- dragonwriter 13y agoTrue; the main purpose of the Petition/Declaration of Factual Innocence seems to be to seal (and eventually expunge) arrest/prosecution records and legally allow a person to answer "No" to whether they have ever been arrested or charged with a crime, and it applies to arrests even where no charges were ever filed.
