Michigan Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Law enforcers are tasked to safeguard civilians against bad people. But despite their presence on the streets, culprits still find ways to carry out their evil plans. To better preserve the peace and order in Michigan, the government gave citizens the freedom to access Michigan Criminal Records, which are deemed as public files. The move also gives the people a better idea who to refrain from getting associated with. Every citizen has a right to place a request for the files at the state's Criminal Justice Information center.

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.

When performing background checks on certain people, criminal records are a good source to get some valuable information from. Landlords and employers are known to refer to the records when screening potential tenants and employees. Even parents turn to obtaining criminal records when they want to know the backgrounds of the people that their children are associated with. A person that has a criminal record under his or her name is not immediately a bad person but it is enough to cause some concern.

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.

Criminal records can also be obtained through online service providers and they are either fee-based or for free. There are a number of such service providers but not all of them are capable of providing genuine information. Perform a background check on a certain service provider to find out if past and current customers are satisfied with their services so you can gauge if they have good service or not.

For a certain amount of fee, you can obtain a lot of valuable information from fee-based service providers. But if you look hard enough, you can find service providers that provide Criminal Records Free to Public. You are not going to get the same amount of information you would get with fee-based service providers but you will get the basic pieces of information.
