Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Disclosure of another person's criminal background
Would there be legal consequences if I sent copies of police reports and other public documents pertaining to jail, trial, and related civil actions for assault, harassment, etc. to the criminal's employer, landlord, and/or neighbors? Some of the police reports took special efforts to obtain, so they are possibly not public records in the strictest sense.

Yes, there could be severe legal consequences for taking such action. This is especially true if you obtained the information in a not so legal manner. Consult with an attorney before taking any action.
