Wisconsin has a website where you can type in a person's name and see if they have any charges against them...anywhere from simple traffic stops to bankruptcy/foreclosures. I'm looking for something similar with California. Please help! Thanks.

For the record, this isn't for me. Just a really stupid alcoholic old friend that just called me up tonight to tell me he's in trouble. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid.

I've been doing background checks and records searches online for years, as it is part of my business. I am a former detective, and currently a professional private investigator by trade. What I can tell you is this: You cannot obtain these records for free. You simply cannot. For every service provided online, there is typically either a one time cost, or a fee you pay every single month. Some services are better than others.
Some more expensive, some less. In my line of work, I am signed up for a service where I am billed monthly. However, if you are just the average person needing information on a particular person or property, I would suggest http://www.echeck.pcti-system.com ... For a one time fee, they are by far the best, cheapest, and most thorough service available. If you are strictly in business like myself, and don't mind being billed automatically every single month, I would recommend E-Verify or Inteligator.

Many states have computerized their court systems. However, there is an intentional disconnect between the federal and state systems. I.e. the federal system isn't available with a check of the state system, and vice versa.
Your best option would be to contact the clerk of a california court, (if you believe there are charges) and ask them for guidance. If there are felony charges, then those charges would show up by calling any police department.. those are usually listed in the NCIC.
Perhaps one of my California compatriots will have more specific information, but if you think there is a problem, the best bet is to not do anything until you find out for sure. If you think your friend has a warrant out, then you should suggest that he contact an attorney, and the contact law enforcement to arrange for his surrender.

I used that website http://www.echeck.pcti-system.com .. the one referenced by that detective guy. I found exactly what I was looking for. So much for Mr Right, or rather Mr Convicted Felon with 2 Liens against him totaling over 30,000$ and an ex-wife I never knew about!! Thank God I found out the truth before it was too late. We were almost engaged!!
