Is it weird to look up a potential partners (especially one I have met online) criminal record?
In the state of Wisconsin, there is a thing called CCAP where you can look up peoples criminal record. It shows the details of the case, trial dates, sentence outcomes, etc.
It also shows if they got something like a speeding ticket. It only shows Wisconsin records, so if they did something in a different state, you do not see it.
A few years ago, I looked up a guy I was talking to online, and I found he was charged and found guilty of felony child abuse. I blocked him.
Ever since then, I always look up the men I am getting a bit serious about meeting up with.
I feel I am justified, and I only look up those men, not coworkers or anything weird. I was thinking about it though, and it crossed my mind that it could be an invasion of privacy. But it is public information, anyone can access
