I used judyrecords to check myself after it was posted here. I had a charge from over a decade ago listed as a felony that had been reduced to a misdemeanor. The state system shows as a misdemeanor. I paid good money to an attorney for a misdemeanor. I'm not sure why judyrecords shows it as a felony, and it has me wondering about the effectiveness of my legal defense.

edit: If you're wondering if I'm a hardened criminal with a wake of victims left behind, the answer is no. I was 22 and got caught in the midwest with an ounce and a half of cannabis. This website, as far as I'm concerned, is displaying inaccurate information about me that that could have serious negative consequences for myself.

Just spitballing, it's just a dump of records. They might have records for your arrest, arraignment, charge, plead, whatever (not sure what's in your state). When I was looking through it, it didn't seem like a comprehensive or organized set of documents by case.

You might want to check with a more thorough source, like a criminal background check agency.
