Are criminal files public domain?

Is somebody's individual criminal files public domain? I am not talking about the arrest search or the court search...but an actual file that contains details about a case or charges on somebody.

It's still unclear what you're asking for.

If you mean the records of a court case, those are generally available unless the judge has ordered them sealed. You can get a list of the documents for most counties on the state court website (Fairfax County Circuit Court excluded). If you want to look at the actual court documents, you have to go to the courthouse.

If you mean the records of a criminal investigation by police, you will never, ever see those.
