NO FCRA USE. Madison County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a local, Alabama, or federal government body. This site and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is a records-routing resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent from every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, conducts official checks, or files documents for a visitor.
Its material points toward the Madison County Sheriff's Office, criminal court clerks, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency repository, the Alabama Sex Offender Registry, and outside research tools. Official access remains subject to Alabama law, including the Alabama Open Records Act, Ala. Code § 36-12-40, and the criminal-justice information rules in Ala. Code § 41-9-590 et seq.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is permitted only if you agree not to:
- Interfere with site speed, availability, or another person's access
- Run a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool against these pages
- Enter systems or data without authorization
- Use site content in an employment, housing, credit, or insurance decision
- Stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person
- Violate any applicable federal, Alabama, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information reached here may be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Alabama's Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act places special limits on misuse of Alabama Sex Offender Registry information, and violations may carry criminal penalties. Registry data serves lawful community awareness. It is not permission for vigilantism, blacklisting, or illegal discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Madison County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners are not presented as tools for evaluating applicants, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You agree not to use this site or a linked tool to:
- Perform any other activity regulated by the FCRA
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Set an insurance premium or judge creditworthiness
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Make a hiring or termination decision
A check required for a regulated purpose must come from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider, subject to the law governing that purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
The site's general account of Madison County record systems is not legal advice. It cannot determine how a warrant, conviction, charge, or Alabama expungement rule affects a particular case. A licensed Alabama attorney must provide that advice.
6. No Warranties
All material and services are supplied "as is." No promise is made that:
- An outside search result will be complete or correct
- Every page will remain free of defects or security issues
- The site will operate without interruption
- Information will always be current, accurate, or complete
Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged after information is published. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. No content here is an official statement from a sheriff, court, ALEA, or another government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to government offices, courts, legal resources, and independent search providers. A destination is outside our control. We accept no responsibility for its availability, content, privacy practice, fee, or service. Review the destination's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Madison County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. No one may copy, adapt, distribute, or build upon that material without prior written permission.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for harm arising from use of this site, including reliance on information found here or through an external service.

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
Alabama law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with the site or these conditions must be brought in a court located in Alabama.
12. Changes to These Terms
These conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
