I recently had some criminal charges expunged, and I notice they show up here. Is there any way to request removal of court records which are no longer publicly available from the originating court?
This is... not great. It's crucial that these records be open to public inspection. But instant full-text search of the entire dockets of 630M cases feels wrong, invasive, and dangerous to me. It's yet another instance of panopticon surveillance now being too cheap to meter. I think our society needs to come to grips with this new reality and figure out what to do about it. Or are we all just cool with this?
There are public court records (criminal, civil), and there are non-public court records (e.g. sealed - juvenile, divorce, etc.) As far as I can tell, all of this data is of the public nature. While it may feel weird to type in someone's name and see their history with regard to legal filings... that is the society we live in: an open society. Aggregating a number of disconnected data sources for search I think is ab…

Just an FYI -- you probably need to declare the use of Google Analytics explicitly in your terms. (Although my personal preference is something that does not require consent, like Matomo or Plausible Analytics :)
FWIW: I also prefer Plausible, and have all GA traffic blocked in my hosts file

This is a possibility that there aren't any great solutions for currently. Can you message me on reddit with the link to check?
In the absence of a reporting mechanism for issues like this, I'd suggest at least a notice / message alongside results to indicate that they may not reflect the current state of official and amended records.
(I think you may be wise to take this issue fairly seriously; there's a risk of people considering the search engine to be an authority in itself -- which, to be fair, is already a risk for any search engine, but since this one is more domain-focused, it's possible that some users could overdevelop a sense that the results are accurate and complete)
