Roseville Booking Law
California requires all booking records to be public. Government Code 7923.610 lists what must be released. The law covers the full name, date of birth, charges, bail amount, physical description, arrest time and date, booking time and date, and custody location. Placer County and Roseville PD both follow this law. You do not need to give a reason for requesting booking data.
Penal Code 851.5 gives people who are booked the right to make phone calls. Each person gets at least three free calls within three hours of being booked. The calls can go to a lawyer, bail agent, or family member. The jail cannot charge for or block these calls. This applies at every detention facility in the state, including the Placer County jail.
If a records request is denied, the California Public Records Act lets you challenge the denial. For recent Roseville bookings, the online tools usually have what you need without a formal request.
