You think publishing DUIs is bad? In Oregon, if you get a DUI, you can
never have that arrest expunged from your record--even if the DA decides not to press charges or you're found not guilty. This has turned out to be a nasty can of worms in my community, as we had a power-hungry cop who gave out hundreds of DUIs without any evidence--he even arrested a friend of mine (who was completely stone-cold sober at the time).
