privacy arrest
Is personal information of arrestees published publicly?
<p>Is personal information (e.g., names, address, phone number, past residences, etc.) of arrestees published publicly? Are arrest records public at all? If so, how would they be found?</p>

<p>Generally speaking arrest records are open and made available to the public. Except in the case of an ongoing investigation. In which case the rules vary by state.</p>

<p>The details of what's available also vary by location.</p>

<p>I would begin searching by going to the courthouse or police station if you know it. And inquiring with the clerk. If you want a broad search on a specific individual, you can do a criminal background check which sweeps multiple databases of many jurisdictions simultaneously.</p>
