Simple misdemeanors and bad choices should not be held against a person for the entirety of their lives, we should be able to establish a fresh start.
Why is this important?
I believe that we should look at allowing certain things to come off of our criminal records after a given amount of time. This practice happens with things such as; traffic tickets and bankruptcies, after the allotted time the violations fall off. I believe this should be a common practice with certain misdemeanors and convictions on our criminal records; time frame to be set accordingly.
