and then ask what it was for? And, since expungement wipes an offense away, do they have the right to ask if you have had an expungement?
I should add, that a few law officials have said, in the case of expungement, that a person can legally answer NO on a job application, when asked if they have ever been arrested or convicted of a crime.
