NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its role is to identify official criminal-record resources in Carbon County and Pennsylvania. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site that operates independently of government. It does not maintain official criminal records, retrieve records on a visitor's behalf, perform official background checks, or file documents.
Its content directs readers to Carbon County courts, local police, county record custodians, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. It may also connect readers with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the pages
- Violate a federal, Pennsylvania, or local law through use of the website
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or data
- Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
- Interfere with performance or prevent others from accessing the website
- Rely on the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is prohibited and may be criminal. Pennsylvania's Megan's Law registry warning states that threatening, intimidating, harassing, or otherwise misusing information against a listed person or family can lead to criminal prosecution or civil liability. Registry data serves public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background reports, or other consumer reports. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer linked services for applicant screening, rental decisions, insurance pricing, or credit evaluation through this website. You may not use website or linked-tool data to:
- Set insurance premiums or evaluate creditworthiness
- Make an employment decision
- Assess a rental or housing application
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
Where an authorized purpose requires a background check, use the Pennsylvania State Police or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA and all applicable law.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Carbon County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, expungement, or Clean Slate rule applies to an individual matter. Consult an attorney licensed in Pennsylvania for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All website content is provided "as is." We make no warranty that:
- Outside search results will be complete or correct
- Content will always be accurate, current, or complete
- Pages contain no error, defect, or security vulnerability
- Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
Criminal records can change as charges are filed, resolved, sealed, limited under Clean Slate, or expunged. Information may therefore contain delays or gaps. Only the originating Carbon County or Pennsylvania office can provide an official verification. The Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91, controls state criminal-history dissemination; the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law does not turn exempt investigative files into public records.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to county offices, Pennsylvania agencies, court portals, legal-aid organizations, and outside search providers. Those destinations are not under our control. We are not responsible for their content, fees, availability, or data practices. Review each provider's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Carbon County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, changed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from website use, including reliance on content obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms. A legal dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court located within Pennsylvania.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the extent needed for enforceability.
