Amador County Booking Report Laws

Under the California Public Records Act, Amador County booking reports are public records. Government Code Section 7923.600 requires law enforcement to release certain booking data to anyone who asks. That includes the person's full name, occupation, charges, bail, arrest and booking times, and which facility holds them. You don't need a special reason or authorization to get this data from Amador County.

Full criminal histories are a separate matter. Penal Code Section 13300 restricts access to comprehensive criminal records. Those are only available through the California DOJ with fingerprints and a $25 processing fee. But a single Amador County booking report, covering one arrest event, is freely available to the public. The distinction is important when you are trying to figure out what you can and cannot get from the Amador County Sheriff's Office.
