Missouri case net kind of lets you do a background check on people.Just wondering if Illinois has the same type of service online.https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet ...
The state abbreviation (such as MO) is sometimes required because quite often there is more than one city with the same name in the US. There is a "Portland" in Maine and one in Oregon; Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas (same city, but the state line runs across the city), and almost each state has it's own "Springfield".
@Traveller An internet search shows "reservation in anticipation of demand" is a common prohibition in terms and conditions, but does not seem to give an interpretation of what it means legally or in practice. Gemini AI does give an interpretation, but only by restating the answers to this particular question, which is a little circular.
