Dougherty County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, police department, court, or corrections agency. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provides FCRA-covered services. The pages help people find public-record resources in Dougherty County and Georgia; they are not a private-investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.
What the Service Is
This is a private reference service with no government connection. It stores no official jail roster, booking database, court docket, or corrections file, and it cannot confirm custody, release anyone, file a court document, or alter a public record.
The pages point toward county jail and police resources, court systems, state and federal locators, archival information, and selected third-party research tools. Outside services have their own terms and data practices.
Acceptable Use Rules
Use the pages lawfully and in a way that respects other people and the systems linked from them. A visitor must not:
- break any law while accessing or using the service;
- stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or target another person;
- use page content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other prohibited decisions;
- attempt unauthorized access, bypass a security control, or impersonate an office;
- run bots, scrapers, crawlers, or bulk extraction tools without written permission; or
- interfere with the availability of the pages or another visitor's use.
FCRA Restriction
This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks, and neither the service nor its advertising partners offers screening services. Information from these pages or a linked tool must not be used for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:
- hiring, promotion, discipline, or firing decisions;
- tenant or housing screening;
- creditworthiness decisions or insurance premiums;
- licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
- any other use governed by the FCRA.
Links Outside the Service
The pages may link to the Dougherty County jail roster, the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office, Albany Police, the Dougherty clerk portal, the Georgia Department of Corrections, court portals, legal resources, federal locators, news outlets, archives, and outside search tools. Those destinations are not controlled or endorsed merely because a link appears. Their content, data handling, pricing, security, and availability are their responsibility, so review their terms before using them.
Information Provided As Is
The service and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about:
- accuracy, completeness, or current status;
- continuous or uninterrupted access;
- freedom from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses; or
- the depth or reliability of results from a partner tool.
Custody status and public records can change without notice. Nothing on these pages is an official statement from a sheriff, police department, jail, court, corrections department, or other government agency.
Limit on Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operator and its partners are not liable for damages, losses, claims, or costs arising from access to or use of the service, reliance on a page, an outside link, a partner result, an interruption, or an inability to access a record.
User Indemnification
A user agrees to defend and hold harmless the operator, its partners, and their officers or service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, expenses, and reasonable legal fees arising from that user's use of the pages, violation of these terms, misuse of linked resources, or violation of another person's rights.
Ownership and Permission
Text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belonging to Dougherty County Busted Mugshots or its content partners remain protected by applicable intellectual-property law. No one may copy, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or create a competing bulk use from those materials without written permission, except for lawful personal reference and any rights that cannot be waived.
Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted. Continued use after a revision means the visitor accepts the updated wording.
Access May Be Revoked
Access may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. That includes suspected abuse, automated extraction, security risk, unlawful use, or conduct that disrupts the service.
Georgia Governs
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to conflict-of-law rules. A dispute must be brought in a court located in Georgia unless applicable law requires a different forum.
Severability
If a court finds a provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected wording will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable while preserving its intended purpose.
