Pay-for criminal records:

The best:

  • Reporters Edge.com Designed by a former journalist. It's pay-per-use -- but with no sign up or subscrition fees and dirt cheap: as little as $5 for a US-wide criminal records search.
  • KnowX   
  • Criminal Watchdog Extensive, comprehensive and inexpensive access to local, state, regional and national criminal records
  • Querydata One of the least expensive ways to gather information on someone in the United States. You can get statewide Criminal Conviction Records for $2.95, search driving records in 50 states, or do a complete check on someone for $9.95 -- including possible family members, neighbours, tax liens and civil judgments, aircraft ownership, and bankruptcies
  • Autotrack
