Booking Record Laws in Hernando County

Florida's public records law is one of the broadest in the nation. Florida Statute 119.01 opens all government records to the public unless there is a specific exemption. Booking records in Hernando County fall squarely under this rule. They are public from the moment they are created. The sheriff's office cannot refuse to show you a booking record without citing a valid legal reason.

Florida Statute 901.43 protects people from mugshot removal scams. It is against the law to charge someone money to take down a booking photo. This law targets websites that post arrest photos from places like Hernando County and then demand payment for removal. If you find such a site, you can report it to the FDLE Office of General Counsel.

Exemptions exist for certain types of records. Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) allows law enforcement to keep active investigation details private. This means some parts of a case file may not be available yet, even though the booking record is public. Florida Statute 985.04 makes juvenile records confidential. Anyone under 18 booked in Hernando County will not appear on the public 72 hour report. These are specific exceptions that do not change the general rule of openness for adult booking records.

Note: Never use third-party sites for bail payments in Hernando County. Always go through official channels.
