text: is there site (for free) that i can check on other people's history of like..records?   http://www.publicrecordfinder.com/courtrecords2.html for some counties it is free. you have to know the county and state where they live. i have looked up my ex-coworkers from this site before (and discovered that some had felonies-and i could read about what they did) not all the counties have free access; however maybe you'll get lucky and the county that you need is free. the two main counties that i look at are 100% free. the important thing is that you have to know the county and the state in which the person lives, then click on that link. do not do a search from the main page.
