In this era of increasing awareness of crime, especially sex offenders, there is seriously a real need for many ordinary people, to check criminal backgrounds of those whom they entrust with their children, or plan to marry, or take on as new business partners. Many Americans find themselves flabbergasted with disbelief when they found out someone who they entrusted with their business or worse – their kids, was a suspected criminal.
The problem is felony and misdemeanor convictions are scattered about a confused myriad of jurisdictions throughout the country. A relatively minor misdemeanor reckless driving conviction might show up in one state, while a minor drug possession conviction might show up in another, but a serious felony conviction of violent assaults or rape may end up being missed all together. A registered child sex offender from New Orleans who evacuated the Hurricane Katrina disaster and failed to register in another state as required by law may slip through the cracks and show up clean in another state.
Private investigators, like attorneys are very expensive, even for the most basic services. When it comes to serious criminal security matters, expense is always an important consideration, as we all know private investigators do not come cheap. There are now a number of effective and inexpensive do-it-yourself investigation tools available that have helped many people find valuable information on somebody, on their own, thereby eliminating the need for a private investigator in many cases. Some investigation products are duds, or offer poor customer service, while others are outstanding.
