What specific change must be reported within the specified time frame after an arrest?

The specific change that must be reported within the designated timeframe after an arrest pertains to arrests that are classified above a Class "C" misdemeanor. This includes Class "A" misdemeanors, Class "B" misdemeanors, and felonies. The rationale behind this requirement is that more serious offenses carry greater implications for public safety and legal proceedings, necessitating thorough documentation and reporting to ensure appropriate legal follow-up.

In contrast, Class "C" misdemeanors, which are the least severe offenses (such as minor traffic violations), often do not require the same level of scrutiny or reporting. Similarly, stating that all arrests must be reported would overlook the legal nuances associated with the varying classifications of offenses. Finally, limiting the reporting requirement to only felony arrests excludes the significant number of Class "A" and Class "B" misdemeanors that also need careful attention and reporting. Therefore, the focus on arrests above a Class "C" misdemeanor ensures that law enforcement can adequately manage cases that could have a more significant impact on the judicial system and community safety.
