You do not need to be a private investigator, a law enforcement officer, or a government official in order to spy on anyone. How is it possible for the average person to do this?

The answer is simple: public government records.

Every city, county, state, and federal government agency is required to make its records about people available to the public for anyone to access upon request.

Some examples of public information that you can search about anyone are: marriage records, birth, divorce, death, real estate transfer records, mortgage and refinance, property tax payment records, foreclosure, bankruptcy, traffic violations, criminal, sex offender records, lawsuits and judgments, child custody records, and alimony records. All of this information is and has always been made publicly available to everyone since the foundation of our government. Not only that, but now you can even Google search millions of people to get information about them. You can even get phone number information about anyone and search for them by social security number.

If you want to spy on anyone you can easily search for information about them. All you need to know is where to look. Most of this information is available in government offices. Most civil records are kept at county recorders offices or county courthouses.

With the emergence of the information technology and Internet, many government agencies across the nation are storing their data electronically in databases and making these databases searchable online on the Internet.

So now you can search for all of this public data on the Internet within minutes and find out information about anyone.
