Does anyone have access to public records such as criminal backround?

public records search
Lisa N asked:


Ok, I know someone that said they’d be out of town for a month, while they were gone, I looked them up online and it showed they were in jail for 1 month! When they came back and I searched again, it was gone. The will county, IL. circuit court system charged a fee to access online, as well as many other backround sites? Does anyone have access? Email me and I’ll give you the name of this person if you can check.
This is just for knowledge, and should be available because it is a matter of public record.

Thanks!
I don’t want to do anything illegal by getting this info.

    If they were in jail then it is public record. You can call any local jail and they will tell you if the person is in or not and what their charges are (or you may have to go in person)… but regarding their “criminal background”, you cannot find out of they have a rap sheet, meaning what and why they were convicted if it was a felony charge. If they are a sex offender, that is also public record.
