Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern use of Washington County Busted Mugshots. By browsing or using the site, a visitor agrees to these terms. Anyone who does not accept them should not use the site or its linked tools.

Washington County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not connected with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this service nor its advertising partners offers a consumer-reporting service under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency, and it may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference service, not an official record custodian. It does not hold county jail rosters, booking photographs, court files, or a live database, and it cannot verify a person’s present custody, arrange release, or file documents. Washington County and Nebraska public agencies control their own records and procedures.

The site identifies official Washington County, Nebraska, and federal information paths and may present third-party research tools. For public-record access, the relevant official framework includes Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-712.01, which governs records held by public bodies, not promises by this private site.


Acceptable Use

Use the site lawfully, carefully, and without interfering with other visitors or the service.

  • Do not violate a law or regulation while using the service.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not attempt to access systems, accounts, or data without authorization.
  • Do not crawl, scrape, deploy bots, or use other automated means to collect site material.
  • Do not disrupt, overload, or impair the service for other visitors.

FCRA Prohibited Uses

Washington County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither the site nor its advertising partners may be used for a purpose regulated by the FCRA. By using the site, a visitor agrees not to use any content for the prohibited purposes below.

  • Making a hiring, firing, or employment decision.
  • Evaluating a tenant or housing applicant.
  • Determining creditworthiness or insurance pricing.
  • Assessing eligibility for a license, permit, or government program.
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA.

External Resources

Links may lead to jail rosters, activity reports, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, federal locators, and outside search services. Those sites are independently operated. Washington County Busted Mugshots does not endorse them and is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, availability, or results. Review each destination’s own terms before using it.


Information Provided As Is

The site and its material are offered “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. No representation is made that information will be complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that a partner’s search result will be thorough.

Custody information and public records can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, a court, the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, or another public agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Washington County Busted Mugshots and its owners, contributors, and partners are not liable for damages, losses, or claims arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an external resource.


Indemnification

A visitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Washington County Busted Mugshots and its owners, contributors, and partners from claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from that visitor’s use of the site or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Material

The site’s original text, graphics, logo treatment, and code are owned by Washington County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, modified, or used beyond permitted law without prior written permission.


Term Updates

These terms may be changed at any time. Revised terms take effect when they are posted here, and continued use after posting means the visitor accepts the revision.


Access May Be Revoked

Access to all or part of the service may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time, with or without notice, for any reason.


Nebraska Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska. Any dispute arising from them must be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Nebraska.


Severability

If a court finds any provision unenforceable, that provision will be limited only as necessary, and the remaining terms will continue in effect.
