Busted Mugshots and Minnesota Law
Mugshots are public data under Minnesota law. Minn. Stat. 13.82, subd. 26 says booking photos are available to anyone who requests them. Basic arrest information is public too. The person's name, arrest date, location, and charges can be obtained from the booking agency.
Criminal history data has a 15-year public window. Under Minn. Stat. 13.87, conviction records are public until 15 years after the person completes their sentence. Then the data goes back to private. Arrests that never led to a conviction are generally kept private by the state.
Expungement is available under Minn. Stat. 609A.01. A successful petition seals the record from public search results. The wait depends on the offense. Misdemeanors need two years clean. Gross misdemeanors need three. Some felonies qualify after four or five years. Offenses that require predatory offender registration can never be expunged.
The "Ban the Box" law under Minn. Stat. 364.021 also affects how criminal records are used. Employers in Minnesota cannot ask about criminal history on a job application. They must wait until the applicant gets selected for an interview or receives a conditional offer. The record still exists in public databases, but this law controls when it can come into play during hiring.
