Criminal record lookups can be used by anyone from landlords, employers to even people that you are dating to find out about your criminal past. Criminal records are an important part of a person’s profile and are used by these people to make decisions such as whether to do business with them or even to go out or date the person.
If you go to the county level, then you could possibly get details such as the arrest record, charges pending and anything that they have been acquitted of. You need to decide where you start your search and the level of detail you need.
Any charge will show up, even traffic offenses, as long as they have not been expunged from the record or taken off. Different localities have different time frames for when the information is taken off of their record.
Finding the date of arrest, conviction status annd what the prosecutor decided to do with the case (pursue it or dismiss) will all show up on a criminal backgroound check. If the person was convicted and paid a fine, the status will change to convicted and will show up on the report. It will also show if the person recieved any kind of probation.
