The victim’s family came to the decision that the University’s admission policies was to blame. Following a lawsuit, North Carolina’s university system began requiring criminal background checks on any student who raises red flags. North Carolina is not alone. Other states are considering following suit.

The question of student background checks is the subject of controversy. Vice President and Dean of Stetson Law School in Gulfport, Florida, Darby Dickerson, warns criminal background checks is a “legal and policy jigsaw puzzle” of campus safety, vs legal risk and individual rights. “Implementing background checks as part of the admissions process is not a panacea.” There is no easy answer.

Director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, Barmak Nassirian said he does not see background checks as very effective at improving campus safety. He sees this is as a form of “active discrimination.” There is no way to determine if somebody with a criminal record is likely to offend again. Colleges and Universities should serve students who are working to overcome a criminal past and turn their lives around. “Educating people and putting them on the right path is a social responsibility,” he says.

For example, in 1996, Congressman & Chairman of House Ways & Means Committee, Dan Rostenkowski served 17 months in prison for mail fraud. He even plead guilty! 2 years later, he’s hired by Fox Affiliate WFLD as a political commentator.

2008, City Clerk, James Laski is convicted of corruption, and does a year in the slammer. Shortly after getting out, he’s in business with a brand new radio show on WGN, Chicago.

“I sat down with the Daleys and the Blagojeviches and the Madigans…I’ve been there and done the good and bad. Here’s the thing: It’s time to move forward.”

It’s bad enough people are having a hard time finding work as it is, but this only makes it worse for them. Employers are digging deeper into people’s pasts. Even after the courts purged or expunged arrest information, and criminal records, offender’s pasts can still haunt them. Records can still appear in newspaper archives and data mining companies.

Getting criminal records expunged or sealed doesn’t come cheap and not everybody is eligible. Besides that, in the digital age, this is not a cure-all. Even if arrest records and criminal information are purged by the Clerk of the Court, or law enforcement agency, offenders’ pasts can still haunt them. Background information may still exist in private data mining companies. This raises the question, is it really possible to erase your digital criminal past? Unfortunately, this is the result of a growing information broker industry. Most of these private firms are unregulated, except for credit checks.

Unfortunately, private data companies have no legal obligation to remove criminal records from their database, so they can often provide more complete information to employers, hence many simply turn to private database firms to dig up the information.

Your employer is going to run a background check on you. Find out what your employer is going to see about you, whether the records contain falsehoods or errors, and whether you can or should have them expunged or sealed…

For law enforcement, tracing a cell phone number is easy. All they need to do is call the cell phone provider, however for civilians, the most common route is to hire a private investigator. As with any information not available to the public, techniques often used by professional investigators include:

Looking up credit headers. (Many people put their private phone numbers on credit applications. These numbers usually end up in reverse phone directories)

Call the cell phone number to convince the person they need to provide confirmation they own the account.

Call the provider to attempt to directly ask for the account holder’s information.

There are some easy steps you can take to protect your privacy.

Never give out your cell phone number along with your name or address. Private phone numbers end up in public phone number databases when someone applies for credit, loan or makes online transactions where a phone number is asked for along with the person’s address, despite assurances that your information will not be shared, or sold.

Ask your cell phone provider’s security department about safeguards they can offer to prevent unauthorized inquiries.

Don’t use your home address to activate your service if you can avoid it. Try using a PO box instead.

Some people use pre-paid cell phone accounts or “Track phones.” Most phone scam artists use them, since they are very difficult to trace.

Start Your Search Now!

Your State DMV is one of the most well known, most frequently used repositories of information used to track somebody down. Provided the person drives a car, it may all you need to locate a person. You will first want to request the person’s driving record. Depending on the state, the driving record may contain any of the following: Home address, SSN, date of birth; Physical characteristics – such as eye & hair color, height, and weight; Traffic violations, accidents, speeding tickets, license restrictions, etc.. Even if you do find the information you want, the address may no longer be valid, as people do move. If this occurs, but the driver’s record shows traffic violations or accidents, the next step is to ask for information about the violations, which will likely be much more current. If it’s a safe driver who doesn’t get tickets and moved, you may have a problem. If you have a license plate number, that can be used to request the vehicle registration record. Motor vehicle registrations must be renewed annually, so information there is more likely to be current than driving records, which are updated far less frequently. The vehicle the person is driving may be registered to someone else, but even this provides another lead, often to someone who does knows the person.

United States Post Office

When people move, most remember to fill out a change of address card with the Post Office. Change of address information is held onto by the post office for 2 years and is available to anybody who asks for it in person or by US mail. To request, simply main a post card or envelope to the invalid address with it marked ‘DO NOT FORWARD – FORWARDING ADDRESS REQUESTED’ and the post office will write the forwarding address on the envelope and them send it back to you using the return address. For those using a PO Box, the post office will not provide their real home address, in order to protect the person’s privacy, however, in the case of a business using a PO Box, the post office is required to provide the business owner’s address somebody who requests it.

Vital Records

This consists of birth, death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce records. Depending on the state, the general public may or may not have access to all this information. These types of records are often still kept on paper at the local courthouses, even in the information age. These are open for free to public viewing on their premises, which will of course require a trip to the local courthouse, and more than likely, plenty of coins for the parking meter.

Allbeit address information in these records may no longer be valid as people do move and get married, etc.., they may contain contacts or leads that can be useful for requesting public records from other sources Ie: date of birth from a birth certificate or parent’s address. If a person happens to be a woman but you are unsure if she has since gotten married or re-married or divorced, a name search at the appropriate agency could prove useful for disclosing her current name.

Voter Registration

Voter registrations are public record in most states, and may be requested using the person’s name. It’s always a good idea to try to have a full middle name. Depending on the state, this is obtained from a centralized source or county or township level. This will usually get you a home address but, also often a date of birth and occasionally a SSN.

Secretary of State

The Secretary of State can be a useful resource for obtaining information about a business or corporation, but can also be very helpful in finding a person’s address, in the event they hold some type of license issued by the state. Every state has different occupations, that require a special license. To find out if somebody has a license, request a name search from the appropriate S of S agency. Some of these state agencies have gone online.

Hunting & Fishing Licenses

It’s possible somebody whom you are searching for enjoys fishing or hunting, so you could try requesting a name search from the appropriate agency. In a few states with strict gun laws such as Massachusettes, there is mandatory gun registration & licensing. If found, most states will return an address and date of birth. It’s also a way to find out if somebody owns a gun.

Vessel-Boat Registrations

In most states, boat owners are required to register their boats. There are increasingly online search databases for these registrations.

Aircraft Registrations

In the US, aircraft owners are required to register their airplanes and helicopters. This information is open to the public and will contain the owner’s address.

Bankruptcy Records

Everyday, Americans are filing for bankruptcy in record numbers. These records are openly available to the public and very often offer a wealth of information, including assets, SSN, address, date of birth and employment history. To determine if any bankruptcy records exist, request a name search from the appropriate US bankruptcy court.

Corporation, Fictitious Name & UCC Filing Records

Corporations and businesses records are available in each state. Most of these are public records and offer a great source of information should somebody own or be involved in a business or corporation. Uniform commercial code (UCC) transactions are public record in most states. If somebody has ever borrowed from or lent money or other tangibles to a business, they would be listed within the UCC records. Many of these databases are now online.

Social Security Death Index

You can verify if somebody has died using the SSN Death database, which is available for free online.

County Courthouse

There are many public records available at your local County Courthouse. Most of these records can be searched for using just a person’s name.

Here are a few examples:

Assumption Agreements
Abstracts
Affidavits
Agreements (for deed, not to encumber)
Amended Judgments
Assignments – Liens, judgments, leases, mortgages
Breaches (Lease, contract, agreement)
Business records
Certificates (Tax, approval, merger, organization, title)

Very often, a search by the person’s name at Google or any one of the other search engines may turn up their resume, if they have one posted online. Unlisted phone numbers can often be found this way!

Try checking Public Records sites, State or Federal. Eventually nearly everybody has to sign up for a Government, license or certificate of some form or another, Ie: Driver’s licence, professional, occupational license, etc.. Think of some facts or ideas you may already know about this person, then search possible databases where they are likely to be listed. Try checking the Professional license databases or various states.

We have the most powerful multiple-database reverse records finder on the Internet!

Think of the different public records where people are required to provide a phone number in their paperwork such as a bankruptcy filing at the local US Bankruptcy Court. Thousands of Americans file for bankruptcy every day.

If you know the address of the person with the unlisted phone number, see if your local public library has a reverse phone directory, or “Criss-cross” directory. Most good libraries should have one.

Some other possible sources of unlisted phone numbers:

• DMV records
• Voter registrations
• Property records (county courthouse)
• City or county tax records

backgroundsearches.org has helped many people quickly find this information in one easy step, as it’s comprehensive database contains an estimated 70 million unlisted phone numbers! more…

All’s not lost. Depending on the state, with a bit of legwork, state public records may be of some help and most have some type of assistance available. If you wish to investigate what might be available to you.

The Web has fortunately been a Godsent for streamlining the reunion of many an adoptee and their birth parents. There are lots of adoption related search sites both national and international you can find via Google search. These sites generally function by keeping registrations of adoptees & birth parents where each may meet online and post a messages about themselves. Unfortunately this method is only successful if both people are searching for each other and usually find each other “by accident.” Some people turn to private investigators for help. Where a person is on the Federal Witness Protection Program, finding them is essentially impossible, until they are released from the program.

adoptionregistry.com is a good place to begin.
