Searching For a Public Record Has Always Been Difficult


Posted August 30, 2018 by staterecords

That’s where StateRecords.org hopes to service their country, and the public at large, by providing a modern approach to searching for records online.

 
Since the introduction of the Freedom of Information Act in the late 1960s, getting access to public records, including everything from those concerning the actions of the courts and police, to marriages, divorces, and deaths, have been a matter of public record.

In order to help the general public help isolate and gain access to those records, laws like the FOIA have protocols, like the nicknamed FOIL applications, that help encourage the government to divulge these records, but the processes for records not readily given have always been inelegant. Even records that are not hidden behind a FOIL submission are often scattered between numerous government departments, and it is only at government workers behest that these records can be obtained.

To that end, many records end up in online databases, where anyone can search for records, usually at a price, in the comfort of home and hearth, but without much money to allocate to improving these services, many municipalities are left with antiquated searching methods and archives that are inconsistent.

That’s where StateRecords.org hopes to service their country, and the public at large, by providing a modern approach to searching for records online.

By utilizing the new StatEngine (Search Tiering and Tessellation), StateRecords is able to parse through search terms more effectively, and provide effective results with limited information. Because of this, searches made with the StatEngine need minimal input, and searching for a public records can begin with just a name or an address.

The power of this engine allows StateRecords to allocate more resources to enhancing the user experience, rather than improving their search effectiveness even further. Articles and periodicals are published on a weekly basis, and center on improving the user experience by making their state’s, city’s, or municipality’s government easier to understand and work with. Articles on Criminal Justice Systems, the history of the state’s court systems, the Freedom of Information act as a whole, and what kind of information to expect in a record that you find.

With laws like the FOIA, and services such as StateRecords.org, the United States continues to seek a fair, open, and just society for all of its citizens, or those attempting to join it’s citizenry. With open records, that are easily found, people in the United States are able to understand their rights and the precedents that define them, and hold both their authorities and criminals to the same standard of accountability.
