Have They Made it Too Easy to Clear A Criminal Record?
I was raised in a good Christian household and believe in giving people second chances. After all, everyone makes mistakes. When it comes to children, we should give them even more indulgences.
We shouldn’t penalize someone for things done long ago, especially if the transgression is minor, they learned the lesson, and are unlikely to repeat their mistake.
This is why I thought Michigan’s new law that makes it easier for people to “expunge” or set-aside criminal convictions was a good step. That is, until I read it.
