By Riley S. Lovejoy, Attorney at Law – Private Employers cannot request your entire criminal history; unauthorized use of your personal information is a crime. Such information includes (1) Arrests that did not lead to a conviction, (2) Participation in a pretrial diversion program that is successfully completed, (3) Juvenile records and (4) Expunged records (Although in Washington State you cannot expunge a DUI from your record). So If your conviction is dismissed or expunged, you have the right to answer “no” if you are asked if you have been convicted of a crime. However, some employers, considered “Special Employers” (those serving “vulnerable” people i.e., children, sick people, elderly) have access to your entire criminal history. The same goes for government employers and of course, law enforcement agencies.
