California Busted Mugshots is privately operated and is not affiliated with any government office, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offer FCRA-covered services. This is a public-record reference service, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
What This Service Is
The site explains how to find California arrest records and booking-photo resources through county, court, state, federal, and other official sources. It directs readers to county sites and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation locator.
California Busted Mugshots keeps no official roster, custody file, or court record. It cannot confirm that a person is in custody, release anyone, or file a request or court document on a visitor’s behalf.
Rules for Site Use
Use the site lawfully and respect other people’s safety and privacy. By continuing, you agree that you will not:
- Break a law or encourage another person to do so;
- Stalk, threaten, harass, or dox anyone;
- Use site information for a decision covered by the FCRA;
- Try to enter systems or accounts without permission;
- Run bots or scrapers against the pages or search tools;
- Disrupt access for other visitors.
Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
California Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and advertising partners do not make those services available through this site. You agree not to use information here for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:
- Hiring, firing, or another employment decision;
- Tenant or housing screening;
- Creditworthiness or insurance decisions;
- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility;
- Any other use governed by the FCRA.
Links to Outside Sources
Links may lead to county rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, courts, federal locators, county subdomains, legal resources, and third-party search tools. A link is not an endorsement. California Busted Mugshots does not control the outside service’s content, data handling, price, or availability. Review that provider’s terms before using it.
No Warranties
All pages and tools are provided “as is” and “as available,” without a warranty to the fullest extent allowed by law. No guarantee is made about:
- Accuracy, completeness, or freshness;
- Continuous access or uptime;
- Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws;
- The depth or accuracy of partner search results.
Custody records and agency pages change often. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a California sheriff, jail, court, or government department.
Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, California Busted Mugshots is not liable for direct or indirect loss or damage arising from access to or use of the site, an outside link, a search result, or an inability to use a service.
Indemnification
You agree to protect and hold harmless California Busted Mugshots and its operators from claims, costs, and reasonable legal fees that arise from your use of the pages or a breach of these terms.
Intellectual Property
Unless a source is credited otherwise, the site’s text, graphics, logo, and code belong to California Busted Mugshots or its content partners. Do not copy, distribute, or change those materials without written permission.
Changes to These Terms
Terms may be revised at any time. An update takes effect when the new wording is posted here. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Access May Be Restricted
Access to the pages or their tools may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time and without advance notice.
California Governing Law
These terms are governed by California law. Any dispute must be filed in a court located within California, subject to applicable law.
Severability
If a court finds one term invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected wording should be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
