Daytona Beach Mugshots Under Florida Law

Booking photos from Daytona Beach arrests are public records. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes makes this clear. Anyone can inspect and copy government records, which includes mugshots and arrest reports. The law says providing access is a duty of each agency, and automation should not reduce that right.

There are some exceptions to know about. Section 119.071(4)(d) exempts photographs of active or former law enforcement personnel from public disclosure when they file a written request. This came up in a case involving the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, where a deputy's booking photo was withheld after a confidentiality request was submitted. The same protection applies in Volusia County. Section 119.071(4)(h) also makes victim photos from sexual offenses confidential and exempt from public access.

Section 119.105 of the Florida Statutes says police reports are public records. But exempt information in those reports cannot be used for commercial solicitation of crime victims. This applies to Daytona Beach arrest reports just like anywhere else in the state.

Expunging Daytona Beach Arrest Records

If you were arrested in Daytona Beach and the charges were dismissed or you were acquitted, you may be eligible to seal or expunge the record. Both processes go through the FDLE Seal and Expunge Section. The fee is $75 paid by money order. Processing takes about 12 weeks.

Sealing under Section 943.059 hides the record from public view. Courts and law enforcement still have access. Expunging under Section 943.0585 physically destroys the record. FDLE retains only a confidential version for limited purposes. Contact FDLE at 850-410-7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. Keep in mind that removing your Daytona Beach arrest record from official databases does not remove copies from private mugshot websites. Those sites operate independently of the court system.

Note: Private mugshot websites are not required to remove Daytona Beach photos after expungement.
