How about erasing arrest records where the charges were immediately dropped. Lots of people out there who never did anything wrong, but got arrested anyway and had the court immediately drop the charges. That arrest record follows you for life and screws you if anyone does a deep background check.

Cops can arrest you, immediately release you, and you now have a permanent record haunting you.

This is true. I know of someone who lost a few job opportunities because of it.
