Hawaii County Laws on 72 Hour Booking Access

Hawaii County 72 Hour Booking records fall under HRS § 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act. The full text sits on the Hawaii Revised Statutes site. Under the act, records are open to the public unless the law closes them. HRS § 92F-13 lists the exceptions that cover personal privacy and live case data.

Arrest data splits into two types. Records that end in a conviction are public. Non-conviction arrest files stay private, per HRS § 846-9. A person can ask for their own file from the state. The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center handles the split at the state level. See the HCJDC site for full rules.

Juvenile arrest info never goes public, no matter the outcome. The daily Media Booking Log does not list juveniles. Any record tied to a juvenile stays closed. The same rule applies across all four Hawaii county agencies.
