I don't understand your question, are you trying to pursue someone for fraudulent activities in 1995 to get a conviction or are you trying to do a background check on someone?

A background check!
Yes .... a criminal record stays on your record. Some companies if you request a criminal check will only give you convictions, some will give you full history ie if a charge was ever laid against you. This sometimes is unfair for a person who might be applying for a job and has a history of a charge that might have been false. If you are still interested in getting further information about someone you can inbox me. There are fees involved and in most cases you should get a persons permission.
The security industry has to do checks to make sure their staff don't have criminal records - I wonder where they go? The SAP perhaps?

What does the LAW say? Surely a criminal record, where the person was actually found guilty in a court of law, should be public knowledge? I would imagine that every citizen has the right to know whether or not their neighbour/employee/nanny/etc is a convicted murderer or rapist or thief or whatever.
Why do you need their permission, Kevin? Is the general public not allowed to enquire about another person's criminal record?
Not sure of the actual legal answer, but I would imagine that no you are not entitled to enquire. The logic being that someone with a criminal record who is out of prison has served their time and done the punishment. They should now be allowed to get on with their lives afresh. Examples of exceptions being where you want to employ someone and previous cases of fraud might indicate their lack of trustworthiness and the sex offender list that the US has
If however they just want to get on with their lives and turn over a new leaf, that should possibly be able to do so.
I'm not necessarily in full agreement with the above, but I would imagine that would be the political view on the matter.
I wud like to check my criminal record.... How can I do dat!!
Send me your details to tack@iburst.co.za . I will give you a cost on it. There are two types 1. Full crim check ie will include every charge laid against someone or 2. Crim record check of eg if you were found guilty on anything which would not inlcude any arbitory possible charge laid against a person.
