Arrest record...please help

Question

i need to look up someone's arrest record...i know it's public..what is the website without having to pay?

Answer 1

Check your local papers archives. Most papers print a public safety log daily or every other depends on the paper.

Answer 2

There is no free site. If you know the agency that arrested the subject, you can access the arrest records through that agency. Some agencies place a computer in their lobby so the media can access this information. Criminal histories are not public. Even law enforcement agencies are regulated by the FBI for accessing this type of information.

Answer 3

It's not public information and it's usually sealed by the court.

Answer 4

It's not public and not free. You'll have to pay.  

Answer 5

Criminal histories are not public information.  If that info was public then every jury would be biased after finding out the criminal history of the person on trial.

I work in a jail and I am not allowed to give out any information other than the inmate's name, their charges, arrest location, and bail.
