How to do a background check?

[sikk50]

That's not as easy as you might want it to be, but....

First thing is easiest, you go to your local county's court website, and most counties have an area where if you have her real first and last name and their birthday you can see all the encounters they've had with the law in that county, from arrests to tickets, but it only works in the county the offense was committed.

Second you can run a quick google search and there are certain websites that you can check the status on them if they have an open warrent or are on probation.

Finaly, on that same site for a small "donation" you can get their background for criminal acts.

It is worth taking a look at. All legal issues, in the state of Michigan atleast, are public record and easily accessible for free with any court computer.

I would be careful with this request. My best friend works for the Michigan court system and can easily access anyone's record but he cannot do so. It is a confidentiality/legality thing, some stuff is public record, other stuff is not public files.
