Anyone had any experience of trying to ask for news stories about their offence to be removed after their conviction is spent?

I suspect that once it's out there you don't have any realistic chance of it not being somewhere on the net, but if it shouldn't be disclosed then surely it should be removed from say the bbc news site and other places that would support non disclosure and human rights?

I would worry that asking them to do it might have a negative effect and they might report on it
