Terms of Use

Use of this site means that you accept these terms. If any condition is unacceptable, do not access or use the site.

DeKalb County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no connection to a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-covered decision. The site points visitors toward DeKalb County and Alabama jail-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This private reference has no government ties and stores no official jail or court record. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request or court paper for a user.

Its role is to identify DeKalb County inmate and jail resources and, in some places, connect a visitor with an outside research tool.


Acceptable Use

Access is conditioned on lawful and respectful use. You agree that you will not:

  • Break a law through or in connection with the site.
  • Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Attempt to enter systems or accounts without authorization.
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated extraction tools.
  • Interfere with access or normal service for another visitor.

No Consumer Reports

Neither this site nor its advertising partners is a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use any information reached here for:

  • A decision to hire, discipline, or dismiss a worker.
  • Tenant selection or another housing decision.
  • Creditworthiness, lending terms, or insurance premiums.
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Third-Party Destinations

Links may open jail rosters, release feeds, sheriff and corrections sites, government portals, legal-aid resources, or independent search services. We do not endorse or control their content, availability, security, or treatment of data. Review each destination's terms before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are provided "as is" and without warranties. We do not guarantee:

  • That content is accurate, complete, or current.
  • That service will always be available without interruption.
  • That software is free from errors, defects, or security flaws.
  • That any partner search produces complete results.

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by a sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other public office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance, or use.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or your breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to DeKalb County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, altered, or republished without prior written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.


Suspension of Access

We may restrict or end access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Alabama Law Applies

Alabama law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction within Alabama.


Severability

If a court finds one part invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary.
