You can usually tell alot about someone on how well they manage their finances.

go to clerk of court office and they have a computer set up for reviewing records/

how is it illegal for a cop to tell ypu but you can pay a website? Is it because of the money, i dont understand why a cop couldnt look at someones record and tell you before you hire them if that would be a good idea or not,

Because there is a law saying police can’t do it. Is that not good enough for you? Law enforcement databases cannot he used for any non law enforcement purpose. There is a huge difference in the law enforcement databases and the public court records.

It is a fine line but it is not illegal to tell you what is already public record. what is illegal is for them to use the LE computer systems to get information that you are going to use for private business, or just personal curiosity. Most LE officials that stupidly get arrested for this are trying to help a friend or someone they thought was a friend, gather dirt on a political rival running against the so called friend.

I had to tell more than one person "No, I can't do that" in my career and then explained why. If they understood, they remained my friend. If they were pissy then I learned all along that they never were my friend to start with. Please don't ever ask your friends in LE to do this.

You two always respond before I do. So in order to keep my post count up I just follow yall around and say Yup! haha!

I will add that I use the Casteel agency (private investigator) to find info on people. Absolutely amazed at what they can dig up for just a few hundred dollars

Plenty good enough i guess if its a law i was just asking a question, i didnt understand why he was asking about it in the first place if it was in order to hire someone or if it was about someone he was doing bussiness with or a relative was dating a person, and i didnt know anything would be wrong if you asked a cop that a person you was about to have some contact with but you didnt really know was a safe individual, the cop could say yes or no and not give paticulars on the person, i figuered it was sorta like taking a check from someone and calling his or hers bank and asking if it was ok to take a check in that amount ,but i see the point jawbone gave,

If you have a cop friend who will do you such favors, this might not be the place to be talking about it.

You have to be nuts to risk pulling up stuff for friends on NCIC if you’re a LEO. You know that’s wrong. Someone checks what is run and I’ve seen LEOs get in trouble for running an ex girlfriend. What do you think will happen trying to look something up for a friend?

They won't be doing it much and keep their job.

True. Serious business there.

Buy any lawyer lunch and they can run it. They subscribe to a service.

I think he was talking about a thumbs up or thumbs down situation with the cop, ne real info changing hands. Cops around here wont run a tag for you

Well thats not entirely true. If you are a politician, in the good ole boy network, liberal, or mexican mafia, they will run them all day long for you.

Not to derail but say a detective nonlaw enforcement agency checked on you for either a prosecutor or your ex wife/girlfriend and you discovered what was going on? Total hypothetical question and I won't post what I think should be done but if I was on a jury afterwards you'd get a pass from me.

I was just asking dang, didnt realize it was a law, seems like if you can pay a website then it wouldnt be a problem

Websites and sites like Alacourt will show what is public record. The law enforcement data bases will show things that are not public record such as outstanding or unserved warrants, youthful offender convictions, juvenile convictions, etc etc

I tried one of the sites claiming they can get you info. They didnt give me anything I couldnt find on my own. I sent them an email pretty quick letting them know how disappointed I was that they were ripping people off and they sent my money back right then.
