Michigan Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Crime is something that is very difficult to prevent even though there are law enforcers scattered around. To help protect the safety and security of the public, the government made criminal records available to the public so that people are well-informed about whom they should stay away from. In Michigan, it is the task of their Criminal Justice Information Center to gather and maintain Michigan Criminal Records. Any member of the public has the right to request for the records because they are considered as part of the public domain.

A criminal record is a collection of crime-related records that are recorded from various counties of a state. It contains the name of the criminal, a description of the crime or crimes committed, and where they were committed. It also contains personal details about the criminal such as an address, age, weight, height, skin and eye color, and many others. A person may request his or her own records to check for errors in the pieces of information included or to use it as a document in a legal proceeding. Requesting of the records of other people is also allowed but the requestor will only be given the basic details to protect the privacy of the records' owner.

People who perform background checks make use of criminal files because they reveal a lot of valuable pieces of information. Landlords and employers make use of the files to check the criminal history of possible tenants and job applicants, respectively. Parents also access the files to check the background of the people that their children are connected to. Although not all people who have been charged with criminal cases are guilty of being a bad person, it is something that should not be taken lightly.

In Michigan, you can start a search by providing a full name or by using fingerprints. Some people have names that are common, in such cases, provide additional information that you know about the criminal to increase the chances of finding the exact record. In addition, law enforcers are obliged to provide fingerprints for offenses that exceed 92 days of punishment, if imprisonment is necessary, and if a fine of more than $100 is involved. There is a small amount of fee for obtaining the records and they are non-refundable even if the records you requested for are not found.

You can also acquire the documents from various sites. Sites that offer criminal documents are either paid-sites or free-sites. There are a number of sites that can get you the kind of data you want but there are also some that are not reliable sources. If you want to have an idea if you are getting reliable data, check the history of the site you are looking at. Look for any indicators if whether or not their clients are satisfied with their work.

Search tools that render fees can supply you with a multitude of important information. But if you want to obtain Criminal Records Free to Public, they are also available on the Internet. They are not going to give you as much information as you would get from those that render fees, but you will get the basic ones.
