Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of Kings County Busted Mugshots. By browsing or using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not access or use the site, its links, or any partner-powered search feature.

Kings County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and unaffiliated with any government agency, sheriff, jail, corrections department, NYPD unit, NYC DOC facility, or court. Neither this site nor its advertising or search partners offers services for credit, employment, insurance, housing, tenant screening, or another purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency, and it only helps readers locate official Kings County and New York record resources.


The Site's Limited Purpose

This is a private reference service, not an official records office. It does not hold NYPD arrest files, NYC DOC custody files, court records, jail rosters, or booking photographs. It cannot confirm custody, arrange release, post bail, file a request, or act for an agency or court.

The site may point to official New York City, New York State, federal, and court resources, as well as independent search tools. A link is informational only. The office that created a record decides whether it exists, is public, has been sealed, and can be disclosed.


Acceptable Use

You may use the site only lawfully and in a way that respects the safety, privacy, and rights of others. You agree not to use it for the following conduct.

  • Violating a law, regulation, court order, or another person's legal rights
  • Stalking, harassing, threatening, impersonating, or harming another person
  • Making a decision about a person for employment, housing, lending, insurance, or a similar screening purpose
  • Attempting unauthorized access to the site, its providers, or another user's information
  • Using bots, scrapers, crawlers, or similar automated tools without written permission
  • Interfering with the site's operation, security, or another visitor's access

Fair Credit Reporting Act Limits

Kings County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not prepare consumer reports, background checks, or credit reports, and neither the site nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use information from the site or a linked tool for any FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection, housing eligibility, or lease decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, insurance eligibility, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, benefits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act

Outside Services and Links

The site may link to NYPD, NYC DOC, court, corrections, federal, legal-aid, government, and third-party search services. Those providers operate independently. We do not control or endorse their content, privacy practices, results, prices, availability, or terms, and you should review their policies before using them.


No Warranties

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranty that the site or a linked service will provide any particular result.

  • Accuracy, completeness, currency, or availability of information
  • Continuous, timely, or uninterrupted access
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, vulnerabilities, or harmful components
  • Completeness or suitability of a partner's search results

Custody status, agency contacts, public access, and court matters can change quickly. Nothing on the site is an official statement by NYPD, NYC DOC, a sheriff, a jail, a court, or another government office.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Kings County Busted Mugshots and its owners, operators, providers, and partners are not liable for damages arising from or related to your access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an outside service.


Your Responsibility to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kings County Busted Mugshots and its owners, operators, providers, and partners from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the site or violation of these Terms and Conditions.


Site Content and Ownership

The site's text, graphics, logos, layout, and code are owned by Kings County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may not copy, distribute, modify, publish, or create derivative works from them without prior written permission, except as law permits.


Changes to These Terms

We may change these Terms and Conditions at any time. Updated terms take effect when posted on this page. Your continued use after posting means that you accept the updated terms.


Access May Be Restricted

We may suspend, restrict, or end access to the site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason permitted by law.


New York Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court located within New York, subject to applicable jurisdiction and venue rules.


Severability

If a court finds any provision of these Terms and Conditions invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The invalid provision will be enforced or adjusted only to the minimum extent needed to make it lawful.
