Is it legal to distribute public criminal records to other individuals?

I recently had some criminal charges pressed against me in Maryland. There is a public site where anyone can go and see these charges: you, your friends, my friends, my mother, etc. Well, someone emailed the link to about 40 friends of mine on myspace. I think it was the person that filed the charges on me. Can they get away with this even though the record is a public record? Now everyone in my hometown knows that I have been charged with prurient intent (not a minor).Is it legal to distribute public criminal records to other individuals?
What part of "public records" don't you understand. They are available to the public. No damage was done to you by someone posting a link to the information on MySpace. You caused the damage to yourself when you did whatever it was you did to be charged with a crime.
no that is why they are called PUBLIC! you have an IQ of 162? hahah well it doesn't show here. Any one can pull of anything when it is a PUBLIC criminal record. People have the right to know what you have done, including employers, and well the PUBLIC. It also lets anyone in the world know if you have been convicted for crimes such as child molestation, hopefully thats not you.Is it legal to distribute public criminal records to other individuals?
Perfectly legal.



These records are made public so that everyone has the ability to see what crimes their friends and neighbors may have committed. Bringing the records to someones attention is completely legal.

Your record is public and sending a copy of it or a link to it is not breaking any laws.



If you want your record sealed, follow the procedures for doing that in the courts of Maryland.
The records are public usually categorized by name, DOB %26amp; location. It is against any rules for someone to do what they did.
