Federal criminal searches are performed at the district court where records represent cases brought by the Federal Government against an individual or corporation for actions in violation of Federal Laws. All non-federal crimes are tried at the county courthouse of the county in which the crime occurred. A county criminal search is a seven-year search of all non-federal criminal cases, filed against an individual defendant in the highest court in the county.
