That's for demonstrating exactly what mountain bikers are like (I know -- you can't help yourself)! I don't have time to verify all the silly claims made by the innumerable jackasses (like you) posting gibberish on the Internet. Is this how you handled the literature review on your dissertation? Did you make silly assertions and then demand your committee look them up for you? It just doesn't work that way. YOU make a claim; YOU back it up. ... Unless you're bluffing, which is clearly the case here.

The only way to verify it is for him to pay a fee to get a copy of the record and post it to everyone here, which it is no surprise that he would rather not do. I wouldn't pay money to prove something to people I disliked, either!

He doesn't need to tell employers about it, unless he is applying for a government job. But, the record of the conviction still exists, and the expungement can be reversed if he does something like this again.
BS. "Expungement" means just what it says. It no longer exists -- which is good, since I was never guilty in the first place.

By the way, you can't talk about "facts", without lying, since you weren't there to confirm them.

Right. I'm neither.
