If it is your record then yes. You are legally able to look at any records about you. If it's about someone else then no. They cannot do it not even for a fee. Only a lawyer or FBI or someone like that can do that. Employers are able to do that too, but I'm sure it costs for them

How could you ask such a question without telling us which state you live in?
I am even more puzzled how other people could glibly answer the question without knowing the state in question. Each state is different. Remember, we do not have a national form of government, it is federal (as in "federation') meaning each state gets to make its own laws.
That being said, some states place tight restrictions on access to computerized criminal records (Massachusetts). Other states do not (Florida). In some of those states, yes, it is correct you can have a criminal record check done on a person by making application at a local police or sheriff's office. In other states, you must contact the central state agency in charge of the records in order to gain access.
It is a matter of constitutional law that in a democracy justice is presumed to be public, not secret, so the original paper documents will be available for inspection in the courthouse in which the case was originally heard (with some exceptions).
But as for the computerized "rap" of a person, access varies from state to state. The FBI cross-references the computerized records from each state and only tracks serious felonies. The federal computer records are not open to the public (because of the state laws in the states where the records came from).
Generally speaking, however, wherever you go to get a records search, it will not be free.

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.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNSfA
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Criminal histories are restricted to investigative or employment reasons and are audited on a regular basis to prevent misuse of the information. If you just want a local warrant check on yourself, you can go to the police station (in person) and they will look for you.

No, but you can go to your county clerk of court's website and look in the public records. They are free, and public (obviously).

Generally, no. But, depending on your state, often those records are public and you can find them on your county sheriff's website.

If it is your record, you can contact the FBI for that. However no, the police will not do this.
