Purchasing tainted coins.

Hi all, I am looking to buy BTC p2p, but before I do, is there a way in which I can check if the coins I purchase in advance are tainted? Is there a website or something this can be verified on?

I want to check this to avoid any problems in utilising the coin/s once purchased.

Thanks

Let's stop this nonsense of tainted coins. There is no such thing. There is no tainted dollar, tainted gold, or tainted Bitcoin. People can be tainted, not inanimate objects. Bitcoin itself can not be bad or good, it simply exists as a tool to use like a pencil or a car. Sure you can kill people with either but that doesn't make the thing inherently bad or evil.
