Straightline Criminal Records Test Of Courts And Police Records Produce Unexpected Result

January 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

Last year, Straightline tested thousands of searches with both the court and police records.

The closet study of this nature was performed in the late 90's by the State of Florida comparing name only checks to fingerprint ID checks.

All of us who were around then remember the results.  Our  industry's term, "false positive", came as a result of that study.

But what we resulted in our test result was unexpected and stunning.

Do not bank on getting as many hits or any hits at all using police databases on a name check basis.

The hit ratio from the court far exceeded the one from the state police by up to 50%.

The test results are available for those serious about criminal records.
