    I practice traffic law in Virginia, but am very familiar with the Florida driving record. Florida will post an out of state conviction and assess points. Recommend GA representation to mitigate and thus avoid points being reported back to FL.

    The key is did the Judge "make a finding that the evidence was sufficient for guilt." If so, then you cannot expunge the arrest from the record. The expungement statute is intended for the truly innocent and if the Judge made a "finding that the evidence was sufficient" to find you guilty, even though s/he later dismissed on other grounds, then you are not entitled to expungement under Virginia law.
