Shasta County Booking Record Laws

California Government Code Section 7923.600 requires the Shasta County Sheriff to release booking data when it is requested. This includes the full name, charges, bail amount, arrest time, and custody location of anyone booked into the county jail. The law applies to all 58 California counties including Shasta County. You do not need to explain why you want the information or prove any connection to the case.

Full criminal histories are different from single booking reports. Penal Code Section 13300 limits who can see full criminal history records. Those are restricted to law enforcement and authorized agencies. But a single Shasta County booking report for one arrest event is always available to the public. If you need your own complete criminal history, you must go through the California DOJ with fingerprints and a $25 processing fee.

Sealing Shasta County Arrest Records

People booked in Shasta County can petition to seal their arrest records if the case did not end in a conviction. Penal Code Section 851.91 covers this process. Once sealed, the Shasta County booking report will not appear in public record searches. The petition goes through the local court in Shasta County. People found factually innocent can go further under Penal Code Section 851.8 and have records sealed and eventually destroyed.
