Legal Answers
- Q. How do I know if I have any criminal charges against me
- A: Visit or call your local police department or sheriff's office. They often maintain public records and can let you know if there's an outstanding warrant or charge in their jurisdiction.
Check Court Records:
Many states and counties have online court databases where you can search for criminal cases by entering your name or case number. You can search for your state or county's court website.
Use an Online Public Records Service:
Several websites offer background checks and criminal record searches, although they may charge a fee. Examples include BeenVerified, Instant Checkmate, and TruthFinder.
Consult with an Attorney:

Although proximity (being in the same place) is not enough to convict you of possession (knowledge plus control) it certainly is enough for an arrest.
