This is not an easy question to answer because the answer depends on your personal history. That is one of the reasons why the new JusticeOne db is going to be an improvement; you don't need to know if the person in question has a military or criminal background or what state he lives in now or previously and all kinds of things like that. Until the new db is finished, the best thing to do is contact one of these online outfits that will work-up a dossier on anyone by searching all available databases. Another way would be to do something that will force creation of a new file for you, like committing a serious crime (according to local law) and then having your attorney requesting the content. Once you have the information, if you find something that you feel is untrue or unwarranted, you will have to deal with the specific source agency to determine what evidence is required to correct the error. Just remember that there is no universally accepted definition of truth; only a preponderance of evidence for civil affairs and a reasonable doubt for criminal. I hope this helps, Leland.
