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.
