the frightening part is although your father's record is available to the public, police officers who are caught lying while testifying get to seal the record.
in many jurisdictions, sealing a record is the equivalent of destroying it.
your crimes will haunt you forever because the system never forgets, meanwhile they simply go back to business like it never happened
