Busted Mugshots and Indiana Public Records

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, gives everyone the right to see records held by government agencies. This law applies to the Cass County Sheriff's Office. Booking photos and arrest records are covered. The law says that all records not excepted from disclosure must be made available for inspection and copying.

Some records can be withheld. IC 5-14-3-4 gives agencies discretion over certain investigatory records. But the basic facts of an arrest are public. If you make a request and the Cass County Sheriff's Office denies it, they must tell you why in writing and cite the specific exception. You can appeal the decision to the Indiana Public Access Counselor, who handles complaints about denied records requests statewide.

Note: Indiana law also covers photographs as public records, which means booking photos (busted mugshots) fall under the same access rules as written documents.
