Oklahoma Criminal Records Free Information Online

By Ben Kingsley


Oklahoma Criminal Records are stored at the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The documents can be accessed by any person who submits a request. This is because of the Open Record Act of Oklahoma which makes public records, such as criminal documents, open to the public. In their official website, the bureau maintains a database where they store the complete profile of a criminal. Another website, which is maintained by the Department of Corrections, keeps the documents of violent and sex criminals.

If you happen to have had some encounters with the law in the past, most likely there will be a criminal document recorded under your name. You are permitted to access your own record so that you can search if there are any inaccurate and wrong information. If the court or the law finds you not guilty of what you are being charged with, you have the liberty to request the appropriate officials to keep the documents away from the public. If you or any person obtains a criminal document and uses it inappropriately against another person, the law will impose appropriate punishments. Examples of inappropriate use of a criminal document include using it to blackmail, defame, or embarrass another person to name a few.

There is always the presence of bad people in the society. And it is difficult to predict what bad deed they are planning of doing next. It is always handy to know the history of certain people, especially if you encounter them on daily basis. If you know which people have a history of having troubles with the law, you, and your family, will know who to refrain from getting acquainted with.

In a criminal file you will discover police reports, arrest reports, pending warrants, and others. It will also include some personal details of a person such as their name, alias, address, height, weight, eye color, skin color and many more. There are certain details of a criminal file that are deemed as private information and they are not revealed to the general public. If an investigation is still being executed, the files will not be available for request to just anybody unless you are the assigned investigator or you are an arresting officer.

The state bureau accepts requests for criminal records. If you want to submit a request, you should have knowledge of at least the full name and the birthday of the offender whose records you want to view, obtain, or both. A name-based search costs $15. If the full or last name of the offender is common such as Johnson, Smith, and others, it will take more time to find the specific record. Providing additional pieces of information will help shorten the return period. You can also choose to do a finger-print-based search which costs $19. If you search the Department of Corrections website, you will be charged $2 per search.

You can also retrieve Free Public Criminal Records by looking at various websites that are not ran by the government but has the permission of the government to accept requests and supply the needed documents of users. Just be cautious with the websites because, unfortunately, not all websites that offer such documents are credible. Research on their background first and find out if other users have a positive feedback on them or not.
