What is a REAL way to get someones criminal record?
Hello. Is there a REAL way to view someones criminal records online? I place "real" in caps because we have been scammed by a few websites claiming to sell criminal backround checks. You put in all the info and it matches their database only to be told they have no criminal records. They have his middle name, mothers name, date of birth and previous addresses so we know they have the right person. The subject I am investigating acknoledges he was in prison and that he has been there two times. We just question his reason for being incarcerated. Still these sites say he has no record... The state in question is New Hampshire. Any ideas? This is my step-sons father and we really would like to know what his father did. We are worried. Any help would be great.

In order to obtain a copy of a persons criminal history you have to be a sworn police officer. And then you need a reason for it. Otherwise, you may be out of luck. These records are very secure and not given out to just anyone.
Perhaps if you have a valid reason you can contact an attorney or court official and see if there is a route available to you.
Good luck,

Is he on probation? If so in my state (not NH sorry but they may do the same) you can run his name on line with the state DOC inmate locator. It will say he is on probation, when his predicted release date is and what he was incarcerated for.
Once off probation it disappears.
Otherwise nothing legit on line available to you, a one time user.
Some states, not mine, allow you to go in person and order background with the person's permission. The state police usually handles that.
Otherwise contact a local PI. They have pretty good pay sources they subscribe to that have most court records of convictions.
