“That’s not a rap sheet.”

No, it’s just a listing of all the charges for their current incarceration, but the point is it’s not private information.

I specifically said rap sheet, not a list of their current charges.

Different States have different rules when it comes to rap sheets. They are not available online at a click. California for example says:

"Otherwise, a rap sheet is confidential and can only be viewed by a limited group of people. Some of these include:

police officers, judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys (for purposes of criminal cases), law enforcement agencies / criminal justice agencies (for job applications), and state and county governments (for job applications)."

In other States, copies of rap sheets have to be officially requested, and a fee is charged to get a copy, but they are not, as far as I can tell, available to just anyone through a website link.
