Bartlett Booking Record Laws

Bartlett 72 hour booking records are public under the Tennessee Public Records Act. Any Tennessee citizen can view them during business hours. You do not have to give a reason. In-person viewing costs nothing. Copies have a fee.

After arrest, Tennessee law says the person must appear before a judge without unnecessary delay. That usually means within 48 hours on a weekday. Weekends and holidays can push it to 72 hours. During that first hearing, the judge reviews probable cause, tells the person what charges they face, and sets bail. All of these steps produce records that go into the Bartlett booking file. Tenn. Code Ann. 40-7-103 lists the legal grounds for warrantless arrests in Tennessee. If an officer has probable cause, they can arrest on the spot. That starts the booking clock for Bartlett cases.

Juvenile records, sealed cases, and active investigation files are not public. Tenn. Code Ann. 10-7-504 lists those exemptions. Everything else from a standard adult Bartlett arrest is open to the public.
