Brandon Records and Florida Public Records Law
Brandon arrest records are public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. This law requires that all state, county, and municipal records be open for inspection and copying. Section 119.01 says each agency has a duty to provide access. You can request Brandon mugshots anonymously. No name or reason is needed.
Some records are exempt. Section 119.071(4)(d) protects photographs of active and former law enforcement officers who file a written confidentiality request. Victim details in sexual offense cases are confidential under Section 119.071(4)(h). For most Brandon arrests though, the booking photo and all charge information are fully public and available to anyone.
Copy fees for Brandon arrest records follow the state standard. Single-sided pages cost 15 cents. Double-sided pages are 20 cents. Certified copies run up to $1.00 each.
Removing Brandon Arrest Records
To get a Brandon arrest off your public record, you need a court order through the FDLE seal and expunge process. Section 943.059 covers sealing, which hides the record from public view. Section 943.0585 covers expungement, which destroys the record. The application fee is $75 by money order to FDLE, and processing takes about 12 weeks.
Reach the seal and expunge section at 850-410-7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. Once the order goes through, HCSO removes the Brandon arrest from their inquiry system. Private mugshot websites may still have copies and are not required to take them down after a court order.
Note: Not all Brandon arrests qualify for sealing or expungement under Florida law.
