Terms & Conditions

Use of Forest County Busted Mugshots is subject to these Terms & Conditions. A visitor who does not agree with them should not use the site. These terms explain the limits of this private records-reference service and the conditions for accessing its material.

Forest County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with any government agency, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Neither the site nor its advertising or search partners provides consumer-reporting or screening services, and no information from them may be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


Private Reference Service

This site is a private reference service. It does not maintain official Forest County records, confirm jail status, release a person, or file court or agency documents. Official information remains with the Sheriff, jail, court, Wisconsin Department of Corrections, or another agency that created the record.

The site may point visitors toward public records resources and independent research tools. A link or search box does not make the site the source of the resulting information, and no agency relationship is created by use of the site.

Visitors must use the site lawfully and respectfully. The following conduct is prohibited.

  • Using the site in violation of a law or court order
  • Using information to stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person
  • Using site material for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, tenant screening, or another prohibited FCRA purpose
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems
  • Operating bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools without permission
  • Interfering with the site’s availability or another visitor’s use of it

Consumer Reporting Restriction

Forest County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or any service intended for FCRA-regulated screening. A visitor agrees not to use site material or partner results for any of the prohibited purposes below.

  • Making a hiring, firing, or promotion decision
  • Evaluating a tenant or housing applicant
  • Setting creditworthiness or insurance premiums
  • Making licensing, permit, or government-program eligibility decisions
  • Any other use restricted by the FCRA

Third-Party Destinations

The site links to government portals, jail and court resources, corrections locators, legal information, and independent search services. Those destinations control their own content, availability, terms, and data practices. A link is provided for reference and does not endorse or guarantee another service.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about the following matters.

  • Accuracy, completeness, or current status of information
  • Uninterrupted or error-free availability
  • Freedom from bugs, security flaws, or technical interruptions
  • Completeness or usefulness of a partner’s search results

Custody and public-record information can change without notice. Nothing on this site is an official statement from the Forest County Sheriff, a court, or any other government office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Forest County Busted Mugshots is not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or a linked service.


Indemnification

Intellectual Property

The site’s text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Forest County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, altered, or republished without prior written permission, except where law permits.


Changes to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted, so visitors should review the current version before relying on it.
