What Are Criminal Records And Reports

By Claire Dowell


The California Department of Justice, office of the Attorney General, is the state's repository of California Criminal Records. All criminal documents are initially documented at a particular county prior to it getting forwarded to the state repository. Any member of the general public is given the right to access document as long as the correct requesting procedures are followed. Criminal documents normally contain the full name of an offender, description of the offense committed, and the time and place where it was committed.

People that do background researches on other people turn to criminal documents more often than not. In a place with a very big population like California, it is not a surprise that law enforcers find it hard to maintain the peace and order. But if the public is provided with vital information, they will have a better idea which kinds of people they should stay away from.

To initiate a search, download the Live Scan Form from the official website of the Department of Justice and supply all the necessary information. Then proceed to a Live Scan site to get your fingerprint scanned. Wait for your fingerprint card and submit that with the completed request form and appropriate fee. There is a different fee for the criminal records and another for the fingerprint scan. Plus, fees for the fingerprint scan vary from every location.

Requesting your own documents is permitted in California so that you can check if the set of information included are correct or not. If you see anything that you think is incorrect, you can have it amended by filling out the Claim of Alleged Inaccuracy of Incompleteness form and submitting it back to the appropriate office. You also need to submit back the document that you obtained.

Requesting the files of other individuals is possible but not everybody has the right to do because the privacy of the files' owners is always taken into account. There are a select few that enjoy this right but it still depends on the situation. Law enforcers are given the right to acquire full versions of criminal files but only if it is needed for the investigation of a certain case. Employers and landlords have the right to secure the files because it is important that they get an idea if the people they are considering on accepting are not violators of the law. If a person who has access to other peoples files commits defamation, harassment, embarrassing or blackmailing other people, he or she will be punished appropriately.

If you want to obtain California arrest records, you can send a request to the state's Department of Correction and Rehabilitation for a certain fee. If you want to obtain Arrest Records For Free, see if your local law enforcement agency offers it or try to look for online service providers that offer such to the public. Arrests are recorded by even if it does not result to imprisonment. If it does not lead to imprisonment, the record will not be disclosed to the public.
