California Free Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


California is a very populous state and it is very challenging for law enforcers to maintain the peace and order in the state. Despite their efforts, criminals still find ways to carry out their modus operandi. To increase the security of the people, the government allowed the public to access and view CA Criminal Records, which they can find at the Department of Justice.

Various crime-related files such as police reports, arrest files, files of inmates, traffic infractions, and many others composed what is collectively known as a criminal file. The various files are initially filed at the office or department that have authority of over the offense done. Once the files are finalized, they are then submitted to the state's main storage for criminal files. The files are commonly requested for by individuals or parties that run backgrounds checks on other individuals or parties.

It is the right of every citizen to obtain criminal documents because they are part of public records. If people want to request for their own documents, they may do so. The government allows such action so they can check if there are false details included on their personal documents. If false details are present, they can be corrected by the alerting the office handling the documents. If a person wants to obtain the documents of another individual, the requestor must be the attorney of the documents' owner or is a law enforcer. If the requestor is neither, he or she must state his or her reason for wanting to obtain the documents. Landlords and employers are given access to other people's documents, but only if they use the records to conduct a history check on an applying tenant or job applicant.

To start your search, you should be able to provide at least the name of the person whose records you want to access. It is helpful if you can provide more information because it speeds up the search process. Also, it also increases the chance of finding the specific records, especially for people that have common names. You have to present a fingerprint card along with the request form. The fingerprint card costs $25 and can be obtained at the Local Live Scan site such as a local Police Department.

Criminal files are also available at privately-owned websites. The government permits such websites to operate as long as they entertain requests from members of the general public. If you browse the Internet, you will find several websites that are into such business. However, not all of them can be trusted. When conducting a search, you always want to assure that you are given genuine information. One way to gain assurance is by carrying out a history check on websites you plan on using. Try to see if their user feedbacks available. But beforehand, if you are unaware where to commence searching, choose the website that gives you the option of conducting a nationwide search.

There are a lot of valuable details you can get from accessing Police Arrest Records. If you want to get your hands on arrest records, you can head to the Local Police Department or at the County Sheriff's office where they were originally recorded. The respective offices are obliged to record arrests even if it does not lead to imprisonment. And if the arrested person is proven innocent of the charge against him or her, the created arrest records will put away from public access.
