It means that the code the officer used to enter the charge was OBSolete. The charge is still in affect, but the officer just put in the wrong code. The *OBS* is supposed to deter anyone from using it, but as often as I see *OBS* on clients' records, I don't think it does. Hope this answer does, though.

It is probably an acronym or abbreviation for 'something,' but such things are not universal in every court and, in fact, may not mean anything to anybody outside of the court system in question. Your best bet is to call the Clerk of Courts office and ask them what it means to them .

Depending upon the context in which it is used it can mean "observation" or OBS indicates a court that convenes every three months.
