I have been arrested 15 times never convicted of the arrest never had a felony charge or misdemeanor stick. But due to the facts of the arrest being on the arrest I've been turned down from military Navy Air Force and many other things in goals that I was trying to achieve after graduating high school. Haven't been able to get a good job hard to get a place to stay and even be treated equally and accepted due to the arrest.
We the undersigned call on the United States to reform and look over the arrest record and conviction law. We ask that this law be reformed and looked into due to the extreme affect that this law has on minorities and other citizens. If someone is arrested and there is no case and the state doesn't prosecute then those arrests should be removed because with them being on the record as a minority it's like being charged with double jeopardy which goes against the Fifth Amendment. Anyone charged and not convicted she still have a clean record and be able to live a life as a felon free citizen and not look like a criminal that's good with getting away with crime. This not only affects the minority and citizens but it also makes the state attorney's and police officers look very very bad. But it destroys a life as well
