An expungement only gets the case dismissed. It will never be erased from your records. CA simply does not permit such.

The ticket was in 2010? License reinstated in 2016.

Nothing is ever erased from your driving record. It might be possible to have the DMV purge it after years- but you recently got license re-instated.

You should fight this ticket- with an attorney representing you. Get your California license before court!!! Cop did nothing illegal.
