EZ-E Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You could try this one http://www.searchsystems.net/ There is this as well http://www.journalismnet.com/people/uscrime.htm#tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You could also go to your local court house. All of that is open information. But I think most courts are a little behind the technology curve, so don't know how much of it is in electronic form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave88SS Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 http://www.co.caldwell.nc.us/ All I could find was the sex offender registry and the real estate records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelman Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You should be able to visit your local court house as Pop_N_Wood stated and use a terminal to access the computer system for free. Copies of records will probably incur a small printing fee, like 5 or 10 bucks but you can sit on the terminal all day if you need to, at least you can in my county. I used the local court house system to research some dirt bag tenants of mine that slipped past the screening service I use. Found out they had been convicted of several felonies more than 5 years ago so the screening didn't catch it (archived records). Now I'm going through the eviction process (what a pain in the a$$) due to the fact that they were still up to their old shenanigans and it pissed off all the neighbors. Good luck with your research.

Here comes trouble Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 In Oregon, you can go to the local courthouse (county and federal) and use a public compter (s) to locate name (s) and case numbers. With the case numbers you can request from the clerk to view the actual files both open and closed. Copies cost $.25 a page. Since most states are federalized for viewing public records ...your state should be similar in public access to criminal case records.
