Arrest Records California

By Ben Kingsley


It is not an easy task to preserve the safety of an area, especially if it has a population that is the biggest in the United States. In California, the population is just too big to completely eliminate crime. As a resort, the state gave the public the right to obtain Criminal Records CA. The documents bear details that are beneficial to the public so they are aware who to not associate themselves with.

All the documents of criminal offenders of all 58 counties of the state are forwarded to the state's Department of Justice. Initially, the documents are not recorded at the Department of Justice, but at the local police departments and sheriff's offices. You can place a request for your own documents but not for another person. If you want to obtain the documents of another person, you have to secure an authorization from the court. It is advisable to check if the details on your documents are factual and are current. However, if the documents are being used as a reference for a current investigation, they are not disclosed to the public.

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.

There are different kinds of documents that comprise criminal documents. It includes sex offender documents, arrest documents, police reports, driving violations documents, and the likes. Each document contains vital pieces of information that are very useful, particularly if you do perform a background check on certain people. Despite having the freedom to access the criminal documents, the law still protects the right to privacy of offenders. It is prohibited to use the documents in such a way that would bring a negative effect to their lives, except, of course, if there is a need to do so like trying to prove someone guilty in a legal proceeding.

The Department of Justice maintains a database where they keep soft copies of criminal records. Meanwhile, there are also service providers that offer the records to the public. They are authorized by the court to provide the records so that people will have more options to choose from if they want to access the records. There are various service providers available on the Internet but before choosing one, research about their credibility first so you can be sure that you are given genuine information.

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.
