There are 'defects' though in terms of your history. You got warned in the past.
In regards to actual law, I doubt anything is completely removed from your record.
You may think it is, they may say it is, but if it's supposed to get removed, it only becomes harder to access. This is 2016, data is everything.
You can say there are no defects in regard to your account right now, you have no warns.
People grow, learn and mature, some people don't, ever. Most people don't after 1 warn, usually takes a few before they turn around.
As I said, I worked for a criminal defense firm, so I'm quite familiar with how it works. Records can be sealed and they can be destroyed. Otherwise, youthful offenders would have their lives ruined for ever. I can only speak toward NY, as that is where I live, but yes, the Department of Criminal Justice Services is responsible for sealing and destroying all evidence of convictions when ordered by a Court. Mistakes are made, yes, where a record should have been sealed and/or destroyed but was not, so then it gets addressed and handled as it should have initially. But, we digress.
I hear what you are saying, and you have a valid point. Perhaps you can come up with a suggestion that takes that into consideration without penalizing those that do change?
I guess the biggest question is, does a warn history have any impact toward any circumstance or achievement within the jsp realm?
Scenario: Police officer responds to a scene, a disturbance call of some sort. The disruptive person is being accused of assaulting another person, person Mike. Police officer pulls up this person's records and sees he was issued a warn in the past for having issues with Mike.
Police officer responds on biased impressions and misinterprets the situation while acting on presumptive information, potentially aiding the wrong individual and/or arresting person under false charges.
Point being, even if we completely change our lives around, it is in human nature to use past mistakes against us.
