Free search warrants
These days, most states offer a free search warrant threough Internet service. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, government departments are required to make information available to the public, with the exception of federal and state secrets, and information that violates the privacy of the person without good reason.
In the past, you would have to pay a tax for all states to cover administrative costs, but this was in the days in which to obtain an arrest warrant for you means a manual search through filing cabinets and then produce a photocopy and send it to you. If the state could not pay a fee, but this, their costs would become prohibitive if you consider all the different people questioned the warrant and other public records.
Arrest warrants are stored by the courts, with the copies are distributed to police and other public agencies.
There are some states, counties or courts that will charge you a fee for access to these records, but these days this is the exception rather than the rule.
So while it is possible to do a free search term, the only thing you need to become aware of the fact that it can take a long time. You need to visit a lot of different sites, because information can be stored at the county level or state, and you need to do this research for each state to make sure you have covered all possibilities.
This is why private investigators can charge a lot of money to provide this service - what you're paying for their time.
However, there is a site that can take all this time by the equation for you. It provides access to a database of all public records throughout the United States, stored in a database and cross-references so that you can do a simple search to get all information about a person from across the country.
To use the service you pay a small fee. Although research is not entirely free, the price is very low and I'm sure you'll agree that your time is worth something .......
