Arrest records are generally documentations of any custody taken in by law enforcers including military authorities on grounds of a criminal charge. They are considered as a public record and unlike some types of records; there are no restrictions to the use of this information. This has made it one of the most accessible and widely used public records in any database.
But in cases where juveniles are concerned, there are laws that protect these kinds of information and are considered strictly confidential. Arrest records are commonly used in the employment process and even as additional security measures for private citizens. In cases of employment, job applicants have the right to decline from giving away any information regarding his/her arrest records without the danger of having the job application dismissed.
How can one have access to arrest records?
Free information can be acquired from your local police department and even from the FBI (through written requests). Fees, if there are any, would probably be cheap and affordable. Aside from government offices, arrest records can also be accessed in the Internet who similarly offer both free and paid services depending on the information that you need.
