Rancho Cucamonga Arrest Record Laws

California law sets what arrest info is public. Basic facts about arrests are usually available. Names, charges, and dates can be released. Investigation details have more protection. Active cases are mostly exempt.

The California Public Records Act governs local agencies. The sheriff must respond to requests within 10 days. They can extend the time if needed. Simple requests come back faster. Complex ones take more time to process.

Employers face limits on using arrest records. The Fair Chance Act restricts when companies can ask about criminal history. Most cannot inquire on job applications. They wait until after offering the job conditionally. This gives applicants a fair chance before backgrounds run.

Arrests that do not lead to conviction may be sealed. Under Penal Code 851.91, you can petition the court. If granted, the arrest does not show on most public searches. Law enforcement keeps access. Talk to a lawyer about eligibility.
