This privately owned site is not affiliated with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a sheriff, a jail, a corrections department, or another government body. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising or search partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other FCRA-regulated services.
Nature of the Service
The site is a reference to official Philadelphia custody, court, police, sheriff, state, and federal resources. It stores no official roster or case file, cannot confirm a current status, cannot release a person, and cannot file a legal document. Third-party research tools may be available, but their services remain separate from this site.
Permitted Use
Use the site lawfully and respectfully. You agree not to:
- violate a law or another person's rights;
- stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person;
- use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited screening decision;
- attempt unauthorized access to systems or accounts;
- run bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools without permission;
- interfere with access, security, or the experience of other visitors.
FCRA Restriction
The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not supply consumer reports, background reports, or screening services, and neither the site nor a partner tool may be used for an FCRA-covered purpose. Prohibited uses include decisions about hiring or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, and any other use regulated by the FCRA.
Outside Links
Links may lead to government locators, court portals, correctional resources, legal forms, news organizations, or independent search services. A link does not mean that this site endorses the destination. The destination controls its content, availability, terms, privacy practices, and data handling.
No Warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” No promise is made that information is complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suited to a particular purpose. Custody status and public records can change quickly, and a linked provider's result may be incomplete or unavailable. Nothing here is an official statement from a government agency.
Liability Limit
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the owners and operators are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site, a linked page, or an outside tool.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, and its providers from claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or breach of these terms.
Intellectual Property
The site's text, design, graphics, logo, and code belong to Philadelphia County Busted Mugshots or its licensors. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or reused without written permission except where law permits.
Changes and Access
These terms may be changed at any time, with an updated version taking effect when posted. Access to the site may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time and for any reason, without notice.
Pennsylvania Law and Severability
Pennsylvania law governs these terms, and disputes must be brought in courts within Pennsylvania when permitted. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be adjusted only as needed and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
