The future of criminal records

Now, states across the country are tackling this issue by making it easier to erase or expunge those crimes from their record. Michigan is the first state that will soon enact the country's most expansive expungement law. Plus, Washington takes on Gamestop. And, America’s new can't-do attitude.
