Have a perfectly clean background. Work for major companies, have no criminal convictions or anything like that...

However, earlier this year I was wrongfully arrested by the LAPD on a drug possession charge. So wrongfully, in fact, that the presiding judge issued a very rare Declaration of Innocence (the highest possible order that is meant to resolve any doubt someone is guilty). He then ordered the LAPD to seal and ultimately "obliterate" (his word) any records of the arrest and to also notify DOJ, FBI, etc and have them do the same.

Wondering if anyone thinks this will be a problem in my GE application? Will there still be a stigma? Or do they tend to be somewhat forgiving when such things are resolved so favorably? Can even bring such the court order to the LAPD to the interview.

Appreciate any advice.
