The Criminal Records Maze

If you're trying to find criminal records, especially free records online, it's a confusing maze. Here are some reasons why:

  • Search engines give you such a long list of results that it's now hard to find what it is you really need. Plus, they may no longer give you accurate results.
  • There is confusion as to what are criminal records. Arrests? Court appearances? Court records? Convictions? Inmate records? A ride in the back of a police car?
  • Many people believe they may access the FBI's criminal record database (NCIC) through online search sites. Unfortunately, this isn't so.
  • Each state has different rules regarding who may access criminal records and how that information may be provided, if at all.
