Criminal Records California Free Information Online

By Ben Kingsley


California is a place that has a large population. That is one reason why it is e tremely difficult for those in law enforcement agencies to guard the safety and security of the people. Fortunately, CA Criminal Records have been made available to the public, by the Department of Justice, to hopefully decrease the chances of the people of getting victimized by law offenders.

Criminal records are consisted of several crime-related records such as police reports, arrest records, in-mate records, traffic violations, and the likes. They are filed at the specific office that has jurisdiction over the crime committed and then forwarded to the state's central repository. People that perform background checks are known to obtain the records because of the valuable pieces of information that they contain.

Every individual has the right to access criminal records because they are part of public records. An individual may request for his or her own records to check if there are any wrong information. If there are, the proper correction can be made by submitting an appeal to the appropriate office. The Department of Justice is quite strict when it comes to handling requests for records that is not the requestors own. Lawyers and law enforcers are usually the ones given the freedom to access them anytime. If you are neither, you have to have a valid reason why you want the records, just like employers and landlords who use the records to screen their job applicants and applying tenants.

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.

There online search tools that specialize in maintaining and supplying criminal documents to the public, but with the consent of the government and the court. There are a number of search tools that deal with such documents but not all of them are genuine. To avoid getting non-genuine information, do a little research about the search tool you are about to use. Also try to find some indicators if they have satisfied their clients with their services or not. And if you do not have a clue where to begin you search, look for a search tool that is capable of letting you perform a nationwide search.

Local Police Departments and County Sheriff's Offices are the ones responsible for creating and maintaining Police Arrest Records. Requests for the arrest documents are entertained at the respective offices as well. They create one every time an arrest executed, regardless of whether imprisonment is needed or not. If a person is acquitted of the offense he or she committed, the created files will be expunged from the general public.
