One search, every public dataset
OPR consolidates what otherwise takes dozens of separate searches — court dockets, sheriff arrest rosters, federal court filings, OFAC sanctions lists, FBI Most Wanted, HHS-OIG LEIE exclusions, state unclaimed-property databases, and business-entity records — into a single per-case page. Every claim on every page is sourced to the primary feed it came from.
Verified sources, no aggregator chains
We don't cite aggregators. Every fact ties back to a primary source: U.S. courts via GovInfo and PACER, FBI for fugitive matches, the U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN list, HHS-OIG's LEIE database, state secretaries of state for business records, and state unclaimed-property agencies. When a primary source moves or removes content, we update — typically within 24-48 hours of detection.
Deep Web Search — context, not noise
Every court-case page runs a Deep Web Search across major search engines and surfaces the most relevant articles about the named party. We score relevance: a full-name match plus state + legal context ("indicted," "lawsuit," "charged") scores high; a Will Smith movie review scores zero. Articles that don't cross the relevance threshold simply aren't shown.
Compliance built in
OPR is not a Consumer Reporting Agency under FCRA, and the data we display is not for employment, credit, housing, or tenancy decisions. Every page makes that disclosure. We honor opt-out and removal requests from individuals once they confirm identity and provide the sealing order (where applicable). California residents can also use the state's new DROP platform.
What you won't find here
We do not publish unverified mugshots, we do not republish sealed records, we do not display juvenile cases, and we do not run a paid "removal" service that monetizes anxiety. Removal is free for qualifying records; the only thing we ask for is documentation.
