Police reports are public record all you have to do is ask.\n\nPhotos and other physcial evidence are seldom keep more than a year or so, if a case is not going to trial and there is no need for it.  \n\nActually most departments would not even take photos, pleasse understand it does not happen in real life in most small town America like you see on those CSI shows on tv

I don't know what state you live in, but when you file a complaint that is later investigated in most states the complainant can not be identified by the police, your friends are yanking your chain.  All the police do is send over an officer to measure the decible level, then they knock on the door and say they just measured the decible level and it exceeds the city's ordinance.  If they don't turn down the noise the by-law officer or the police officer then can file charges based on their measurement of the decible level alone.

Speak with an attorney in your area.  Honestly, your story makes no sense.  IF a charge was on your background check, then an arrest was already made.  IF you actually allowed yourself to be arrested for a crime you did not commit, then you deserve all the crap you are getting.  For you to know the man pressing charges, against another person with your name has to be a joke.  FOr you to go with him and allow yourself to be arrested for nothing, is even more of a joke.  With your "arrest" you had to have received paperwork which indicates when the Court would hear your case.\n\nI had a warrant come up in my name at a traffic stop, but with a different Social, DOB and address.  The police officer simply pulled up a picture of that suspect, looked at me, and crossed of the warrant.  (Apparently, that suspect was black, and I am white.)  I feel there are many details you are leaving out, so I suggest you contact an attorney in your area.\n\nBesides, if your background check showed an arrest, 2 years prior, have the compaintant get a copy of the disposition of that case.  It would show the charges, date of trial, result (guilty/not guilty), the sentence handed down and whether or not said sentence was served.

I'm pretty sure that it's a Federal Law that a person has to be released after 24 hours. It's not unheard of for the police to say " you were free to leave at any time" as an excuse for holding a person longer.

Generally, it's a 93 day misdemeanor.  Here's a little blurb from the statute:\n\n257.625(10) A person who is convicted of violating subsection (2) is guilty of a crime as follows: \n\n(a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not less than $100.00 or more than $500.00, or both.\n\nThere are a few questions, however.  First, was this car your son's car?  If not, was he "in charge" of the car at the time he gave her control of it?  Second, did he "authorize or knowingly permit" her to drive the car?  Third, and most importantly, was he aware that she was intoxicated when he permitted her to drive the car?  If it took the police officer more than few minutes to determine that she was intoxicated after the cop had her perform field sobriety tests and a breath test, it's unlikely your son would have been able to determine that she was drunk from a layperson's perceptive. \n\nThe issues that arise in these cases are next to impossible.  Unless your son freely admitted to the police that he knew she drunk and let her drive anyway, they'll have an uphill battle, especially if an attorney files a discovery request.  I haven't seen many of these cases, even though I only do DUI defense.  It's rare to see one of these cases prosecuted because of the difficulties the prosecutors encounter.  \n\nWilliam Maze

It depends, if you were a juvenile, and you pleaded guilty, went to court apologized, its called a juvenile record. Something like stealing...it depends on what she stole...if it was a lot of mooney, then don't count on it being taken off. But if it was a petty thing, and she didn't run from the cops, or lie about it, it'll come off within a year / 18 years old.

Depending on what state you're in ... you will probably get a fine. If you are over 18 - but under 21, you may wind up with some community service and a record. If you are under 18, it should be sealed.

Depending on what state and what you were charged with it disappears from your record after a certain amount of years.  I know here in Illinois it's 7 to 10 years.  But if you are going for a job such as with the federal government they will know even if it has been removed or not.

you have to look at the limitations of actions act. Usually, you have around 6 years - but this varies from state to state.\n\nAlso, the longer you take, the less reliable people's memories are and the harder it is to track them down. So even though you may be within the time limits, you may have evidentiary problems if you wait SIX years.\n\nFinally, you have a case regardless of whether the cop wrote/didn't write a ticket.\n\nAlso are you prepared to go through the pain of going through court? it might cost a lot more money than the damage toyour car. Hope this helps.

This link is a sucessful dismissal of testimony by a police officer that a defendant "apeared" intoxicated.  I would only add that the possibilities for the empty container are endless.  I accidently carried a bag of trash away from a cookout one day. It was a nasty used paper plate and several old empty beverage cans...

The police can detain any person at any time for reasonable cause and you can be held under suspicoun until you have been cleared or charged.  I believe there is a 72 hour limit on how long they may hold you till they must either free or charge you.

You will have an arrest on your record showing the charge.  It will also show the case disposition (dismissed,acquitted,etc.).  The length of time it stays on your record varies by state.  You may be able to have your arrest record expunged or set aside.  Contact an attorney for more information.

You can't. After a number of years you can get your record sealed - depending on the offense, but it is never truly sealed. Governmental agencies have access should they need it. Even if it's a juvenile record.

Sorry Smokey but you are wrong. If you have a conviction, and I had one at 14 years of age, it stays on your record at the Criminal records office for life. It is not however referred to after 7 years as this comes under the spent convictions tab under the rehabilitation of offenders act so you do not have to disclose it. If however you appear in court at a later date after the 7 years they can bring it up in court. I know this to be 100% correct. Hope it helps.

I worked at a daycare for 5 years but I am in a different state and am not sure if the same rules and regs apply there.  If there was an incident report filed it would be at the center.  We had to keep all records for at least 10 years.  If the police were called to the center to help handle the situation there should be some way of getting a report from the station.  Call the center and ask the director and call the police station and ask how long they keep reports on file.  I wish you luck.

When I was MUCH younger my boyfriend and I were messing in a parked car when all the sudden a bright light shined in the window. It was a police officer. He was nice enough to turn his back while we dressed. All the boyfriend could say is------but we didn't go all the way to the cop. I guess he was concerned because he was 25 and I was a minor. Then the cop asked for the registration for the car so I opened the glove box to get it and out fell an opened bottle of whiskey. The boyfriend got a ticket for parking in the park after hours and we both got a lecture/warning. The next day my father asked me how my evening was and wasn't his friend officer ***** a nice guy.    Handled with much difficulty then but think it's funny now. Nothing lasts forever.
