72 Hour Booking Access Under Ohio Law

Ohio law makes booking records public. Under ORC § 149.43, you can request records from any public office without giving your name or reason. The office must respond promptly. If they deny your request, they have to explain why in writing. You can file a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims if you think the denial was wrong.

Some records are exempt from release. Medical files, probation records, and certain law enforcement investigatory records may be held back. But the basic 72 hour booking record with the name, charge, date, and identifying details is always public. The Ohio Attorney General's Sunshine Laws Manual covers your rights in more detail. The Bureau of Criminal Investigation handles statewide background checks through WebCheck, which is separate from county booking records.
