Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to Contra Costa County Busted Mugshots and its records-reference content. By browsing or using the site, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept every term, do not access or use the website.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered screening services.


The Site’s Limited Role

Contra Costa County Busted Mugshots is an independent reference guide. It stores no official booking, jail, police, court, or corrections records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, file a request, or submit a court document for a visitor.

The site points readers toward official Contra Costa County and California record sources and may connect visitors with outside research tools. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Acceptable Use Requirements

You may use the website only in a lawful way that respects other people and the site’s operation. You agree that you will not:

  • Violate any applicable federal, California, or local law.
  • Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
  • Attempt to enter an account, server, or system without authorization.
  • Deploy automated scrapers, bots, or harvesting tools against the site.
  • Interfere with access, security, performance, or another visitor’s use.

No Consumer Reports or FCRA Use

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks, and neither it nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use information from this site or a linked tool for:

  • An employment, hiring, promotion, discipline, or firing decision.
  • Tenant selection, lease approval, or other housing screening.
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing and eligibility.
  • A license, permit, benefit, or government-program eligibility decision.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Websites and Services Operated by Others

Links may lead to Sheriff custody tools, inmate reports, police records pages, court portals, corrections systems, legal resources, federal locators, news sites, and outside search services. A link is provided for convenience and does not endorse the operator. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, prices, results, security, or availability. Review that operator’s terms before using its service.


Service Provided Without Warranties

The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no warranty that:

  • Information will be accurate, complete, or current.
  • The site will operate continuously or without interruption.
  • Every error, bug, or security weakness will be absent or corrected.
  • A partner search will be complete or return a particular result.

Custody status, public interfaces, and record availability can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, another agency, or a court.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site, its owners, and its contributors will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from access to, use of, or reliance on the site or an outside service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, and its contributors from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the website or your violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless a source is identified otherwise, the website’s original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Contra Costa County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or republish those materials without prior written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page, and continued use after posting means that you accept the new terms.


Suspension or Loss of Access

We may limit, suspend, or end access to all or part of the website at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


California Law Governs

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in California.


If One Provision Cannot Be Enforced

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary. The remaining terms will continue in effect.
