Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

My understanding is that when the charges and gun ban were filed with the FBI/DOJ database, they became part of your permanent record, there to stay. Sealing the juvy court record later would not 'delete' the FBI/DOJ records, it just means no one can look at the juvy records now. Such FBI/DOJ records can be 'corrected' if they are wrong, but that is not your situation. They were 'correct' when filed, and you name added to the 'prohibited persons' category list. You need to understand that the reason and policy why 'records' are kept is to allow law enforcement, courts, and others to know your background. Juvy 'sealing' helps you in employment and similar issues. If you could 'change' your record just because it was harmful to careers, it wouldn't be a very informative or useful system. I believe your only option is to try to file a motion with the juvy court to try get a court order reducing the gun ban term. I wouldn't place high hopes on that. First, you already sealed them, and the court may not allow reopening. Second, even if reopened, you would have to convince the court they were justified and compelled to grant you some form of 'extraordinary' relief based upon substantial 'cause'. That is a difficult challenge to meet. Your most likely outcome is that you are going to have to disclose and explain the gun ban on any application for state professional licensing, for law enforcement employment, for security clearances or bonding, etc.
