I added some more information to my previous answer about your disorderly conduct. Anyway, a sealed record means it will not be visible to anyone except police or government. So basically if you are filling out a job application and it says "have you ever been convicted of a crime" you would answer "no" - you were never convicted. However, if you apply for a law enforcement job - it asks "have you ever been arrested" - you will have to answer "yes". You were arrested, but not convicted. You really should never have a problem with this disorderly conduct - my husband has a "sealed" disorderly conduct and he has a government job. Most people are looking for serious things - DWI, any kind of abuse, drugs, etc... But a disorderly conduct should not ever be a problem for you.

A sealed record is one that a court has ordered be closed and not allowed to be viewed or copied. The only way to get access to the record is to have permission from the court that ordered them sealed, or to have a higher court order them unsealed.
It does not mean that the record has been destroyed.

That only the top people in law enforcement can see it...i think.

That noone is supposed to read it, but it's untrue and anyone can know anything now.
