  • Criminal records last for a lifetime even if youre found to be innocent,?

    After living a wild youth and acquiring a pretty bad name for myself by the police,my record sucks ,but all of this stuff was misdemeanors and some of this i was found innocent but its still on my record.im 46 years old now and cant find a decent job because of things that happened well over 25 years ago,Why isn't there a statute of limitations on this petty criminal activity.There's a lot of good people who cant get decent work because of something that happened many years ago.I think alot of people deserve a second chance in life.
