Perhaps with some effort, the government records could be expunged. It is (for reasons like this) also illegal to ask about arrests on job applications; only convictions.

Maybe HR departments should be informed of that... I’ve filled out 5 apps this week and that question is sometimes marked as “voluntary” to answer but it is ALWAYS asked.
Any approach to that sounds illegal but who is going to prosecute or sue, a vastly overburdened regulatory agency?
