Question by : Is it legal for a random person to look up your court records?
I have a friend with a very nosey mother who likes to randomly look up the court records to everyone that she knows. She often reminds me that I am on probation for a speeding ticket and holds it over my head. As you could imagine, this type of behavior gets extremely old and annoying. I could understand if I was some sort of sex offender that she needed to know about but that is not the case.
Anyway, my question is that I feel like this is in some way an invasion of privacy as she can freely go to a website, type in my name, and get all of the court details without any permission. To all of my lawyers out there… are there any lines being crossed here? Is there anything that can be done?
If it helps any, I am located in Maryland

they’re public once they’re filed…if you don’t like it, turn her in to the police or tell her to shut her mouth, you’re tired of hearing her run it.
I doubt the police can or will do anything, but it might help to have a report if it gets worse.
