Lakeville Booking Data Laws
Lakeville 72 hour booking data falls under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. Statute 13.82 classifies arrest data as public. Public data includes the name, age, sex, and address of the arrested adult, plus the time, date, place, and charges. You do not need to say who you are to get this data.
Statute 641.05 requires the Dakota County Sheriff to maintain a register of all persons committed to the jail. This register is public. It includes the name, reason for commitment, and the dates of confinement. Statute 13.85 covers corrections data, keeping custody status and charges public while restricting juvenile records and certain investigative data.
The Dakota County warrant search is another tool for checking if someone has an active arrest order. The warrant search page lets you look up active warrants by name. This is separate from the booking records but related to the arrest process.
The warrant search shows active arrest warrants in Dakota County. If someone has a warrant, they may be booked into the jail upon arrest.
