Disclaimer – Arrests.org
Arrests.org provides informational content about arrest records, booking details, and publicly available criminal justice information. The Arrests.org website is intended for general informational purposes only and should not be considered an official government source, legal advice, or proof of guilt. Arrest records may contain outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate information, so users should verify details through the appropriate official government agencies. An arrest does not establish guilt, and individuals are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
Independent Ownership and Government Non-Affiliation
arrests.org is a privately operated informational website that publishes general information about arrest records, booking reports, jail listings, warrants, court records, and related public-record matters. The website is independent of municipal, county, state, and federal government offices, law enforcement agencies, police departments, sheriff’s offices, detention facilities, and courts.
The website does not represent a government agency, act on behalf of a public authority, or claim official approval from any government organization. References to agencies, courts, jurisdictions, and record systems identify external sources or subjects of informational content.
NOTICE: arrests.org is an independent private website. It is not a government agency, law enforcement office, or court, and its content does not replace official public records.
Names, logos, agency titles, and other identifying references belonging to third parties remain associated with their respective owners. Their appearance on this website does not establish sponsorship, endorsement, certification, or a formal partnership.
Purpose and Scope of Website Information
arrests.org publishes general information relating to arrest reports, booking events, jail listings, warrants, court proceedings, criminal case records, and public agencies. Website material may include summaries, descriptions, links to outside websites, and references to publicly available records.
Information may be incomplete, outdated, incorrectly indexed, or different from the latest official entry. A listing does not certify a person’s identity, criminal history, legal status, or current circumstances.
The website does not guarantee that every record category, jurisdiction, or event will appear in its content. Availability depends on the sources consulted, publication practices, and applicable restrictions.
Fair Credit Reporting Act Status
arrests.org is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The website does not represent its content as a consumer report for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other eligibility decisions regulated by that statute.
The website does not claim to perform the identity verification, permissible-purpose review, dispute procedures, or other compliance functions required of consumer reporting agencies. Website material must not be treated as a substitute for a legally compliant consumer report obtained from an authorized provider.
Visitors are responsible for complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws when using information obtained from the website.
Permitted and Prohibited Uses

| Tenant or rental applicant screening | Prohibited |
| Credit eligibility decisions | Prohibited |
| Insurance underwriting | Prohibited |

Public availability does not make information suitable for every purpose. Visitors must not use website content to make decisions that require a consumer report or another legally authorized screening process.
Prohibited Activities and Statutory Restrictions
Visitors must not use information from arrests.org to evaluate job applicants, employees, tenants, borrowers, insurance applicants, caregivers, babysitters, housekeepers, or other domestic workers. Copying, transferring, combining, or republishing information for a prohibited screening purpose is subject to the same restriction.
Other prohibited activities include:
- Harassment or intimidation: Using personal information to threaten, stalk, or target another person.
- Misrepresentation: Presenting website content as a certified background report or official government record.
- Unlawful discrimination: Using information for a decision prohibited by applicable law.
- Identity misuse: Using personal details for fraud, impersonation, or another unlawful purpose.
- Restricted information: Publishing protected information in violation of legal restrictions or court orders.
- Unauthorized commercial use: Representing website content as an authorized screening product when it is not.
An arrest does not establish guilt, and a criminal charge does not establish a conviction. A case may end in dismissal, acquittal, amendment, or another disposition. Visitors must not treat an arrest listing as proof that a person committed a crime.
Public Records and Data Update Delays
Public records may be maintained by county clerks of court, county recorders, sheriff’s offices, police departments, detention facilities, state agencies, and other public bodies. Each source may follow different publication schedules, retention policies, correction procedures, and restrictions.
arrests.org may rely on publicly available information, external databases, third-party sources, and published agency material. The website does not control when another organization creates, releases, updates, or corrects a record.
| Record source | Potential limitation |
|---|---|
| Electronic court docket | Entries may appear after processing or review |
| Physical courthouse file | Documents may not immediately appear in an online index |
| Jail roster | Booking, transfer, or release information may be delayed |
| Law enforcement publication | Publication schedules may vary by agency |
| Third-party data feed | Entries may contain omissions or older information |
| Aggregated search listing | Names, dates, identifiers, and statuses may differ |
A delay may occur between an event, the creation of a record, publication by an agency, and appearance on an independent website. Electronic feeds may repeat entries, omit details, or retain information that an official source has already changed.
Records may change following a dismissal, amended charge, court order, release, sealing, or expungement. Visitors should verify current details with the responsible agency before relying on any listing.
Official Record Verification
Visitors who require dependable information should obtain the current record directly from the responsible public office. Website listings are informational references and are not certified records.
Use these steps when checking a record:
- Identify the jurisdiction: Determine the county, state, court, or agency associated with the event or proceeding.
- Locate the official office: Find the relevant court clerk, county recorder, sheriff’s office, police department, or detention facility.
- Use an official source: Confirm that the website belongs to the public agency and review its record request procedures.
- Compare identifying details: Check the full name, case number, booking number, event date, and other lawful identifiers.
- Review the original document: Obtain the official docket, disposition, release information, or court order when required.
- Confirm current status: Contact the record custodian if the available information appears incomplete or inconsistent.
Some records require a written request, a fee, identity verification, or an in-person visit. Other records may be confidential, sealed, expunged, or restricted by law. The relevant agency determines what it can release and what procedure applies.
No Warranties and As-Is Information
Website content is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, arrests.org disclaims express and implied warranties relating to accuracy, completeness, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, and availability.
The website does not promise that every record will appear, that every entry is current, or that search results will be free from errors. Information may contain misspellings, duplicate entries, incomplete descriptions, outdated statuses, or incorrect identifiers.
Technical interruptions, maintenance, third-party outages, changes to source databases, and broken links may affect website operation. Visitors are responsible for checking information independently before making decisions.
Nothing in this section removes a legal right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

Questions about criminal charges, warrants, court appearances, record sealing, expungement, or other legal matters should be directed to a qualified attorney or the appropriate public office.
