Automatically expunges records of arrests for criminal possession of a weapon that stemmed from unconstitutional stops and frisks between 2004 and 2012, so those individuals face fewer collateral consequences from such records.
Such expunction shall include but not be limited to any convictions and all records pertaining to such stop including UF-250 form information, any and all records of arrest, investigation including computer data-bases, and records of detention pursuant to such voidable stop and/or qualified arrest, fingerprints, photographs, DNA samples, physical meas-urements, or any other record of identification.
Automatically expunges records of arrests for certain offenses (including marijuana) that stemmed from unconstitutional stops and frisks between 2004 and 2012, so those individuals face fewer collateral consequences from such records that could affect immigration enforcement.
The legislature finds that any records associated with such unconstitutional stops, frisks and arrests shall be automatically expunged and notification shall be made to such individ-uals of such expunction.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates an automatic expunction system solely for records tied to specific unconstitutional NYPD stops and frisks (2004-2012) that led to arrests for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, weapon possession, or marijuana offenses. This directly affects firearms via expungement of criminal-possession-of-a-weapon records (expanding access by removing barriers) and immigration enforcement via expungement of records that could trigger enforcement actions (restricting enforcement by reducing available records). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
