Terms & Conditions

Nature of the Service

This private site points readers toward Santa Barbara County and California custody, booking, court, and corrections resources. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, arrange release, accept bond, or submit a record request for a visitor. Some pages connect to independent research tools.

Acceptable Use Rules

By using the site, you agree to act lawfully and respect other people and the service. You must not:

• Break any applicable law.
• Use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm someone.
• Base hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another FCRA-covered decision on site content.
• Attempt access to systems or data without authorization.
• Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
• Disrupt access for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and does not supply background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising partners do not provide screening services through this site. You agree not to use any material for:

• Hiring, firing, or another employment decision.
• Tenant selection or a housing decision.
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing.
• Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
• Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

External Sources and Links

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking and police sources, sheriff or corrections pages, courts, legal-aid resources, federal locators, news publishers, and outside search providers. Their owners control content, data handling, terms, and uptime. A link does not mean endorsement, and visitors should review the destination's rules.

Service Provided As Is

The site and its contents are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no warranty is made that:

• Information is accurate, complete, or current.
• The service will remain uninterrupted.
• Pages are free from every error, defect, or security weakness.
• An outside search provider will return complete results.

Custody and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office or any public agency.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or an outside resource.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold harmless the site, its owners, and its partners from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or your violation of these terms.

Intellectual Property Rights

Original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Santa Barbara County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, altered, or republished without written permission, except where law permits.

Revisions to These Terms

These terms may change at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here, and continued use after posting indicates acceptance.

Suspension of Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any lawful reason, without advance notice. This includes conduct that threatens the service, its users, or third parties.

California Law Applies

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

Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms remain in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
