How Plantation 72 Hour Booking Works
When the Plantation Police Department arrests someone, the person goes to the Broward County Main Jail for processing. That is where the booking happens. Staff at the jail take fingerprints, capture a mugshot, and enter all the charges into the system. This creates the booking record. It shows up in the county search tool within a few hours of the arrest.
The 72 hour booking report pulls all records from the past three days. It covers Plantation and every other city in Broward County. The list changes as new arrests come in and old ones age past 72 hours. Under Florida Statute 119.01, the booking record is a public document from the time it is created. The state of Florida holds that all county and municipal records must be open for personal review and copying by any person. That applies to every Plantation booking.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office provides free access to inmate searches and booking records online. There is no charge to view the data. If you need official printed copies or certified records, those may have a fee. But the basic search and viewing is free for all Plantation booking records.
Note: Booking records for Plantation are handled by Broward County, not the Plantation Police Department.
Plantation Booking Records and Florida Law
Florida law makes booking records from Plantation public. Florida Statute 119.07 says anyone can inspect and copy public records. You do not need to be from Plantation. You do not need to give a reason. The law is meant to keep government open and transparent. Booking records fall squarely under this rule.
Some records have limits. Under Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c), active investigation data can be held back from the public. If a Plantation arrest is part of a bigger case, some details may not be available in the booking record. Juvenile arrests are kept private under Florida Statute 985.04. You will not find records for minors in the Broward County booking search.
Under Florida Statute 901.43, it is against the law to charge a fee for removing a booking photo. This targets mugshot websites that post photos and then ask for money to take them down. The booking photo from a Plantation arrest is a public record, but no one should demand payment for its removal.
