Quick Search For Free Criminal Records

By Claire Dowell


It is the task of the Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General to maintain California Criminal Records. Citizens are given the privilege to request the files, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. Included in the files are important details like the full name of the criminal, crime committed, and when and where it was committed. In cases where the criminal is proven not guilty of a certain crime filed against him or her, that information will not be exposed to the public.

Any member of the general public is allowed to place a request for criminal documents for the purpose of checking the information included in their documents. If there are any incorrect pieces of information found in the document, the owner may request to have it reviewed and appropriately changed. A Claim of Alleged Inaccuracy or Incompleteness form is available at the Department of Justice. Supply all the necessary details and send it back to the department. Also send back the acquired copy of a criminal file.

To begin a search, get the Live Scan form at the Department of Justice. Supply all vital information and then have your fingerprint scanned at an authorized live scan operator. You will then be given a fingerprint card which you will need to present when you submit your request. On the day that you submit your request, submit altogether the completed Live Scan form, your fingerprint card, a government-issued ID, and money for the fees. Different fees apply for acquiring the documents and for having your fingerprint scanned. You can do a federal level search by heading straight to the California Federal Bureau of Investigation. If you want to do a search on a county level, you may also do so by heading to the exact arresting agency where the criminal documents were originally filed.

It is allowed to access the documents of other individuals but only on special situations. Law enforcers can get access if they need it for an investigation. Landlords are given access so they can have a better idea on their possible tenants. Employers usually access the files when they want to gain some knowledge on their applicants, especially if they want to know if they have done anything against the law or not. Citizens can only access the documents of other citizens if the reason is to conduct a background check; however, only the basic pieces of information are revealed.

The records can also be obtained from online service providers that specialized in providing them to the public. There are several of such providers that are authorized by the government but there are also some that are bogus ones. To make sure that you are getting authentic information, conduct a background check on them first. Try to see if other users are satisfied with the kind of information that they were provided with.

Online search tools are categorized into two kinds: those that ask for certain fees and those that are authorized to supply Criminal Records Free To Public. The former can supply you with an in-depth version of the files while the latter can supply the basic set of details of the files. When you get your hands on the files you requested, you are expected to not use them to defame, embarrass, harass or blackmail other individuals. Violators will be dealt with by dealt with accordingly.
