California Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Maintaining the safety and security of a widely populous state like California is definitely not an easy task. Police and other arresting individuals or groups definitely have their hands full with their duty to protect innocent civilians. In an attempt to improve the safety and security in California, the government has given the general public the right to procure arrest files. Arrest files are maintained at a countywide, statewide and nationwide level. If you do not know where to begin your search, you can go to the office of the Public Records Ombudsman and submit a request. If you are after Sonoma Arrest Records, you can head to the office-in-charge of the county's arrest files which is at the Superior Court of California County of Sonoma.

Anyone can submit a request for the files because they are deemed as part of the public domain but corresponding guidelines must be observed. There are fees that must be paid for the retrieval of the files and are usually paid by money order or by check. After submitting your request, you must wait for a couple of weeks before results are returned. Once your request is accepted, no refund will be issued even if the files you requested for are not found. Also, if a case is still under investigation, its files will not be released to the public.

An arrest document is part of a criminal document. People that run background checks on other people can find a lot of useful details from criminal documents. Some of the details that you can find include the name of the arrested person, physical attributes, when and where the offense took place, description of the offense, and other similar details.

It is a standard operating procedure that an arrest document is created under an arrested person's name even if he or she is not put to jail. Luckily, an arrested person can choose to expunge his or his own arrest document but only if he or she is not proven guilty and the case is dismissed.

Normally, you can locate arrest files at where they were first filed but you can also get them from certain websites. There are various sites that are involved in supplying them to the public but not all of them are able to give credible and reliable information. So before you use the services of a certain site, be sure to check if they have a respectable track record in providing arrest files.

The pieces of information that you will find on Arrest Records are very useful but are also delicate. That is why you must be careful with how you intend to use them. You can use them as a source of reference to know the background of the people you and your love ones are associated with. However, it is prohibited to use the files to purposely aim at another person without a valid reason. Corresponding penalties will be imposed by the court for violators.
