2. Lawyers' right to inquire about criminal records. In order to perform defense duties according to law, the defense lawyer's request to inquire about the criminal records of the suspects and defendants in this case shall be granted.
3. Ordinary citizens' inquiry authority Ordinary citizens are not allowed to inquire about other people's criminal record information at will. If it is really necessary to inquire about other people's criminal information, it shall provide corresponding written materials (mainly for the purpose of inquiry) according to the requirements of the information management organ, and can inquire about relevant criminal records after examination and approval.
If you want to know whether a person has been sentenced and how long he has been sentenced, you can apply to the judgment court, or go to the judgment document network, or ask the person who received the judgment. If it is a case that is not tried in public, or a case involving personal privacy or state secrets, the trial is not open, but the judgment is open. Generally speaking, this personal privacy can hardly be found through relevant departments. However, when recruiting employees, individual employers need the public security organ to issue a certificate of no criminal record, and the interviewee himself can go to the public security organ to issue this certificate. In addition, except for the normal work of the relevant administrative and judicial organs of the state, it is a violation of discipline or even illegal for any public official to conduct an investigation without permission. It is generally not acceptable to go to the public security bureau to check a person's information, because personal privacy is protected by national laws. However, if the public security organ considers it reasonable and legal according to the reasons for the applicant's application, it may decide to help with the inquiry, such as missing persons, finding relatives, committing crimes, etc. And go to the public security organ for consultation.
