Legal records are created whenever a person is in the court system. This includes everything, from paperwork and evidence to court proceedings and dockets.
The problem will come years after you have forgotten all about the court proceedings and dealt, if necessary, with the consequences. All that paperwork can still come back online when data brokers scrape public records.
When you apply for a job, the most common reason is a background check. The candidate review process now includes a background check and a Google search. A Google search of your name will be performed by anyone who wants to learn more about you. What if the results are legal records on DocketBird or other sites?
People have been expelled from the job market or lost jobs because they were named in court filings. This is regardless of whether they were convicted or just a witness.
