Which action is used to verify an individual's prior criminal records?

• A. Firearms check
• B. Check criminal history
• C. Sensor hit
• D. TECS lane check

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to pull official records to confirm what a person has been charged with or convicted of. The action that does this directly is to check criminal history, which queries nationwide and state databases for past arrests, charges, and dispositions. This gives a clear, documented picture of a person’s prior offenses. A firearms check, while it may touch on criminal history, is focused on whether someone is eligible to possess a firearm rather than compiling a full history. TECS lane checks screen for risk signals and flags in intelligence systems at the border, not provide a complete criminal record. A sensor hit relates to alerts from security sensors, not to a person’s documented criminal history.
