It took me a long time to decide if this was the morally right thing to do, but in the end my curiosity got the best of me and I went to the courthouse to order one. I was asked to fill out a form with as much information about the person as possible, although they only needed the name and date of birth in order to run the check. As I filled out the form, I asked the person behind the counter if the fact that I asked for a criminal background check would become public knowledge. She assured me that it would not. I paid my five dollars and was told that I would need to give them twenty-four hours in order to process my request. The next day, I came back to the courthouse and asked for the report. I was relieved to see that this person had no prior convictions or outstanding warrants. Just to make sure that they didn't find out that I had looked up this info, I quickly tore up the sheet of paper and threw it away there.
