From what I hear,
CAL is one of the worst states for selling your info to online data background companies. (which refer & give links back to county data websites)
right away local court websites publish info including all kinds of personal details, physical description, eye color weight,
They do this almost instantly...even before you get a chance to defend yourself
& If you are found NOT guilty...it will be up there too..
IF you take a plea the original charge will be disclosed too.
It is really really damaging...because it creates prejudice.
I think this should be illegal espially if found NOT guilty.
It is getting so bad they are publishing even parking tickets...all to make a buck
this stuff needs to be illegal
