In most locations, it is pretty easy...just google "search criminal records" and it will lead you to the link.

I am trying to obtain criminal/traffic ticket/civil info on a few people in Brooklyn and Queens. All I get is a bunch of popup crap from third party sites wanting me to pay.

If I take a quick search on the Kings or Queens sites, the emphasis is on how to drive somewhere to go get them.

Are driving/criminal/civil records not readily available online like they are in most other places?

Thanks

most of that stuff is not available to the public . you need to pay for it through places like spokeo or checkmate .

i think you may be able to get a driving record on your own . not sure .

You may not be able to get anything. However depending upon the purpose you may require persons obtain a certificate of good conduct from the NYPD. That document is basically a criminal background check (federal and local) done via fingerprint check.


Failing this you can do what those websites claim; a court record search.


Criminal court case records as IIRC also arrest records are open to the public by law (it is part of the USC for that matter), unless sealed. Problem is finding out where the records reside.


As for the rest, again Google is your friend:
