PUBLIC INTEREST
RAESIDE
Keeping court
records accessible
O
n Jan. 4 of this year, the ministry of the attorney general quietly
introduced a fee structure for accessing criminal court records on-
line.
A charge of $6 would be levied each time a file or document
was opened.
The justification was the recovery of some of the costs associated with
providing the online service, and to discourage frivolous record searches.
For most people, it was an initiative of seemingly little significance, affect-
ing perhaps only those who worked in legal circles.
In fact, it carried the potential of profound public impact.
Court records contain critical public information.
The media relies heavily on that to keep the public informed about
criminal justice proceedings, individuals who run afoul of the law, and the
context of their crimes.
When someone is charged with a serious offence, does that person have
a previous criminal record? Is he or she connected with criminal organiza-
tions or other activities?
Although that information can be accessed in person at court houses,
many B.C. towns are served by court facilities in larger communities long
distances away.
The cumulative cost of frequent and numerous court record searches was
prohibitive, especially for smaller papers and other media outlets.
The potential result was restricted access, less detailed reporting, and a
less informed public.
Over the past several months, various media organizations, including
Black Press, have lobbied Attorney General Mike de Jong to rescind the fees.
Now, the AG announced the online criminal record search fee will be
scrapped, as of Aug. 31.
It was a commendable decision, ultimately made in the public interest.
