Only thing I’m curious about is if the expungement order was certified or not. As in, a copy with a raised seal.

I had this nagging sensation when I first read this article that people in this person’s position would probably keep a certified copy on them, and if cops are going to treat certified copies as possible fakes, they need to be directly penalized with no qualified immunity.

He should win either way. If it was a certified copy, the officer should be personally liable as well.

Here’s the 5th and 6th paragraph

“Cunningham says he explained that to the trooper and produced an official copy of the expungement and said the bottom of the record that showed his conviction should end with the word "closed."

The trooper "advised she was aware of the expungement statute and its implications, but that she could not accept the certified copy of the expungement order because it could be a fake," court records say.”
