You have full access to the criminal records if the court is automated.  If not, you can request access to court records by visiting the courthouse that heard the case you are interested in.

These things are probably free, but aren't generally online.  Most of the records you're talking about are public record, and you can get copies at the relevant courthouse or police department, but these institutions don't tend to go through the time or expense of putting the information online.  \n\nIf you want to check, look up the institution which would have created the records you're looking for: county courthouse, etc.  See if they've got an online document repository.  If they don't, give them a call and the clerk will be able to help you.

Do you know the city or hospital where you were born?\nCheck with that county's court house.  For a fee, the Recorder should be able to locate and mail you a copy.

I think you can go to any courthouse and search the records but if you want to copy anything, then you have to pay.\n\nCall whichever county courthouse is involved and ask them.

Criminal records include all types of information.  Every court has a person responsbile for records, that is the clerk of the court.  Contact the clerk, and let the clerk know what you specially are looking for.  Ordinarily, there is a fee for copying, so nothing is free.\n\nMore courts are putting information online when these are public records.  Then it is a matter of simply entering in the name of the defendant (criminal record) and you have a copy of the court record.
