Offenders who thought their records were sealed or expunged might want to think again, thanks to data mining. Criminal defense attorneys, privacy rights experts and civil rights lawyers say they're increasingly concerned that data mining companies are obtaining and posting criminal records that were supposed to be expunged from official records. But others say that, in the age of computerized data bases and the Internet, no one should have any expectation of privacy about their records.

In 1999, a 20-year old college student was arrested for petty theft in Miami-Dade County after stealing a shirt from J.C. Penney.
Like most first-time offenders, the young man completed a pretrial diversionary program, performed community service, paid a fine and got his case dismissed. The record was expunged. He never got into any more trouble with the law.
