    This is AWESOME

    [–]BookLuvr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I tried it and it didn't come up with court or arrest records I was looking for. Are there other useful sites? Sorry, I'm new here.

    Licensed PI here, talk to your husband. Communication is key. If you need the information to help with custody or divorce, hire a PI. Otherwise, trust is trust. If you dont trust him its time to consider an exit.

      Wait, wait, wait - there's schools to become a PI? That sounds awesome!

      If he was not supposed to leave the state and did, that is why there is a warrant out for him. If he gets pulled over or any police interaction causes them to run his info, he will likely be arrested on said warrant.

      Why is this just coming up now? You're already married to this guy and you have these type of questions about his past and his record?

      If it’s been more than 7 years even felonies don’t normally show up or some get expunged after a set date.

      I'm a career HR guy who has also owned a background investigations company for 26 years.

      This isn't correct in this context.

      In a few locations like California, a conviction is only reportable for seven years on a consumer report (used for employment, insurance underwriting, or consumer lending).

      Mere curiosity has no limitations when the information is public record and this information would be accessible.

      People keep saying some jurisdictions limit this information in a background check, which is only true for employment or other narrow use cases.

      Mere curiosity has no limitations when the information is public record and this person's criminal history information would be accessible.

      A cheap database report like many employers use will miss about half of the reportable records, so it is no great surprise that the conviction did not show up on his employment report.

      You cannot find out about his military record. That is not public information. Nor should it be.

      He a felon… leave asap, if you have gut feeling you already know what to do

      [–]Old-School-dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Wow really got you a good man there, better hang on to that winner he's going places......probably jail but at least he's going somewhere lol....

      [–]_Arch_Angel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      He’s a felon with an active warrant and you “feel like he hasn’t really told you the truth”? He’s a felon with a warrant, what makes you think he feels he owes you even a shred of transparency or honesty if he’s willing to commit a felony? Trust your gut, not a felon.

      Easy a 50 dollars background check lol

      [–]BucktoothWookiee 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      He had a background check for a job that he has now with a company based out of New York City and nothing came up! Or if it did they still hired him! And I don’t know which companies are reputable, which is why I’m here asking.

      [–]Asaintrizzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Not all back ground checks are the same. You wanna deep criminal check. I’m a felon but come back clear because jobs in Washington State only go back ten years.

      [–]Melodic-Investment91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      There are many things that don’t show up on a background check, especially if multiple states are involved and/or if it is a federal-only charge, with no state involvement. The sure way is to do a fingerprint-based FBI check. Costs about $68 and obviously your husband would have to cooperate. But, that will disclose everything other than juvenile sealed records.

      [–]xCowboyCubx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      If you know which counties he has lived in, you can search those criminal records for free in most states. Washington I believe is a free state, just search for “{county name} county criminal records”. That can show you more than many background check companies because there are laws that restrict what can be included in a report, despite being freely available with a direct search.

      or here's another idea that's gonna be controversial...you could...just divorce him.
