Seattle is making major changes in the Law. Not only did they stop persecuting marijuano possession back in 2010 but they are now filing a motion to dismiss the charges and vacate convictions from 1997 till 2010. The motion has to go through a court approval but once all has been said there will be 542 convictions erased! The mayor Jenny A. Durkan and Attorney Pete Holmes says these convictions and misdemeanors have a negative affect on a person’s unemployment opportunities, education options, government benefits, travel and immigration status.
