Water level (device) A water level is a device used for matching elevations of locations that are too far apart for a spirit level to span. The simplest water level is a section of clear tubing, partially filled with water. Water is easily procured for use, and easily discarded after use.
In Massachusetts sealing a record can be a complicated process. Massachusetts General Laws allow for two different ways to seal records. Records can sometimes be sealed by making a direct petition to the Commissioner of Probation.
There are waiting periods to bring a petition to seal a criminal record in Massachusetts which depend upon the type of case, particularly if a conviction is involved. Generally, the waiting period for a misdemeanor conviction is 10 years and, for felony convictions, it is 15 years.
