Expungement Videos Coming Soon

Well, I just received something akin to a grant to produce videos about expungement laws in several states.  This is very exciting.  Not only to get I get to buy a bunch of fun gadgets and gizmos, I get to learn about making videos.  

Not just video, helpful videos that are designed to educate people on a wide range of topics about clearing felony and misdemeanor criminal records.   So, not only do I have to learn about video production, I have to make sure that my scripts and graphics are legally relevant.  I will be expanding out of my expertise, which really is California, and Los Angeles in particular.

I am interested to hear what topics people are interested in learning about.  Here is the list I have received from people at the center and on some of my other sites and boards.  I have broken down the topic by state.

ARIZONA EXPUNGEMENT TOPICS

Does Arizona Allow For Expungement of Criminal Records -  This is a great topic because of all of the confusion that centers around the terms vacate, set-aside and expunge, not to mention the bad advise given by the well meaning employees at the courts.  I imagine this video will be about 8 minutes.  I might do one especially for Phoenix or Maricopa County.

Can Arizona Restore Firearm Rights from Federal Conviction – This topic will take some research.  I have been getting conflicting information.  My friends at RecordGone.com say it is possible, but I have had a few people who disagree.  The last thing I want to do is make a video with bad information.

TEXAS EXPUNGEMENT TOPICS

Can I Expunge My Arrest Record – This is a pretty straightforward topic, but from what I am hearing, nothing is too straight forward with Texas expungement (or expunction as they call it) law.   It is ironic that such straight shooting people can make something like expungement complicated.    This should be about 10 minutes.   Supposedly the procedures really differ by county so an expungement in Dallas Texas video or other regions, like Houston and San Antonio might be need. 

What Is An Order of Non-Disclosure – This is another one designed to clarify the mud.   The people call it record sealing, the statute calls it an order of non-disclosure, and the courts call it both.   Either way, it is a powerful option for people with a felony or misdemeanor that resulted in deferred adjudication.   Not all offenses are eligible, but most are.  

This is just a small is of criminal record clearing topics.  I have budget to do about 40 and cover about 8 states— maybe 10.  Please feel free to post suggested topics here or on any of my other sites or my Google plus sites.  Here is a classic California expungement video.
