Booking reports from Westfield are public records under Indiana law. The Access to Public Records Act, found at IC 5-14-3, says that anyone can inspect and copy public records during normal business hours. You do not have to say why you want them. The agency cannot turn you down just because you refuse to give a reason for your request.
IC 5-14-3-5 is the key section for booking reports in Westfield. It says that when someone gets arrested, the agency must share the person's name, age, and address. The charges behind the arrest must also be made public. The time and place of the arrest, plus the arresting officer and agency, are all part of what must be disclosed. When someone enters the Hamilton County jail after a Westfield arrest, the jail must release the reason for holding them, the booking date and time, and the bail or bond amount if one has been set.
Under IC 5-14-3-8, fees for copies are capped at $0.10 per page for standard copies. Color copies can cost up to $0.25 per page. A certified copy of a Westfield booking report may cost up to $5 extra per document. The agency must respond to your request within seven days under IC 5-14-3-9.
