Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Carroll County Criminal History. Reading content, opening a page, or using a search feature indicates agreement. Anyone who does not accept the terms should stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated resource has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners are not offered for employment, tenant, credit, insurance, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The purpose is to identify Carroll County and Tennessee public-record channels. This is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation service.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no link to a public office. It does not store official files, conduct government checks, retrieve records, or submit documents.

Its content routes readers to Carroll County courts and law enforcement, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, and outside tools that may assist independent research. Public access remains subject to the Tennessee Public Records Act, chiefly TCA Title 10, Chapter 7, Part 5, and TBI dissemination is governed by TCA §38-6-118.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the site is conditioned on the following limits:

  • Do not violate federal, Tennessee, or local law
  • Do not stalk, intimidate, harass, or threaten another person
  • Do not use the content for an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to the service or its systems
  • Do not deploy automated scraping or collection tools
  • Do not disrupt performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Harassment, stalking, threats, intimidation, and unlawful discrimination based on information found here or through a linked service are forbidden. Tennessee registry information is provided for community safety, and misuse against a registrant may lead to criminal or civil consequences. Vigilante action is never permitted.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Neither the site nor an advertising partner is presented as a service for any of these decisions:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

A legally permissible check for a regulated purpose must come from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation or a provider that complies with the FCRA and other applicable law.

5. No Legal Advice

Content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Tennessee attorney can assess how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expunction rule affects a particular matter.

6. No Warranties

The service and all content are supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Charges, dispositions, custody status, and expunction records can change. Gaps or delays may occur, and no content here is an official statement by a Carroll County or Tennessee agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government portals, legal resources, or outside services that we do not control. Their availability, content, prices, and data practices are their responsibility. Review their terms before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, graphics, and logos belong to Carroll County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. Copying, adapting, or distributing them requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from use of the site, its content, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims caused by your use of the service or breach of these terms, including related legal costs where allowed.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. A dispute connected with use of the site must be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms may be posted here and become effective upon publication.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without prior notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed.
