Oklahoma Arrest Records Online List

By Ben Kingsley


The State of Oklahoma has an Open Record Act which allows its citizens to view and obtain public records, including Oklahoma Criminal Records. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is the office-in-charge of maintaining criminal records. They have a website where the public can view the complete records of every offender. Records of violent and sex offenders can be accessed at the website of the Department of Corrections.

Accessing your own criminal record is also allowed. If there are any inaccuracies or false information, you may ask to have it checked and corrected. If you are proven not guilty of the crime you are or were charged with, you can request to have the files expunged. And although the records are accessible by the public, there are certain limitations in terms of how the records can be used. They should not be used to harm, embarrass, defame, or blackmail another person. Anyone caught doing otherwise will be punished accordingly by the law.

There is always the presence of bad people in the society. And it is difficult to predict what bad deed they are planning of doing next. It is always handy to know the history of certain people, especially if you encounter them on daily basis. If you know which people have a history of having troubles with the law, you, and your family, will know who to refrain from getting acquainted with.

A complete criminal file is composed of a police report, arrest report, warrants of arrest, and the likes. It includes vital information such as the name of a criminal, alias, and address. It also includes their physical attributes like eye and hair color, height, weight, skin complexion, etc. There are details included in a criminal document that considered confidential and they are not made available to the public. And if a criminal document is being used in an ongoing case, they are only available to those who are authorized by the court and not to the general public.

If you want to get the files, you can place a request at the State Bureau of Investigation. You should be able to supply the full name and date of birth of the owner of files you want to get your hands on. You can do a name-based search for $15. If a name is widely used, you need to provide more information to increase the chances of locating the right files. If you do a finger-print based, the bureau will charge you $19. The Department of Corrections also accepts requests for a fee of $2.

The court allows privately-owned websites to maintain and disseminate copies of Free Public Criminal Records. There are several service providers that offer criminal records. Each service provider offers different information. The Internet stores a vast amount of information. Unfortunately, not everything you can find online is genuine. Do a background check on certain websites to find out what kind of information they offer, does it fit your search needs, and if they have a good track record.
