Port St. Lucie Booking Record Laws
Florida Statute 119.07 protects your right to look at and copy public records, including booking data from Port St. Lucie. The online search is free. Physical copies from the county may have a small fee attached. Always use official government portals when searching for booking records. There are third-party sites out there, but the county sheriff's office is the only source you can trust for accurate, up-to-date data.
Some booking information may be restricted under Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c). This applies when the data is tied to an active investigation. Details may be held back until the case moves forward. The charges you see on a booking record are not a conviction. That only happens in court. Florida Statute 901.43 also protects booking photos from being used by sites that charge for removal. If anyone asks you to pay to take down a Port St. Lucie booking photo, that is against the law.
