This privately owned service is not affiliated with a government body, Sheriff, jail, Corrections department, or court. It and its advertising partners do not provide FCRA-covered services. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.
Nature of the service
This is a private directory and reference service. It does not store official jail or court records, confirm custody, release anyone, or file documents. It directs visitors toward Benton County, Washington, and federal resources and may connect visitors to third-party research tools.
Acceptable use
Visitors must use the service lawfully and responsibly. They may not use information to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone; seek unauthorized access; run bots or scrapers; disrupt access for other visitors; or violate another person's rights. The FCRA-related restrictions in these terms and the legal notice also apply.
FCRA restrictions
Neither this service nor its advertising partners supply consumer reports, background checks, credit reports, or screening services. Visitors agree not to use information from this service or a linked tool for hiring or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
Outside links
Links can lead to jail rosters, booking and records-request portals, Sheriff and Corrections pages, courts, legal resources, federal locators, and outside search services. Those operators control their own content, data handling, terms, and uptime. A link is not an endorsement.
No warranties
The service is provided as is and as available. No warranty is made that a detail is accurate, complete, current, available without interruption, secure, error-free, or reflected in a partner result. Custody status and public-record details can change rapidly, and nothing here is an official agency statement.
Limits on liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the service and its operators are not liable for damages arising from use of, inability to use, reliance on, or access to the service or an outside resource.
Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold harmless the service and its operators from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from that visitor's use of the service or breach of these terms.
Intellectual property
The site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Benton County Busted Mugshots or its content partners unless another owner is identified. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission.
Term updates and access
These terms may be changed at any time, with an updated version effective when posted. Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without notice, where permitted by law.
Washington law and severability
These terms are governed by Washington law, and any dispute must be brought in a court within Washington where permitted. If any term is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect and the affected term will be adjusted only as needed.
