Public Criminal Records Free Online

By Claire Dowell


California Criminal Records are available at the California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General. Any member of the general public has the right to access them per the Freedom of Information Act. The records contain vital pieces of information such as the name of the offender, the nature of offense/s committed, and the time and place where it was committed. If the offender is acquitted of the crime he or she was accused of, the records will not be revealed 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.

There are certain websites that specialize in maintaining and providing criminal documents. There are a number of such websites available on the Internet. Prior to choosing which one to use, check out if they have a good track record because there are those who claim to be capable of providing genuine information when they actually cannot. You can get some vital information if you can check what past users are saying about their service.

There are websites that ask for a certain amount of fee for the documents while there are some that provide Criminal Records Free To Public. Websites that require fees are capable of providing an extensive amount of information regarding criminal documents. On the other hand, free websites will usually give only the basic facts of a document. It is prohibited by law to use the documents against other people such as in defaming, harassing, embarrassing, or blackmailing. Anyone caught not observing this will be penalized accordingly.
