Question

Can a strike be exponged, if so how soon? it was a robbery along with a gang enhancement 186.22

Answer

There are no "expungement" laws in California, but if you were placed on probation and successfully completed your probation, you can apply for a dismissal under Penal Code section 1203.4. That's what most people call the "expungement" section.

You are ineligible if you were sentenced to state prison, including if you had a suspended prison sentence while on probation.

If your dismissal is granted, it cleans it up a little, but it still remains on your record, can still be used as a strike against you in the future and can still be a prior against you.
