Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to Suffolk County Busted Mugshots and its records-reference content. By using any page or tool, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept every term, do not use the site. These rules apply alongside the Privacy Notice and Legal Disclaimer.

This privately owned site is not connected with any government, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides FCRA-covered credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. We are not investigators or a consumer reporting agency.


Purpose of the Website

This is a private reference guide to Suffolk County and Massachusetts records resources. It stores no official arrest, court, jail, or correctional records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or file a public-records or court document for a visitor.

The site points readers toward official police logs, SCSD records contacts, Massachusetts court sources, state and federal custody locators, and optional third-party research tools. A link or description does not turn an outside result into an official statement.


Acceptable Use Rules

Use must remain lawful and must not harm another person, the site, or its services. You agree not to:

  • Break a law while accessing or using the site
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, or target anyone with site information
  • Use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
  • Disrupt availability or interfere with another visitor's use

No Consumer Reports or Screening

Suffolk County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It offers no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service. Advertising and search partners do not provide such services through this site. You agree not to use site content for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision
  • Tenant selection or any housing decision
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Outside Services and Links

Links may lead to police logs, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, legal resources, news outlets, and third-party search services. A link is provided for convenience and is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site's content, privacy practices, terms, data quality, availability, or price. Review its own policies before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The site and all content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, no express or implied warranty is made about:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currentness
  • Continuous or uninterrupted operation
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
  • The scope or quality of a partner's search results

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from SCSD, a police department, court, or other Massachusetts agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and contributors are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, and contributors from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use, misuse, or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Material

Unless another owner is credited, the site's text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Suffolk County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or commercially exploit that material without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page. Continued use after publication means acceptance of the revised terms.


Access May Be Withdrawn

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Massachusetts Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Massachusetts.


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
