Terms & Conditions

Nature of this website

This site is an independent guide, not a government service. It does not store official jail, court, or corrections records; confirm custody, authorize a release, or file a document with an agency.

It provides links and explanatory material about Richland County public-resource paths and independent research tools. References to Wisconsin record access are informational and do not replace the applicable law, including Wis. Stat. § 19.35.

Acceptable use

• Use the site in compliance with applicable law.
• Do not use any information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
• Do not use site information to make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, permit, or government-program eligibility decisions.
• Do not seek unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
• Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools without written permission.
• Do not interfere with the site’s operation or another visitor’s use.

Consumer-reporting limitation

Richland County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides consumer reports, credit reports, or screening services. You agree not to use information from the site or linked tools for any purpose covered by the FCRA, including the purposes listed below.

• Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions.
• Tenant or housing screening.
• Creditworthiness assessments or insurance-pricing decisions.
• Licensing, permits, or eligibility for government programs.
• Any other use governed by FCRA requirements.

Links and third-party services

The site may link to official agencies, court services, corrections resources, legal-information sources, and outside search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those sites’ content, availability, data handling, terms, or results, and you should review their policies before using them.

No warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee:

• the accuracy, completeness, or currency of information;
• uninterrupted or error-free operation;
• that the site will be free of bugs or security vulnerabilities; or
• the completeness or suitability of a partner’s search results.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by the Richland County Sheriff’s Office or another government entity.

Limits of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this site or a linked service.
