visualization of a criminal record

[brianek]

Why: Lawyers want to have a tool that explains why certain charges/crimes on their criminal record will be eligible to be sealed (hidden from the public) at different time.

What are the basic fields on a criminal record? Also, can you scan that help sheet you had at the previous meetup?

[brianek]

Basic Fields:
-Name
-PDID #
-Address
-Charge
-Disposition
-Disposition Date
-Arrest Date
-Date of Offense
-DOB

MPD Form (5) (1).pdf
Court Form 2 (5) (1).pdf

What does the PDID# refer to? Is it the person or about the particular charge or offense?

[brianek]

@jmezetin: PDID is supposed to be a unique identifier. The courts use it to connect a crime to James A that lives in NorthWest DC; James A that lives in southwest DC will have a different PDID #

So if James A, who lives in NW DC, commits another crime the PDID will be the same?
