lol so many records that should have been destroyed and not indexable! so do I get a court order for each county, the website, the resyndicating source that the website uses or what? I looked at the reddit page and other people noticed the same thing, the author just said send me the link! Hahaha one by one removal maybe! Shut it down, enjoy it while it lasts

I don't think you understand what you're talking about. There are many databases that are made up of public records. Many aren't free, some are.

  That may be the reality but if the court or due process ordered something expunged from a record it should be updated in all records and the details not present. Should just do a search for expunged or similar terms and remove those entries.

> lol so many records that should have been destroyed and not indexable! You want secret courts?

  Do you want things that children do to follow them for the rest of their lives?

    I don't know what culture you come from, but in the US and UK and similarly influenced cultures justice being seen to be done and recorded is a pretty important principle and mechanism against overreach of the state.

      I agree. But it's worth noting that the UK has recently enacted the Right to be Forgotten Law, which plays into this discussion.

        Of course, once data is replicated and distributed around, it's very hard to put the genie back into the bottle.

      There are significant limits to that, such as juvenile courts.
  - tshaddox 6y ago
    Well, no. Are there names of minors in this database? I thought the US had a mechanism to prevent that, or at least to petition to have records of minors removed or anonymized.
    - lazyasciiart 6y ago
      Yes. The mechanisms are shit. Many of these cases are juvenile cases with a note saying the case is sealed, along with full details of the charge, name, and outcome. Edit: wow, plus family court stuff like a four year custody dispute, kids being adopted, etc

      "The US" has 39,044 distinct local governments and municipalities and they all do their procedural nuances differently and to varying efficacy and different points in time! :D

    The following itself is not the issue right?

  they weren't secret and were available for public perusal and judgement until the designated time secret courts have cases that are secret from the beginning
