When Tampa and St. Petersburg law enforcement throw the checkered flag on a street race, don’t make your next stop in court alone. Police are cracking down—not just on racers, but on spectators too.

Video – Florida has incredibly strict record-clearing statutes. Under state law, any criminal offense that results in an official adjudication of guilt (a conviction) is completely disqualified from being sealed or expunged.
Furthermore, Florida statutes specifically mandate that a judge cannot withhold adjudication on a DUI charge. If you plead guilty or no contest, or if you are found guilty at trial, the judge is legally forced to convict you. Because a DUI conviction must stand as a formal adjudication of guilt, it stays on your public record permanently, and no court has the legal authority to erase it.
