Rutherford County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government agency, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a consumer-reporting service under the FCRA or a private-investigation service. The site points to public records resources but cannot confirm custody, issue records, or make an official determination.
Nature of the Service
This is a private reference service. It stores no official county roster or court record and cannot release a person, submit paperwork, or confirm whether an individual is currently held. Records routes may include RCSO, city police, courts, TDOC, federal agencies, and third-party search tools, each of which controls its own records.
Acceptable Use
Visitors must use the site lawfully and respectfully. They may not use information or site functions to:
- stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person;
- gain unauthorized access to a computer system or account;
- interfere with the service or prevent others from using it;
- operate automated bots, scrapers, or similar collection tools without written permission;
- make decisions about hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or eligibility; or
- violate any law or another party’s rights.
FCRA-Prohibited Uses
This service is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, or screening services. By using it, a visitor agrees not to use information from it or a linked tool for a purpose covered by the FCRA, including employment action, tenant screening, credit or insurance decisions, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or a similar regulated decision.
Links and Partner Services
The site may link to official custodians, public portals, legal resources, and outside search providers. A link is not an endorsement or a guarantee of the destination’s content, availability, pricing, security, privacy practices, or accuracy. Review the terms of an outside service before submitting information or relying on its result.
Availability and Accuracy
The site and its links are provided as is and as available. No warranty is made that content is complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. Custody and court status can change quickly, so an originating government office remains the source to verify a record.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the site, a linked resource, or an outside service.
Indemnity
A visitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site and its operators from claims, damages, and reasonable legal expenses arising from that visitor’s misuse of the site or violation of these terms.
Site Materials
The site’s text, graphics, logo, and code belong to Rutherford County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and are protected by applicable law. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without prior written permission except where law allows.
Updates and Access
These terms may change at any time by posting an updated version. Continued use after posting accepts the revision. Access may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time, with or without notice, when permitted by law.
Tennessee Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Tennessee, unless applicable law requires another forum.
Severability
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable where possible.
