Terms & Conditions

Nature of the Service

This private reference does not store official arrest, court, jail, or corrections records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, file a request, or act for a visitor before an agency.

Its pages point to Manatee County and Florida government sources and may also connect visitors to outside research tools. Each destination controls its own records, access, prices, and terms.

Acceptable Use Rules

Visitors agree to use the site lawfully and without harming other people or the service. In particular, a visitor must not:

• Break any applicable law through use of the site
• Stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate another person
• Use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited eligibility decision
• Try to enter accounts, servers, or data without authorization
• Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
• Disrupt the site or interfere with another visitor's access

No Consumer Reports

Manatee County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. Information may not be used for:

• Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions
• Rental, housing, or tenant screening
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
• Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
• Any other decision regulated by the FCRA

Outside Websites

Links may lead to jail inquiries, booking sources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, news outlets, or outside search providers. A link does not endorse the destination. This site is not responsible for an outside service's content, availability, security, data handling, or terms, which visitors should review directly.

Service Provided As Is

The site and its contents are provided "as is" and "as available." No promise is made that:

• Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
• The site will be available without interruption
• Every bug, error, or security weakness will be absent
• A partner search will find every relevant record

Custody and public-record data can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by MCSO, a city police department, the Clerk, FDC, or another government office.

Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and its contributors are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or an outside link.

Your Duty to Indemnify

A visitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by that visitor's use, misuse, or violation of these terms.

Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise identified, the site's original text, graphics, logo, arrangement, and code belong to Manatee County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, republished, altered, or distributed without written permission, except where law allows.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. New wording becomes effective when posted, and continued use after posting means acceptance of the revised terms.

Suspension of Access

Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time, for any lawful reason, and without advance notice.

Florida Law Applies

Florida law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Florida.

If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable where law permits.
