I do agree that it's a step in the right direction and will help some people. For many of our constituents, given their level of education, how much they read and what they do in life, I think it would be a lot more helpful if it were automatic.
I've had people in court ask if they had a criminal record. They had gone to court and paid a fine, for example, for possession of marijuana, and thought they did not have a criminal record, because they didn't go to jail.
