I think there are serious problems with this, especially with due process. But this is the reason I can see them doing it.

What's most likely going to happen is that people who were originally charged with something higher (dealing, manufacturing, etc) but took a plea deal for possession will not have their records expunged.

Cops don't handle pleas though. That's the DA. You can't "plea guilty" to a cop. You can admit guilt, and it can come up in court, but that's not a plea.
