What is a felony arrest record?

A felony arrest record is just like any other. Felony arrest records are those that contain information about a felony.

The law system in each country classifies crimes according specific parameters. In the United States crimes are classified according tot heir severity and there are many types - federal crimes, felonies, infractions, misdemeanors, etc. A felony is a crime that is so serious it is punished by death (if applicable) or with imprisonment for more than one year.

In this sense a felony arrest record may contain data about various types of crimes -felonies or not. A felony may be a murder or vandalism as well as many other deeds, so if you are looking at a file you must see if the crimes listed there are classified as felonies.

If you want to know if someone has committed any felonies in the past you can do so by searching a public records archive.
