Once it's expunged you are in a whole different ballgame of "disclosure" but until you file for expungement, it is processed by the court system and formally removed, expect to answer for it in one way or another.

Expungement means different things under different conditions.
In Georgia, the local arresting agency will "expunge"/destroy fingerprint cards and photographs, the state will "seal" the information for non-criminal justice purposes and the courts can do either or nothing.
I tell folks EVERY DAY that it may be possible for employers, "third-party companies, and regular folks to get the information from the courts. etc.
Also, once websites like Mugshots.com get the info, you have to deal with them on a case-by-case basis.
