Before the ability to do these searches online came about the process of searching for and finding public records in any state was a much more tedious task. In the case of Louisiana criminal records a visit to the court house in which the trial or court proceedings took place was in order. Court house's, whether federal, state, county, or municipal, were all charged with storing all their court records.

If you knew the particular court where the person you are interested in may have a record it wasn't too difficult to find out what kind of criminal record they may have. It was simply a matter of going to that particular court house and putting in a request for a retrieval of any public criminal records for that person. The only drawback to doing it this way was having to wait at least 72 hours while the records were being retrieved.

criminalsearches is a great site, but I would say still do your other checks on other sites. Some time it doesn’t show the guy I am looking for, and the state has a record for him a mile long. Sometimes it gives me things the state doesn’t, so it is worth using.
