What public sites do you use for backround checks?

I use pacer.gov to search court cases, which is very useful.  I was wondering what other sites you guys use for screening tenants before paying for credit and backround checks.

PRIOR to background  and credit, I just search the local county online records and make calls to past landlords and employer. For the actual payed background and credit, I use mysmartmove which charges the tenant directly. I have been happy with the information provided on there, it goes down even to 10 year old speeding tickets. I am impressed with the info given.
