Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of the website. Using any part of it means accepting the full terms below. A visitor who does not agree should stop using the service.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Tennessee, or federal government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Wilson County record references are provided for general public research. This is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently from all government offices. It does not keep official criminal records, conduct an official check, obtain files for a visitor, or file documents with an agency.

Content routes readers to original sources such as the Wilson County Sheriff, Circuit Court Clerk, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Tennessee government access is governed by the Tennessee Public Records Act, principally T.C.A. §§ 10-7-501 through 10-7-516, while T.C.A. § 38-6-120 authorizes TBI's public criminal-history channel. Neither law turns this private website into a government records custodian. Separate third-party search tools may also appear.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Every visitor agrees not to:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct may also violate the law. Tennessee Sex Offender Registry information is published for public safety, and the TBI warns that retribution, additional punishment, harassment, stalking, or threats against a registrant or family member may violate civil or criminal law. Vigilante conduct is prohibited.

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 checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners are not presented as providers for regulated screening. Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

Any legally required check must be obtained through the proper official or FCRA-compliant channel.

5. No Legal Advice

General explanations of Wilson County records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Tennessee attorney can assess how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to a specific matter.

6. No Warranties

All content is supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Charges can be filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged, so gaps and timing differences are unavoidable. No content here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, TBI, or other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government offices, court portals, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. We do not control a destination's content, data practices, fees, or availability. Its own terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.

8. Intellectual Property

Wilson County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, alter, or create derivative work from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, proceedings, and demands caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms take effect when they are posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, with or without notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected provision will be limited only as much as necessary.

15. Questions
