[quote=Anonymous]A few months ago I got a ticket for going 6mph over the speed limit on the PA Turnpike. The ticketing officer said he bumped it down from a speeding ticket to a ticket for failure to follow the rules of the Turnpike. I paid the ticket in a timely manner and thought that was that.  However I’ve since noticed that when you Google my name a Pennsylvania court document comes up that lists the ticketing officer as an “arresting officer,” and other things that make the infraction seem more serious than it was. It references sentencing, my guilty plea, lists my full name, date of birth, city and zip code, refers to me as a defendant, etc. While it lists the section of the PA code I was ticketed under it does so under a section titled “Charges.” It doesn’t note the underlying facts, namely that I was going 6 mph over the speed limit. It does, however, reflect that I paid my fine. Would it make sense to write the clerk of the court that issued this document and ask whether they can take it offline?  I don’t want people, potential employers for example, to Google me and incorrectly assume I was arrested and charged with a crime. [/quote]
