Acquiring Criminal Records Free To Public Online

By Claire Dowell


If you want to get your hands on New York Arrest Records, you can head over to the state's Department of Corrections. The state offers the records to the public because they are part of the public domain. To begin a search, secure the proper request form from the department or you can download it from their website. Complete the form appropriately with the necessary pieces of information. Verify the information you are providing if they are accurate or not because they are vital to the success or failure of the search process. You should at least be able to provide the full name of the arrested person to start a search. Certain fees apply for obtaining the records, payable by money order or through a certified check. All fees paid are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the search.

An arrest is properly recorded even if it does not lead to the imprisonment of the arrested person. The record includes the name of the arrested person, nature of the crime, date and place where it happened, and the name of the arresting officer, to name a few. If the arrested person is proven guilty, his or her records will become permanent and eventually become available for public access. It proven otherwise, the records will be kept away from the public but will remain in the hands of the authorities for future references.

It is permitted to acquire your own arrest files, if there are any. In case you spot some errors on the information included on your file, you can ask for it to be corrected by the keeper of the files. If you want to get your hands on the files of others, you have to be a law enforcer, a lawyer, a landlord, or an employer, amongst others. The amount of information that will be granted on you depends on the reason why you want to acquire the files.

There are certain laws that need to be observed in terms of the use of the records. The records are recognized by the court as an official supporting document for a court hearing. They can also be used as a source of information as when conducting a background check. No one is allowed to use them to harass, embarrass, defame, or blackmail someone. Violators will be dealt with accordingly by authorities.

Another way to acquire arrest files is through an online search. There are search tools you can find online that have the authority to keep arrest files and offer them to the public. You can find a lot of these search tools on the Internet but not all of them can be considered genuine. Perform a history check on them first and get as many facts as you can about them until you are satisfied that they are genuine providers of arrest files.

You can also initiate a search for Criminal Records Free To Public. There are websites that will allow you to do a free search for arrest documents. But in case you do not find any, you can head to the state archives and try looking for the documents there. You will most probably get the basic details of the documents if you are doing a free search.
