A Couple of Things to Know About Speeding Citations and Indiana Expungement Law

An expungement is a legal process that allows you to remove convictions and arrests from your criminal record, making it almost as if they never happened.  But what about speeding citations?

Can I get a citation for speeding expunged?

No. 
  
Indiana allows you to get criminal charges and criminal convictions removed from your criminal record. 
  
A speeding citation, however, involves neither criminal charges nor a criminal conviction because speeding is not considered a criminal offense.  For that reason, a speeding citation cannot be expunged.

Even if I cannot get my citation expunged, can I get the traffic stop that led to my receiving the citation expunged?

No.  
  
Indiana allows you to get arrests expunged, but a traffic stop for speeding is not considered a formal arrest.
