Which of the following is NOT a typical online database for a private investigator?

PACER
FamilyTree Legends
NCIC
TLO

The correct answer is: FamilyTree Legends

FamilyTree Legends is not a typical online database commonly utilized by private investigators. This database focuses primarily on genealogy and family history research, helping users to construct family trees and trace ancestry. While these aspects can be interesting and occasionally relevant in the context of personal investigations, they do not serve the core needs of private investigations, which often require information on criminal records, public records, and other pertinent details that can assist in a case. In contrast, the other options serve direct investigative purposes. PACER provides access to federal court records, which can be crucial for background checks and legal investigations. NCIC is a national database containing criminal information and is an essential tool for law enforcement and private investigators to check on criminal history and warrants. TLO is a comprehensive investigative database that offers various types of public records, including contact information, asset searches, and other vital data that private investigators frequently rely on during their work.
