I&#x27;ve always struggled with the concept and purpose of a &#x27;sealed&quot; record.  It&#x27;s like the justice system is trying to have its cake and eat it too -- they want to keep a record that someone went through a judicial process, but the details must not be revealed?  Why not just wipe the record and replace it with some sort of generic &quot;John Doe had a legal proceeding on date X&quot;?
