My question involves criminal records for the st
ate of: north carolina
A little background info...my girlfriend has a child with her ex. Her exes mother is a dispatcher fir the county sheriffs office. Girlfriends neighbor is a detective for that sheriffs office.
Unclear as to why...but girlfriends exes mother(dispatcher) had extensive criminal background checks done on both myself and my girlfriend. Her neighbor (also detective )stated that she had asked him to do the checks as she wasn't authorized to do so. He never stated whether or not he actually followed through with the request. There were several items on my report that are incorrect and list neither ssn or dob. There are a few that took place when I was in elementary school so obviously I didn't receive a dui at that age.
My question ...are either of the parties that are involved with LE within the scope of the law pertaining to obtaining this extensive criminal background? I've neither been arrested nor are currently involved in any investigation of any sort. There is alot of spite involved between exes mother and my girlfriend.
Was/is the detective (neighbor) within the law to pull these records? Are they public record available to whomever wishes to pay the fee? Am I legally required to authorize the request for this record? Should I have been?
Thanks to anyone that can contribute to my questions
