> If you got a DUI, your mugshot and arrest record may be public record and can be displayed. If you got into a custody battle and your court case was public, that can be displayed.

The problem is you’re changing the social contract. 25 years ago a DUI wasn’t a life sentence; it wasn’t something someone could find a record for something you did when you were 19 on a website 40 years later.

Now, it’s a life sentence. It will impact your ability to get gainful employment for a lifetime. I’m sure people who have a hard-on for criminal justice love this, but I think it’s unfair and detrimental to a healthy society.
