This is all sorts of fucked up. I hope this guy has the resources to fight this.

Very likely I can get you an actual copy of that section of the paper. Grandparents next door get daily paper.

Oh absolutely. I was mostly being sarcastic because I feel the same way most of you do about it.

Always record the police, for your safety and the safety of others. These cops are now nothing more than legal gangs

Only thing I’m curious about is if the expungement order was certified or not. As in, a copy with a raised seal.
I had this nagging sensation when I first read this article that people in this person’s position would probably keep a certified copy on them, and if cops are going to treat certified copies as possible fakes, they need to be directly penalized with no qualified immunity.
He should win either way. If it was a certified copy, the officer should be personally liable as well.

Sadly, the courts have ruled that they do not have to know the law, and that ignorance of the law means they get a free pass (unlike the rest of us). See the doctrine of qualified immunity.

Seems like cops should probably learn the laws.

One City Market is worth the stop. Call first though, because they have weird hours. I can't even think of any other yarn shops in the general area.

I got in trouble for smoking weed in the dorms at Mizzou, they had me take some drunk driving education courses and do some community service to get it "expunged" from my record so that "it would be the same on your record as if it didn't happen". Well a few years back when I was applying to DoorDash I found out it very much still shows up and basically gets treated the same as if I had a DUI, seemingly. So based on my own negative experience and this story it feels that expungement just does not get taken seriously in Missouri, unfortunately.

A lot of money, and better yet a consent decree requiring them to properly seal expunged records so that they can only be opened/accessed via court order.

Yes a lot to. For gluten free options they either use GF soy sauce or do a white sauce.

Sadly I do not think it would have mattered in this case as his personal info would have already been taken by the officer for the accident and the firearm was in plain sight. So if he had not provided the expungement paperwork to her, he still would have been arrested. Him having provided it, just makes it that much more damming on the officer.

Hahah. “Finger farting” as we like to call it. One time we ordered like, 20 cases of this teriyaki flavored tofu. They actually sent us that many. (A lot of times, they will send us way less if we do accidentally order a ridiculous amount) so it was deep discounted for about a month. We managed to sell it all, though!

This sounds like a good example of don't consent without a warrant, and don't talk without a lawyer.

I've been a victim of the I meant to order 20 but added an extra zero by accident. So, find someplace to put it all...

Yup. As somebody that works in a grocery store, it’s been known for somebody to try to order 2 cases of something (for example) but accidentally typed “22” in the form. Could have been distro from the company, too, when we have sale events our distributors will send us loads of stuff we didn’t even order because it is about to go on sale. Lots of possibilities. Over ordering is wayyyyyyy more common than people would think.

Where's your evidence of your assumptions towards the OP you replied to? That was the whole point of the response, to demonstrate why you shouldn't make such baseless assumptions on others just because you didn't like their response.

Totally, they are hard to come by these days. I’ve stopped at other before and the nostalgia factor is there but the food isn’t great, so I love that this place has both. RS is very interesting. I’ve always wanted to check out the flea markets on the main drag, but every time I go they’re closed.

Was about to suggest calling the news leader and asking them or the funeral home but realized they may not even do this anymore.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for yesterday's edition and grab it if I see one.

So apparently the local highway patrol office is not following court orders and sealing expunged convictions. They arrested a man for having a firearm after someone else rear-ended him, because they still had a record of his conviction (that was expunged in 2021). The incident happened in May of 2022.
It sounds like he has a strong case. He had the proof of expungement on him, and they just did not like it.
