Free Criminal Searches are gaining popularity

How well do you know the people who live around you? Are there violent criminals living in your neighbor hood? Criminal Searches.com may tell you whether you need to be worried. Many people are turning to these online type criminal searches to find out about potential dates, see what types of people live around them, etc.. Criminal Searches can be free or they can cost as much as a couple of hundred dollars.

These sites for criminal searches are jumping up all over the net and many people are concerned about the privacy concerns associated with these types of sites. There are also some questions about the accuracy of such sites, especially the free ones. So do free criminal searches on the Internet actually produced accurate results or do they produce false impressions?

I decided to check on myself and entered in my name. Well it found me and one of my speeding violations I obtained a number of years ago. Yes I have been caught speeding, but it had only one and I’ve been caught speeding several times. I also looked up someone who I know has had several drug convictions and even a breaking and entering conviction and the site produced no results.

This raises the question in my mind about how actually effective these criminal search sites are. In tow minutes I found two instances of searches that did not produce accurate results. So how many more inaccurate results are in the site’s database.

I also did some searches for the neighborhood where I live and while it produced some results, mostly traffic violations and one sexual offender, I did not recognize the names. One of the names was right across the street from where my house is. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 14 years, since the sub division was built and no one by that name has ever lived in the house. So I’m really starting to seriously consider what CriminalSearches.com actually reports and it would appear that any results you may obtain from this site should be taken with a grain of salt and not taken seriously. But this site’s may have some merits as you may be able to find out potential information and then use that information to continue your criminal search of an individual. Many of the state law enforcement agencies within your state also keep this type of information in file and is probably much more reliable.
