A recent press release from The wayne County (Detroit) Michigan 3rd Circuit Court announced that it has made online access available for record checks.
Of course, there is a disclaimer. No telling how many errors there are?
But the real problem is how many pre-employment screeners are going to use this sytem and bypass the 36th District Court - the REAL COURT - with the real information needed for searches to be properly done in Detroit.
The 3rd Circuit is the felony court.
And I think we all know that using the 'we return serious misdemeanors' doesn't hold up anymore. In fact by not doing the 36th District you're missing a lot of those 'serious misdemeanors' that never get to Circuit Court.
Note: 'Serious misdemeanors' at Circuit Court are usually lesser included offenses attached to felony charges, whether added, pleaded, or reduced
.
Did you know that that the 36th District processes more then a half a million cases a year?
Not as many as Cook County. But you still have to go to the courthouse to get a misdemeanor search done.
So even though the press release touted the accessibility to the court, we're still a long way off before we can start saying that that Detroit (wayne County) is online.
Keep hanging in there.
