Busted Mugshots and Minnesota Law

Minnesota classifies booking photos as public data. Under Minn. Stat. 13.82, subd. 26, anyone can request a copy of a mugshot from the law enforcement agency that took it. Basic arrest data is also public under the same statute. That includes the person's name, the time and place of the arrest, and the charges filed.

Conviction records stay public for 15 years after the person completes their sentence. That rule comes from Minn. Stat. 13.87. After 15 years, the data reverts to private. Records from arrests that did not result in a conviction are generally not available to the public through the BCA search system.

Expungement is an option under Minn. Stat. 609A.01. If a court seals the record, it no longer appears in public databases. The waiting period depends on offense level. Two years for misdemeanors. Three for gross misdemeanors. Four or five years for certain felonies. Not all offenses qualify.
