Somehow, Americans are notoriously defiant of the law. Going by recent reports, they’ve done it again and the trend looks set to continue. Laws are getting tougher but the criminals are getting more hardened. It’s as if they’re engaged in a never-ending duel of wills with the authorities. Fortunately, we have one of the strongest Police forces coupled with one of the finest civil systems.

Although public measures are in place at the macro level to deal with the problem of crimes, we cannot be too careful about safeguarding our own interests and that of our loved ones. One handy way of taking our own initiative in keeping our eyes open to bad hats is through public records. They are mandated by law through the Freedom of Information Act (1966) to be made accessible by anyone.

There is a host of public record categories we can refer to for various purposes. Public Police Records is the one of choice to give the best idea of someone’s civil character. They contain information on all interaction with the police by the subject, both lawful and unlawful. This means that besides criminal issues, administrative matters like address change, accident report, lost and found, firearms permit and so forth will also be produced.

As Public Police Records are public records, they can be accessed by anyone so long as requirements are complied with. Having that said, the use of the information derived from them is restrictive. Laws are stringent and protective on privacy and discrimination. As an example, the use of Public Police Records in employment and volunteer screening is only permissible if consent from the subject to conduct the search is granted by them beforehand.

Public Police Records come under state jurisdiction. As a result, they are subject to variations from state to state in tandem with the different state laws. However, they can typically be requested at the local police departments of the respective districts or counties. At the state level, the Statistics and Data Departments or State Repositories are alternative government agencies to retrieve them from.

Public Police Records are available free of charge as a public service but procedures and waiting time are typical features. On top of it, they often require further work. Alternatively, there’s the commercial version. Highly professional ones are found in abundance on the net. Fees are involved but they spare you the fuss and hassle. Reports can be ready within minutes but most of all, it’s 100% legal.

It seemed like only yesterday that I was living in Washington, D.C., working in corporate America, waking up at 6 am, rushing with my coffee while I brushed my teeth and put on my pinstripe suit and yellow power tie, and drove to work, arriving before rush hour. Only to be stressed out the rest of the day and night.

A coronary, a burst appendicitis, a dysfunctional vagus nerve (requiring an implant) and a myriad of other health problems, put me out to pasture, and, doctors said I would not be working again. I felt my life had come to an end.

Technically, I was disabled. I did not buy the term. I bought a cheap computer and learned all I could about the Internet. I learned how to be a cartoonist and writer. I learned how to outsource and license the manufacturing of my image products. […] Continue Reading…
