NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with local, Georgia, or federal government. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to route readers to Madison County and Georgia criminal-record resources; it is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office. We do not store official criminal records and we cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file documents for anyone.
The resource identifies offices that hold Madison County records, including the sheriff and jail, court clerks, the Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. It also links to third-party research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- 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 found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone; such conduct may also be criminal. Georgia law governs use of Georgia Sex Offender Registry information. Registry data supports public-safety awareness, never vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, or abuse of a listed person.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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
A check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come through an authorized Georgia Bureau of Investigation GCIC/GAPS route or an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
General information about Madison County records is not legal advice. A licensed Georgia attorney should address how a charge, conviction, warrant, record-restriction rule, or sealing remedy applies to a particular situation.
6. No Warranties
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee 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
Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, corrected, restricted under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37, or sealed by a court. Gaps are unavoidable, and nothing here should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency. Requests to Georgia public agencies are separately governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-77.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, state agency pages, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Madison County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.
11. Governing Law
Georgia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Georgia.
12. Changes to These Terms
We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.
14. Severability
If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
