Sounds like a stupid idea. It violates equal protection by giving criminals of a specified race a pass on responsibility for their criminal acts. You do the crime, you do the time. The legal system is stuck on stupid of late.

When a country collapses the first thing to go is the legal system.

So to get around that, they just give a committee the power to approve expunging records, and it just so happens that the committee practices affirmative action. You think any administration will give them a hard time about it?

OTOH, I would not mind sealing records for minor felonies if the guy goes five years being employed at something and has no further trouble with the law.
