Re: record expunged?
For license suspension and various sentencing purposes, the number of DUI convictions within a five year period is what counts. However, to answer your question specifically, a DUI conviction never drops off your record. This information is available to any court no matter how long ago the conviction occurred.
As to a search of your vehicle, the police must have probable cause to search your vehicle, or it must be a search incident to a lawful arrest, or they must have your consent.
