In 2011 I was arrested and convicted for resisting and evading arrest. I was 20, I did a dumb thing one night and I haven't even had a speeding ticket since then.

Fast forward to a few months ago. I've been in the military almost 10 years. All the sudden, I'm being stopped at the base gate. I've learned there is a red banner under my name that says "VIOLENT PERSON". It references my previous arrest in 2011. Apparently my hometown recently upgraded to a new online criminal database.

For the past 2 months I've been trying to figure out why I'd be considered violent. Turns out, it's not a mistake. The FBI maintains a file called the Violent Person File and resisting or evading arrest qualifies to be on there forever until whatever agency put me on there takes it off.

This VPF notifies law enforcement that they are dealing with someone who may act violently towards them.

This strikes me as incredibly dangerous. Now, whenever I interact with the police, they will see that I'm labeled as violent. I am frightened now for obvious reasons.

After research, I don't think my charge can be expunged. It can only be nondisclosed which doesn't help because law enforcement can still see nondisclosed cases. So, for the rest of my life, a police officer's first impression of me will be that I'm a threat. How is this just?

What do I do?

Thanks in advance.
