Are possession records criminal records?
Possession records are public criminal records. A possession record shows if a person has been arrested and convicted for possession of drugs or other substances prohibited by the law.
Laws and regulations vary from state to state. In some states even the smallest amount of marijuana is considered a major crime and will result into serious criminal record. In other states the rules are not so harsh. Regardless, having possession record on you name is certainly something you do not want to happen as it can significantly influence your professional, personal and social life.
How to check if a person has possession records?
Checking if a person has possession records is quite easy. You can do so by checking the public records at the police department or checking the court dockets at the local court. In both cases you will need to know where to look for the records as well as some details about the person, when they were arrested and (in case you will search court dockets) the number of the case.
An easier way to look for possession records is via the Internet. There are many great public criminal records databases where you can check anyone's records. The biggest advantage of an online search is that you can search all records at the same time even if you have no idea where the person was arrested and where the records physically are. Moreover you can search even if you know only the name of the person whose records you want to obtain.
