Arrest Records California

By Ben Kingsley


It is hard to maintain the peace and order of a state especially if it is the most populated state in America. Even though arresting officers are present in the streets of California, there is still no guarantee that the peace will remain undisturbed. Criminals are always plotting their modus and are always willing to break the law. That is why the state gave its citizens, access to Criminal Records CA. On the documents are a set of information that would be help the citizens determine which people to stay away from.

There are 58 counties in the state and the Department of Justice serves as the central repository of all criminal records. In other states, any person can view or access their criminal records and the records of other people. In California, a person is only allowed to access his or her own record unless you have the consent of the court to do otherwise. It is ideal to check ones criminal records, if there any, to check if there are any inaccuracies or false information included on the record. If a record is being used for an ongoing investigation, it will not be available for request.

There is a request form available at the Department of Justice. All required fields on the form such as a name, address, date of birth and other vital information should be provided. A fingerprint scan is also required for each request done. A fingerprint live scan can be done at a local police department or at the sheriff's office. After a live scan is done, vital pieces of information such as a name, sex, age, date of birth, and mailing address are put into the fingerprint card. There is a $25 fee for every transaction payable by money order or check to the Department of Justice. The fingerprint scan has a separate fee and it depends on where it is done.

Documents of criminal offenders are made up of various documents like sex offender documents, driving history documents, arrest history documents, etc. Thanks to the Free of Information Act, the documents are readily available to any person upon request. People find great use of the documents as a source of reference if they want to check the criminal background of other people. Do not forget that even when a person is labelled as a criminal by the law, his or her right to privacy is still preserved. If anyone known to have accessed the documents and used them illegally against another person, the court will be imposing matching penalties to the violator.

Digital copies of criminal documents are now available since the Department of Justice started maintaining their own criminal documents database. The documents can also be obtained from online search tools that have the approval of the court to disseminate them to the public. There are many search tools available online. However, before choosing one you will use, be sure to investigate the history of their service. If people have had a positive feedback on their service, you can proceed with your search.

Free Criminal Records are also available for the public's perusal. A search can be started by providing a full name, a birth date and an address. If a full name is too common, add more details about the offender to increase the chances of finding the exact record.
