if I get arrested and later found not guilty can the police keep my details?

Depends on the state that you live in, but in most states your attorney can ask that your record be "sealed" and your fingerprint files returned to you. The caveat is that copies of all fingerprints are sent to the FBI. These cannot be returned.

You would have to present evidence that you were detained without probable cause in order to have a case. You don't need to prove beyond reasonable doubt, just a preponderence of the evidence as this is a civil matter. It's hard to tell precisely if you would have a case based on your details, but I would guess that you have an uphill climb if it boils down to your word versus theirs. It might be advisable to consult a lawyer about this, but only if you truly feel that this was a case of police abuse of power.

It stays until you get it expunged or you are issued a pardon.  There's a misbelief that crimes drop off your record at certain times.  They don't drop off automaticly, and most will never be able to be expunged or pardoned.

Most criminal history checks reveal every ARREST - not just convictions.  Even if you are arrested for murder and then acquitted, or released because the police realized that you were the wrong person  - that arrest will ALWAYS be on your record.  So your record will reflect any and all arrests, whether misdemeanor or felony.  In most states, you can apply for a copy of your Automated Criminal History at your local law enforcement agency.  There is a fee and you must supply photo ID, but it's a good way to check to see what exactly is on your record.  Should you find any discrepancies, you can petition for their removal, and the local police department should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Negative, it shouldn't be removed. This a sign of your character. They will keep it there forever; because you could be another repeat offender. The odds of you not getting caught, for the other 100 times you most likely stole some other things before you got caught. Answer this: are you only guilty when you get caught? The judges know this, and they see 1000's of cases a year. You can't fool them.

Nope-the police have to submit the information to a court. The court issues a warrant. The person is arrested.

yes.your plate info carries over.they will mail you a ticket or summons by mail

No, it will show up as an arrest and maybe show the outcome. But an arrest is forever.

The Police try to preserve the annominity (?) of informants and there are several systems in place to action this. However, in some circumstances (for exmaple when attempting to gain a warrant from a judge), the judge may require the identity of the sources so he/she can vouch that information being passed has not been made up by the Police. Obviously the judge is subject to data protection act also, so would not disclose the identity of a source.\nUltimately, it is not illegal to reveal identity of informants. Allthough, if an officer was to mention the identity of another person unless absolutely necessary, would be breaching data protection act and could face prosecution.

you should be able to call the local jail or police station and ask. give them the name and the record department should be able to tell you yay or nay.

No they have to check your account of the incident and it would be very unlikely if they arrested the guy on the same day if at all

Bribe a cop to get you the info.\nGood Luck!

you might as well explain ahead of time.  if they look up your record and see something was on there, even though it was pardoned, it will make you look dishonest.\n\nthis happened to me in court.  i was detained by the police, but never arrested and in court the "arrest record" appeared.  i could honestly say i was never arrested or charged with anything, but it made me look dishonest in court, even though i was not.  i forgot to tell my attorney about the incident as it was ten years ago and i wasn't charged.\n\njust best to come clean ahead of time.

Your need to check with your states attorney general office they keep records there and could give you the answer you seek based on your states law

Yes indeed. the officer can cite you later. The legnth of time depends on the state you were pulled over in.\nIn New York it is up to 90 Days.

NCIC does not maintain criminal history files.\n\nYour rap sheet will show the arrest and the court action, along with the disposition of the case.  So it will show that you were arrested and that you were placed on diversion.  It may show that your charges were dismissed upon succesful completion of diversion, but I'm not certain of that.  \n\nYou can obtain a copy of your rap sheet from the Department of Justice for a fee (something else they don't do for free).

No way that I know of. If you aren't a police officer than you can't access that information without paying a set price.... if you find a way then let me know!!!
