Yes, you can, under certain circumstances. Many people have run afoul of the law in some minor way and ended up pleading to, or being convicted of, a local town law called an "ordinance." The good news is that many times they can be erased or "expunged."
This is done through a "petition for expungement" if you meet the following requirements:
- It has been at least two years from the date of your conviction, or the date on which the sentence was completed, whichever is later;
- You have not been convicted of any prior or subsequent crime in any state; and
- You have not had more than two disorderly or petty disorderly persons offenses.
There is no limit on the number of ordinance convictions that can be wiped out.
