Criminal records offer comprehensive reports of unlawful acts perpetrated by an individual. Whenever an individual is caught and convicted of illegal activity, the details are documented in their criminal record. After the conviction is made, the details are updated to local, state, and federal jurisdictions such as police departments, sheriffs’ offices, and specialty agencies like the FBI. Any person who perpetrates a crime and is convicted of it over the age of 18 will have a publicly viewable Maryland criminal record.
