How can I find out if I have been charged with a crime in San Francisco?

Question

Hi,

I was at a bar in San Francisco and I blacked out (I think I may have been drugged as this is every uncharacteristic of me) - I know I was taken to the hospital by the police and they gave me a form that said I was released to the hospital on a 647-F (RWS) which I understand means release when sober - I don't think they gave me a formal citation but I wanted to find out for sure, does anyone have any suggestions? When I called the police station, they said they couldn't give that info out but that because it said RWS that is an indication that there was no formal citation - does anyone know if that is true? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Answer 1

Go to the local precinct with a valid ID or license, ask the person at the desk if you can speak to an officer about checking if there are any warrants pending for you.

OR

Wait about five days and go to the PD record office and ask if they have any reports with your namefrom that night and if you could get a copy. Also have your ID and 5 to 10 dollars for the copy.

Good luck and ONLY drink from cans that you opened in dark bars

Answer 2

WHAT YOU SAY AND YOUR RELEASE-PROBABLY NOTHING WAS DONE FOR A CHARGE?SEARCHING LAW ONLY CALIFORNIA-NOTHING-SO THIS IS A SAN FRANCISCO MATTER AND THUS THE WAY TO FIND OUT IS TO WRITE TO THE CLERK OF THE COURTS C/O SAN FRANCISCO COURTS-SAN FRANCISCO CAL AND RELATE THE ABOVE AND ASK IF ANY CHARGES WERE PREFERRED??

Answer 3

If you are charged with a crime, there would be a warrant out for your arrest. Is there a warrant out for your arrest? If not, you haven't been charged... yet.

Answer 4

Maybe they have a website with warrants posted that you could check.

You already have the answer. You're not being charged with anything.
