Massachusetts Busted Mugshots is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It is a public-records reference, not an investigative firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide services for decisions covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Scope of the Service
This private service is not part of a sheriff’s office, jail, police department, court, or corrections agency. It keeps no official arrest or custody file and cannot confirm a person’s status, arrange release, or file a request for someone else.
The pages explain statewide record paths and direct visitors to county, state, court, and federal sources. Some search tools are operated by outside providers and follow their own terms.
Acceptable Use
Visitors agree to use the service lawfully and without harm to others. In particular, users must not:
- Break a law or use information to stalk, threaten, or harass someone.
- Use site material for a decision covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
- Try to enter systems or accounts without permission.
- Run bots or scrapers against the pages or tools.
- Interfere with another visitor’s use or disrupt the service.
No Consumer Reporting Service
The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create consumer reports or provide screening services, and its ad partners do not supply those services through this site. Users agree not to apply the information to any purpose governed by that law, including:
- Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions.
- Housing or tenant decisions.
- Credit or insurance decisions.
- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
- Any other FCRA-covered purpose.
External Services
Links may lead to sheriff and police pages, correctional tools, court portals, county sites, federal locators, or private search providers. A link is not an endorsement. This service does not control another operator’s content, data handling, accuracy, or availability. Read that operator’s terms before submitting information.
Service Provided As Is
The pages, links, and tools are provided “as is” and “as available,” without a warranty of:
- Accuracy, completeness, or current status.
- Uninterrupted access or continuous operation.
- Freedom from errors, defects, or security risks.
- Complete results from a partner search tool.
Custody entries and public records can change. Nothing on this site is an official statement by a sheriff, police department, court, or government agency.
Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site operator is not liable for damages or losses arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the pages, links, or outside tools.
Indemnification
Visitors agree to protect the site operator and its partners from claims, costs, and reasonable legal fees that arise from their use of the service or breach of these terms.
Ownership of Content
Unless a page says otherwise, text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Massachusetts Busted Mugshots or its content partners. Do not copy, distribute, or alter protected material without written permission.
Changes to These Terms
Terms may be revised at any time. A change takes effect when the updated wording is posted here.
Access Limits
Access to some or all of the service may be limited or blocked at any time, with or without notice, when the operator decides it is needed.
Massachusetts Law
These terms are governed by Massachusetts law. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Massachusetts, subject to applicable law.
Severability
If a court finds one part of these terms invalid, the other provisions remain in effect. The invalid part will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
