Description:
The criminal record is a report obtained from county courthouses
listing all criminal offenses committed by an individual during a given period of time.
Offenses which are found on the criminal record fall into the following three categories:a.Traffic Offenses: Normally, the only traffic offenses that show on a criminal record
would be serious offenses such as "driving under the influence" or "hit and
run" violations.
b.Misdemeanors: Usually considered a less serious or minor offense, the misdemeanor is a
crime punishable by incarceration, typically in a local confinement facility. The maximum
incarceration period is usually limited to one year or less. (A few states classify a
misdemeanor as an offense carrying a sentence of two or even five years)
c.Felonies: These offenses are considered more serious than the previous two categories.
Typically, a felony carries a penalty of incarceration from one year to life in a state
prison, to the death penalty.
(It should be noted that different states classify
crimes differently. One state's misdemeanor may be another state's felony. Civil cases,
such as lawsuits between individuals or corporations and bankruptcies, are not included on
the criminal record.)
The countywide search we offer can search any of the 3000+ U.S. counties, including the District
of Columbia, going back as far as 7 years (except for NY state - see
note below). You need to choose one
county per search.
Reports are obtained from the courthouse of each county. The type
and length of the search varies by county. Some offer both felony and misdemeanor
violations while others off only felony. Some counties
hold their records from the beginning of time while others only retain several years worth
of records. The type of search and the number of years checked are noted on the criminal
records report when you receive it.
