Rewriting of the question : Expunged convictions will be destroyed or someone will still be able to access these for specific reasons like someone convicted who apply for some work like lawyer , judge , police officer etc... ?
Also , I want to know if criminal records will note if a person have an expunged conviction related to cannabis.
Here in the US, having your record expunged is usually just for the purpose of finding employment. If a crime is expunged, future employers will not be able to see a record of your crime in your background check. However, if you get into trouble and have to stand in front of a judge, FOR ANY REASON, that judge will CERTAINLY see that you were previously arrested for cannabis possession.
Expungement does nothing to wipe the record for the law enforcement/judicial systems.
It's mainly just for finding employment - having your record expunged helps you find a job because the crime won't show up in your background check, that's it.
In the case of San Francisco. Stuff related to cannabis aren't illegal anymore.
I know having your record expunged is usually just for the purpose of finding employment but does nothing to wipe the record for the law enforcement / judicial systems but I don't know if in San Fran records will be wiped.
