What Hall County Booking Records Contain
A Hall County booking record includes the person's full legal name, date of birth, booking date, all charges filed at intake, the arresting agency, and bond amount if set. The inmate list also shows current custody status. Under Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the sheriff is required to maintain these records as a public docket.
Booking photos are taken at intake. Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 restricts commercial use of mugshots by third parties. Individuals may seek removal of their photos from commercial websites under conditions the statute specifies. Law enforcement agencies can still share photos for legitimate official purposes.
Charges in a booking record come from the arresting officer. The district attorney reviews the case afterward and can change or drop charges. For the full case record, check with the Hall County Superior Court clerk. The Superior Court is part of the Northeastern Judicial Circuit.
