How To Get A Free Information On Oklahoma Criminal Records Online

By Ben Kingsley


In Oklahoma, the public is given the right to access public records, including Oklahoma Criminal Records, per the Oklahoma Open Records Act. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is the office-in-charge of the state's criminal records. The records that are kept by the bureau are the ones that local police departments and sheriff's offices submit to them.

Any person can place a request for a certain record at the bureau or at the office where it was originally filed. There is a $15 fee for a name-based search and a $19 fee for a fingerprint-based search. The fees are payable only by money order and by check. If the records are not found, the bureau will not issue a refund. Also, if a requestor fails to include all specified requirements, the submitted request will be rejected.

Various records comprise a criminal record. It includes a sex offender record, a driving history records, arrest records, police reports, etc. There are several important pieces of information available on each of the records such as the name of the accused, what they are charged with, where the violation occurred, his or her physical features, and many more. These pieces of information are not disclosed to the public just like that because the right to privacy of a person is always preserved, even for criminals. The court allows the public to use the records as a reference or as an official supporting document in a legal proceeding. The improper use of the records, such as in a way to aim at another person for the purpose of embarrassing, defaming, blackmailing or damaging one's reputation, is strictly prohibited by the law. Penalties will be imposed to whoever does not observe what the law specifies.

Teens nowadays, are so open-minded that they are always up to doing something new. However, at times, they pay the price for being too nave. The records are particularly helpful for parents who want to be assured that the people surrounding their beloved children will not lead them to any kind of trouble.

Conducting background checks is becoming a regular thing especially with employers and landlords. Employers check the criminal background of job applicants so they can avoid having any troubles with the law in the future. Landlords use the information from the records to determine if it is safe to accept an applying tenant to their premises. A person may access his or her own records to check if there are inaccuracies. It is harder to get a job or find a place to stay for a person that has a criminal record under his or her name. Luckily, a person may request to expunge the records but that will depend on the gravity of the offenses committed.

Searching for Free Public Criminal Records is easy to do. Find yourself a computer with an Internet connection and prepare the name of the person whose files you want to get your hands on. Search for more details other than the name of the offender so that in case his or her name is widely used, you can narrow down the search results, thus, making it easier to find the exact files.
