Most states have a government website that gives you a list of all the people who have been areested in that state. Try going to www.(your state's initials).gov You'll probably find a link there. Or, use dogpile to get a basic background on a person. If there is a warrant or any other charges against a person, Google will normally find it. Type something like, "Bubba Joe" and "Corrections". That should get a listing for that person if they have any charges. Finally, you can go to your local Police Station, they can help you out with anyone from your state for a small $5 fee ($5-$10 depending on the state.)

i don't really know of a web site that you can actually look at court records... you'd have to go to the court house for somethine like that... criminal records are public information and you are allowed access to them at no charge... on the other hand, i did find a web site where you can look up someone to see if they have criminal charges in DAVIDSON COUNTY (nashville TN)... some cases offer the option to veiw the affidavit... all you have to know is their name... knowing a birth date will help slim the results down a bit...

No such thing as a free background check. Even the ones that claim to be free actually charge........

Go to the county courthouse and ask for the records department.  The bureaucrat on duty may not be of much help, but the records are there for your perusal--for free.

I don't think there's a service out there that isn't free.  \n\nYour best bet to do some snooping:\n1:  Go on your local Sheriff's Office website and search for the current inmate population on parole.  He may have done time, and this will be an easy and free way to look that up.\n\n2:  If he claims he's owned a business before, ask for the corporation name.  Your state's Department of Corporations will allow you to look up corporation names.  This will indicate if the business is still active, why the corporation shut down, and what his address was on the Articles of Corporation's filing papers.\n\n3:  Your county Property Appraiser website should allow you to search by name and/or address to see a property owner's current address and property value.  This will let you see if her new boyfriend really owns his house, or if it's his grandmother's!\n\n4:  Never underestimate the power of public records.  Most states have an online public records systems that will allow you to see divorces, settlements, small claims actions, and the like.  This would be an excellent source to get the dirt on this guy.\n\nA woman's instinct is usually right...I wouldn't be surprised if you unearthed some really interesting stuff!

You will have to go through a law enforcement agency in Colorado. They do not allow a private citizen, or even the research companies access to Colorado criminal histories. If you currently reside in Colorado go to your local police department and they will have you sign a release and they can pull up your records on their computer for you.

There are public records available from the courts, and sherriffs office and jails where the records are held. These days a lot of that info is on the web, it is just that you have to find the website of the court, find the website for the sherrifs ofice and so on. The people who charge for background checks are charging because this is what they do. They go through all sorts of different databases and complie the info. Its work. So if you want free do the leg work yourself. Start by listing all the towns this person is know to have lived in. Then find the names of the courts in that jurisdiction, and the names of the police dept or sherrif ofice, and try to find their website. Most have websites these days, but if not call them on  the phone and ask for the procedure for viewing public records.

You can't. "Rap sheets" are not public. You can search for arrest records at the county courthouse. Arrests records are public.

I don't know if this is how you can, but I was wanting to know if my ex-husband had any, and I walked into a police station and asked for his driving record.  They charged me a fee and gave it to me.  (This has been several years ago, and this was in Missouri.)  You might try that.
