Harrisonburg, VA asked in Criminal Law for New Hampshire

Q: A town website refuses to remove my name from an online police log saying it is part of the public record, is this fair?

This situation relates to the state of NH. I have several charges that were nolle prossed, and I'm currently working through the annulment process. One online media outlet has already agreed to remove my name and scrape the meta tag from the Google search, but why won't the town?

A: It may not be fair but it is common practice. if you were found not guilty you can ask for a removal, if that doesn't work then you can ask the court to anul the arrest record.
