California Criminal Records

I'm trying to find a way to view public records online but every site I find is just a cover for pay services. Public records are supposed to be available for free, but I'm having trouble finding them. I'm specifically interested in the state of Mississippi.

If they lived in the time of Social Security this site will help. There is some info they want you to pay for. However Social Security index is free.

If you have contact information but the agency that can help or where to go would be great. Thank You…

You cannot totally clear your record, but how to do what you can do will be found here:

I am under 18, about 17 and a half to be exact. And i recently applied for jobs and they asked me to fill out my pesonal information which allows them to do a background check. And I was wonderng if I was arrested for a MISDEMANOR (such as a little fight), will they see it? Because my friend told me that they can't find anything on me if I am under age because you can awlays get it seal. And once I am 18, when I seal it, will it totally be gone? And no one (for example, job places) view my past history? Please help…..?

no they can not look at your record cause of ur age ,if ur older then 18 then u got a problem

One thing about criminal records in Cali is there is a LOT of them!

That is humor.

Convictions on felonies are what they look for, not arrests.

I have a 20 year old federal felony for growing a very small amount of pot. How do I go about having a federal record expunged or sealed?

get yourself real legal advice find a lawyer and ask them if it can be done i would think it can not be done just cause you would want it sealed but I am not a lawyer best to get advice from one of those

Hello, It has come to my understanding that juveniles in CA are able to seal their juvenile criminal records in CA when they turn age 18 OR if 5 years have past since the conviction. I know that we cannot seal our records if we committed an offense in WIC 707 (b), however, i ask this. Can juveniles still seal their records IF they got convicted with a FELONY rather than misdemeanor? Please help me, thank you for your time.

Yes, felony records not subject to 707(b) can be sealed.

Follow the “juvenile records” link here:

Under California Penal Code Section 1203.4 a person is able to expunge a criminal conviction. Thereby reducing a felony to a misdomeanor(sp) and withdrawing the guily plea and having court records reflect the conviction never happened and the case has been dismissed. BUT……..if there a person served time for a probation violation which was connected to the case does the probation violation get expunged too????
Note: time for original crime served, probation completed after serving time for the violation, expungement granted by court 1 year after probation was completed. Minute order lists probation violation case info under same case number as original charge.

wow.. i didant know but if someone will be in that stage to be violetade (i hope not), dont vogot to screem faier not help.

The internet has transformed the level of access which the public has to the records held by the many agencies in our great nation.  It used to be that if you wanted to access a public record you needed to make long telephone calls, fill in forms, and wait for clerks and the postal system to deliver what you wanted.  It was slow, inefficient and could become quite expensive if you needed to travel or make long-distance calls.

If you have access to the internet then you have access to any public records that you desire.  What used to take weeks or months to find out can easily be found in minutes as long as you can point and click your mouse.

Unlike the old days of public record search, with the internet you can search any time of the day or night.  You are not restricted by the operating hours of the agency that you are queering.   If you can access the internet, then you can make a search of public records.

It is also a lot easier to get to the records.  There is no need to get in a car or catch a bus, and you don’t have to rearrange your schedule so that you have time to get to the right office at the right time.  There is no queuing involved, or trying to navigate your way around the corridors of unfamiliar buildings.  No red tape or filling in forms or persuading slow-moving staff that your request is both urgent and important.

Once you get on the proper website you will need to enter all the typical info..your name, e-mail, user name and password.  Then put down a credit card and you are on your way to the information that you desire.

Another great benefit on online public records searching is that the documents or information that you receive are electronic.  This means that you can circulate or print off as many copies as you need, and still keep the original on file.

The internet has transformed many aspects of our lives, including how we gain access to the public records stored in the archives scattered across the country.

The web has changed many aspects of our daily lives.  This now includes the way that we search for  public information.  Right or wrong, all of our public information is at the fingertips of anyone who has the internet and $20-30 lying around.
