Can Anyone Get a Juvenile Police Report?

Question

I was 17 when I was charged with Misdemeanor Battery. I was wondering if the police report or any documents be released to anyone even though I was a juvenile? My case has been dismissed and expunged. Can someone still get a hold of a police report from back then? I was charged in 2005 and dismissed in 2006.

Well thanks for all the info it is very useful to me thank you!

In Illinois and some other states 17 is an adult. If you were processed as an adult in your state the public information (court info) was picked up by private data bases. Even if expunged the info will be in there forever. The police report is not.

If in your state 17 is a juvenile then the court information is not open to the public and no legitimate data base has it. Police cannot give out juvenile arrest data or reports, except under subpoena. If the record was truly expunged your arrest report is gone. The police report that went with the original case still exists but your name would be redacted before it would be given out to anyone because of the juvenile status at the time of arrest.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aOhzb

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Answer 7

Juvenile records are sealed unless a judge orders them open. This means that nothing you did as a juvenile is public domain unless a judge orders your records to be. That only happens in extreme cases when there is need to know what the adult did as a juvenile.

Answer 8

Generally, expunged means that the record is destroyed. Check the expungement order signed by the judge and see if the court ordered the police department to expunge their record. If it was expunged by the police department, no one can obtain a copy from the police department.

I doubt that your police report ever was disclosed publicly. Although juvenile records are generally not available to everyone, they can be read by police and other law enforcement agencies, social services agencies, probation departments, and courts. So a copy may be out there somewhere but would be very difficult to find.

Answer 9

First, there is a statue of limitations on most crimes except for murder and rape. Assuming you did not commit the latter two, then there is a maximum period of time that district attorney can wait to prosecute you. These statutes of limitations are listed in each states laws (you can find them on line, or at the library). If they wait to prosecute and the limit has passed then they are barred from doing so. I would assume that the d.a. knows the limit on this charge and is busy with other prosecutions and will get to it in due time. He is probally stringing the defense attorney along and acting like he has not received paperwork from the police. The police had to submit arrest reports the minute they took you to booking, so I doubt that part of the story is correct. He is just stalling because he can.

Answer 10

Police reports are public documents, though some material may be crossed-out - like home addresses, personal information of some or all on the document, etc. - which is not ultimately pertinent. You will need to contact the police department where the report was filed to find out the steps needed to obtain the document.
