Criminal Records
Where do criminal records start ? I mean does it show up on your record that you have been arrested but not charged with anything (actually can you be arrested and later released without being charged) ? Are things that involve a judge and a court are the only things show up on your record ? Does it show up on your record when you go down to the police station and have a chat with the police about some case ? I'm just trying to get a clear understanding of what goes on your criminal record and what doesn't. Also if I want to perform a criminal background check on a furture employee strictly as an employer how would I go about doing it ? Do I go to my local police department and ask for one ? How long far back do you need to search in a persons past 5 years, 10 year, entire life ? Anyone owning their company who's hired someone to work for them done this before ? Can soneone shed any light on either of my questions or point me to a web page would be much appreciated.
