Terms of Use

These conditions govern each visit to Tuscola County Criminal History, including reading its material or choosing to use a search tool. Continued use means you accept all terms below. If you disagree with them, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The material points readers to public criminal-record resources in Tuscola County and Michigan. This is not a private-investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

Tuscola County Criminal History is a private reference site independent of every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or files papers for a visitor.

The site identifies the official custodians, including the Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office, 71B District Court, 54th Circuit Court, Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, and Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect visitors with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use the service in violation of federal, Michigan, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass another person with information found here
  • Use the content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into a system or account
  • Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor’s access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool must not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Michigan law and MCL 28.728c govern publication and use of Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry data. Registry information serves public safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not prepare consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. Our advertising partners are likewise not presented as services for an FCRA-regulated decision. You agree that neither site content nor a linked tool will be used to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a housing application
  • Set insurance terms or assess credit
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A legally required official check must be obtained through an authorized Michigan State Police fingerprint channel or another provider that is compliant for the intended use.

5. No Legal Advice

The information is not legal advice. General descriptions of Tuscola County records cannot determine how a Michigan charge, warrant, conviction, or set-aside law affects a particular matter. Consult a licensed Michigan attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are provided “as is.” No promise is made that:

  • An outside search result will be complete or correctly matched
  • Every page is free from an error, defect, or security weakness
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • All information is complete, accurate, and current

Records can change after charges, dismissals, corrections, and Michigan set-aside processing. Gaps and delays are possible. Treat no statement here as an official response from a court, sheriff, or state agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to government offices, court systems, legal resources, and independent services beyond our control. We are not responsible for an outside site’s prices, data practices, availability, or content. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Tuscola County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, modified, distributed, or used to create derivative work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of this site, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Michigan law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Michigan.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
