National Background Checks: The Best Way to Trace Criminals


National background checks are the best way to check any individual’s past. This service has a very large database and it covers almost every individual’s background in the United States. This is a very efficient tool especially if you are looking for criminal records down the line of a specific person. The best thing about this service is that you can actually get the results in no time.

Where is the source of this service? This service got all their information regarding each individual in government and also non-government agencies. Both of which (government and non-government) have a large range from the whole country, state, cities, town and all the national areas. With this type of service, no criminal can fake or even conceal his or her past records.

How do you use national background checks services? All you have to do is to simply key in the name of the person you are searching for. Not only persons are allowed, you can also search for properties. After which, you have to choose the state and the other specific address location of the person. There is other additional information too that you have fill in to be able to help in the process.

Why is using this service very important? First of all, you can not simply trust anybody in this day and age. There are more and more people who are involved in crimes and it is sad to say that these people look pretty decent on the outside. You can never judge a person by his or her looks alone. Sure, companies are looking for someone with a pleasing personality and someone who can face the clients and who is decent-looking but as an employer you should still be extra cautious.

As an employer, national background checks are important because you will be able to know the background of the potential employee you are hiring. Would you want a crazy lunatic murderer be part of your team or company? Would you want someone who steals to go inside your offices? Of course you wouldn’t answer in the affirmative. So how do you deal with it? You should check their background information. Remember that these employees will represent your company. If you get someone who is a criminal in the past, that is the representation of your company whether you like it or not. If you think you are being discriminative, you are not. You are only being cautious.

If you also have a business like you have a house or a room rental, as a landlord, you have the right to check the criminal background of your tenants. Not only that, you can also check the financial background of your tenants. It is not being intrusive because it is your right. After all, this person will be renting your space and will live in your land. It is your accountability as a landlord if something will happen to your other tenants or if that person is under financial debt or rut because it is not them who will suffer but you and your credibility as a businesswoman.

All forms of killings is unacceptable: Nigeria in Perspective

The ocassional upheaval in the northern part of Nigeria has always revealed the impiety in some men’s heart. I say ‘some men’ because, I don’t concur with the view progressively gaining momentum that, “all men are wicked”. If you have a strong dissenting opinion over this cliché, I won’t bring a railing accusation against you, because the some of the happenings leave us all dumbfounded at the attitude of man at the slightest provocation. I still struggle to wonder how a man with a human heart, not a dog’s heart, could muster enough courage to chop off the head of his neighbour he has lived with for years; or to lock a family, I mean – father, mother, and five children in their own house and burn them alive. Only for the perpetrators to rejoice and clap their hands at their supposed bravery, brandishing their weapons with ecstasy as though a divine mandate has been accomplished, while the helpless victims burn slowly to death in the human ignited inferno. What else can I say? Does the story of the youth corper who called the dad few minutes before his death, expressing his fears as he saw his slaughterers marching towards him, ring a bell?

I wonder, not because I have not read the history books about such animalistic proclivity- but in the 21st century, right before our eyes, is what my soul strives to comprehend. It is on record that Nigeria has over 300 ethnic groups, with each of course, bearing its singular interest. In response to this, there is a Constitution that seeks to curtail each singular interest not to manifest at variance to another’s interest or the nation’s collective interest. Some residents have confided that beyond the political smokescreen that there exists a religious undertone. Nevertheless, is it a justifiable reason to kill and loot?

It is at this juncture the constitution comes to our aid. Section 33 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria entitles every Nigerian a right to life and none is to be deprived of this right intentionally. It is a fundamental breach for another to kill a fellow citizen of Nigeria because his religious book says so. Section 38 empowers any citizen of Nigeria to choose any religion of his choice. No one is to be forced to belong to a sect he does not want to. The constitution says, this freedom “can either be alone or in community with others, and in public or in private, to manifest and propagate his religious or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance”. Furthermore, Section 10 says the government of the federation or a state shall not adopt any religion. The combine effect of Section 10 and 38 gives the Nigerian, the audacity and unquestionable right to practice his faith anywhere, I repeat anywhere. This Law has not been amended. It remains the law.

I cannot but end with this apt and succinct extrapolation of the power of the constitution by Justice Niki Tobi in the case of A.G Abia v. A.G Federation ( 2007) 1CCLR SC 104 at 169 -170, where he stated thus;
“The constitution of a nation is the fons et origo, not only of the jurisprudence but also of the legal system of the nation. It’s the beginning and the end of the legal system. In Greek language, it’s the alpha and omega. It is the barometer with which all statutes are measured.”


Numerous International treaties have outlawed all forms of actions that hamper the freedom of any person to life, immaterial of religious or political reasons.

Let the Law take its course and let the earth be silent.

Criminal Injustice

In society today, false accusations are becoming more and more apparent. This shouldn’t be the case; especially because all of the advances in resources and tools are making it possible to prove someone’s innocence.

After interviewing an attorney who practices law in the La Crosse County, we found that in cases of sexual assault and domestic abuse the criminal justice system is flawed. In such instances, there are usually only two people present and it becomes a struggle to figure out what truly happened. People tend to view and express situations completely different from one another which make an attorney’s job even more difficult at uncovering the truth.

When looking at crimes in which people are wrongly accused a certain theme is evident. Most wrongly accused people are dealing with crimes in which are driven by emotion and as a result places more pressure on the justice system to place blame.

To raise awareness and combat this problem, it is essential to understand that everyone has constitutional rights and deserves fair and unbiased trials. Seeing as Steven Avery is vying for a new trial currently, it is hard to overlook this issue. It is crucial for the system to get it right the first time so that innocent people aren’t being punished for crimes they didn’t commit.

The Wisconsin Innocence Project has been working hard to find the truth in such cases where people feel they have been wrongly accused. Although without proper evidence and representation to start with, this vicious circle will continue. The Criminal Justice System was designed to protect its people, which is why everyone should do what we can to defend and preserve it.

Private and public entities can freely investigate an individual especially when the main purpose for safety reasons. Usually, this can be done through the utilization of criminal records search service that is widely used nowadays. Gone were the days that in order for you to obtain information about an individual, you had to travel to the address of the person being subjected to criminal background check. At times, you needed also to endure countless hours of waiting before you could finally assure yourself that the person is indeed safe to deal with or at worst, the individual should not be trusted because he or she had been criminally or civilly charged with an offense before. The fact that the result that you have gotten is inaccurate is also inevitable.

With the advancement of the technology today, almost everything now is done through the internet. From the simple researching, networking, exchanging conversations and many more through the more complex criminal background check, almost everybody is seeking the help of the web. But how do these online criminal records search service work?

There are two types of web investigation services available today. One is the free check service which uses internet database subscriptions. Here, all you need to do is enter specific data or simple personal identifiers about the individual to be checked. The system then will run multiple checks through the use of the in-house database of the offender’s backgrounds to locate matches. While this can be fast and helpful, the data gathered is not always accurate because some web providers for this particular service do not update their data often. The information can also be easily tampered making the result unreliable and useless.

The second type is the paid criminal records search service. With a minimal fee, the web providers incorporate internet research with physical approach and this is done by hiring and stationing certain employees to certain jurisdictions all over the country. With this approach, you will be guaranteed that the result for the individual you want to check is more appropriate and updated. This type also uses personal identifiers such as name, last name, aliases, birthday, and address. Once the correct information is given, the database will do the basic research by checking the civil and criminal offenses done by different individuals and once the system declares the subject free from any criminal record, the hired employee double checks his station to ensure that there are no missed out information. Here, he will also be able to check whether the individual you want to check is using a fake name in order to hide his criminal background.

Although a paid criminal records search service maybe a little costly on your part when you want to do a criminal background check, your safety and your family’s safety will be worth the money that you are going to pay. It is always advisable to do preventive measures in order to keep safe than doing an action when the worst has already happened.

For one thing, they need to be sure about their safety with regards to people who are new to them and others need these records for reference purposes either for insurance or employment requirements.
Another classic example is if an employer does a background check on their employees. Criminal records, if present, can reveal a lot about the personality of the person in question especially his credentials and it can also build the credibility of the person by being able to peruse his records. Employers do not discriminate applicants with a criminal past if the person in question has an evaluation in his records that he will not be likely to commit the same mistake again. On the other hand, if the employer knew that there is an existing criminal record of an individual and the applicant did not even mention the existence of such records, then the employer have all the rights to doubt the credibility of the said person and it can also be a ground for the employer not to accept an applicant who are in denial of his criminal past.

This is where the importance of criminal records search service comes in. It allows people to have a clear understanding of the person’s background by being able to peruse the record that will tell a lot about the individual’s personality and character.

There are several ways in which a person could obtain public records like criminal records. They can opt to do it manually which means that the person doing a background check will have to visit in person the government agencies responsible for safe keeping public records like criminal history of an individual. But before a person could even do this, he has to establish first the State or County where he would begin his search. After that, he has to file for a request to be able to be give permission to view or copy the said records. This could take a while and if you have a lot of records to obtain, it will surely take you a long time before you can complete your back ground check.

But there is a much simpler way to obtain criminal records and that is to use online criminal records search service to help you get the criminal records you want about an individual subject for your background checking.

Need help from a Criminal Defense Attorney or DUI attorney? Do Not Say These Things

A top criminal attorney or dui attorney is always in demand. Further, such an attorney who offers free telephone consultations is a most valuable commodity. However, I have heard countless complaints from good people perplexed at the fact that such an attorney is not returning their calls for assistance. Why is this attorney not calling me back they ask? Usually you can count on these mistakes people make when calling such a criminal or dui attorney for not having their legal questions answered.

1.) “My boyfriend wanted to know.” If your boyfriend or girlfriend was in urgent need of legal assistance it would be they who would be seeking your assistance. What if the boyfriend is in jail and cannot call? A criminal defense attorney offering free legal services over the phone does not do it because they are Mother Theresa, but because they do not want the impediment of cost preventing a potential paying client from making a call to you. If a person is unfortunately is in jail, they usually do not have the financial resources to bond out of jail, much less retain a criminal defense lawyer. For such individuals a public defender is usually the best alternative for legal assistance.

2.) “I’m shopping around for a criminal attorney or dui lawyer, please call me.” Someone leaving such a message is sending the signal that cost and not quality of legal representation is what is important to them. For a criminal defense attorney or dui attorney in demand, such a caller is not a priority as such an individual will usually fall for false promises of one willing to take whatever money you will give them only to without fail be disappointed later.

3.) “I’m calling for a free consultation.” As stated earlier a top criminal defense lawyer or dui lawyer only has so many hours in the day to assist good people needing legal assistance. Although free legal assistance is offered, it is offered so as not to prevent a prospective paying client from calling, not as a public service to be available for all in need.

When is a Careful Driver at Risk for Being Stopped for Drunk Driving?

Most everyone has a general idea for reasons why a police officer will pull over a vehicle for suspected DUI: speeding, weaving, crossing the center line, running through a red light, etc. However, in an age where more and more police officers choose to “specialize” in the detection of drunk drivers, don’t always assume that driving carefully is going to help you avoid being stopped. Why? Because at a time when police officers enjoy the low risk, high reward notoriety of DUI vehicle stops, it only takes one convenient, yet legal excuse to pull you over.

DUI arrests have in many places become the arrest of choice for police officers across the nation. Unlike other arrests, stopping people suspected of DUI usually does not entail a police officer running the risk of a violent encounter, while also allowing he or she to claim the performance of a valued public service. As a result, please do not let the truth get in the way of reality: many police officers are looking for an excuse to pull your car over. Here are some tips to watch out for:

1.) Watch who you put in your vehicle. If you’re possibly driving near the legal limit your rowdy friend leaving the bar and getting into your car is trouble for you. Many police officers make it a practice of lurking outside bars, nightclubs, sporting events, etc. waiting for the “designated driver” of the intoxicated passenger. Why? Because police officers know more often than not, although you may not be AS intoxicated as your companion, chances are you’ve been drinking with them. Whether you’ve been “designated” driver or not, don’t be the focus of a disturbing trend to arrest a passenger for public intoxication as a pretext to questioning you, the driver, for driving above your state’s legal limit for intoxication.

2.) Do not drive too far below the posted speed limit or be too attentive. Police officers have told me that they enjoy tailing a vehicle so attentive that they stand out from the flow of traffic. Believe it or not if road conditions are such that you are the only vehicle in a group of cars traveling significantly below the speed limit, you are getting the officers eyeballs not on all those speeding around you, but on your automobile. In such a circumstance it is only a matter of time before the trailing police officer will initiate a potential DUI traffic stop.

3.) Have a nice car? Don’t show it off. Keep in the middle of the traffic flow. Police officers are people and take note of an attractive car as much as the next person. Beautiful things can inspire many things in a person; admiration, envy, sometimes jealousy. If you’ve been drinking do not be eager to show the world how fast your car is, it’s turning ability or the noise of its engine. If you do, be prepared to blow into a police breathalyzer. These hard earned wonders of your car you may be so proud of are not an advantage to avoiding traffic detection.

4.) Make sure your car has been properly registered with your department of motor vehicles. Yes my fellow drivers in many places your license plate can be run for no reason other than that you are driving a vehicle. As a result, make sure your license plate fees, registration etc. are valid so as not to allow a police officer a great excuse to pull over your carefully driven automobile for DUI.

An Overview on Arrest Warrant

Arrest warrants are not simple matters that can taken lightly by any individual who has an outstanding arrest warrant issued against their name by the court of law. The fact that the court has issued an arrest warrant against you means that there is something serious to base the warrants with and this should be looked into at once. If you are not aware of its existence, you can always check the internet if there are any issued arrest warrant against your name especially if you have reasons to believe that there could be a warrant against you.

There are a lot of reasons why an arrest warrant is issued against an individual. The most common factor for issuance of this particular warrant is contempt of court. For failing to appear on the schedule court appointment or from jumping bail or any other similar instances, a person can be issued an arrest warrant in order for the authorities to bring him into custody and face the charges in the court. Up until the charges are cleared can it only make the person be set free by the law enforcement agency which means also the end of existence for the arrest warrant.

Simply put, arrest warrants are legal documentation authorizing police officers or any authorized body within the framework of the judicial system to perform an arrest on behalf of the court of law. The reason for the issuance of arrest warrant is that the court found a probable cause in which to base the warrant.

Arrest warrants are not considered to be proof of guilt for the person being issued with it. By knowing your rights, arrest warrant is simply a legal document empowering authorities to conduct an arrest on behalf of the court. This is to ensure that the person in question will be present during a court proceeding and will be able to defend himself and answer the charges leveled against him either by a private party or the State itself. Until proven guilty, persons with arrest warrants are considered innocent of the crime accused of them.

If you believe that there could be an arrest warrant pending against you from any courts of law, it is only important that you check for it so as to have full knowledge whether there is an arrest warrant issued against your name. If you find that you are facing an arrest warrant, the only practical thing you can do is seek help form professionals who are experienced in handling cases such as this. By running away from it or from refusing to acknowledge the pending arrest warrant against you can only make the matters worse. Law enforcement agencies tend to look at persons who are hiding from arrest warrants as guilty individuals who are afraid to face the charges against them. Even if you are innocent of the crime charged against you, there is no way in which you can run away from. If it will not be issued today, expect that it will hunt you for as long as you can try to hide from it and until then, the authorities will presume that you are guilty even before being tried for the alleged offense leveled at you.
