NO FCRA USE. Suffolk Criminal History is privately operated, unaffiliated with government, and not a consumer reporting agency. Neither this resource nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent reference resource. It neither stores official criminal files nor retrieves records, conducts an official background check, or files papers for a visitor.
Its content routes readers to Suffolk Police, Western Tidewater Regional Jail, the Suffolk courts, Virginia Department of State Police CARE and CCRE, and the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Some pages also contain outside search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the resource, you agree not to:
- Violate a local, Virginia, or federal law
- Threaten, stalk, harass, or harm another person
- Use any content for an FCRA-regulated decision
- Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
- Deploy automated scraping, bots, or abusive traffic
- Interfere with the site's operation or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked tool must not be used to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. Virginia registry data carries an express misuse rule. Va. Code ยง 9.1-918 makes willful unauthorized use or harassment a Class 1 misdemeanor. Registry access supports public-safety awareness, not confrontation or vigilante conduct.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Suffolk Criminal History does not create consumer reports, background-screening reports, or credit reports. Visitors must not apply the site's data or a partner result to:
- A credit or lending decision
- An employment decision
- Housing or tenant screening
- Insurance eligibility or pricing
- A license, benefit, or other decision regulated by the FCRA
Where a lawful regulated check is required, use an authorized official route or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Descriptions of Suffolk and Virginia records are educational information, not legal counsel. Only a licensed Virginia attorney can advise how a charge, warrant, conviction, expungement, or sealing law applies to a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are offered "as is." No promise is made that:
- A page is complete, accurate, or current
- The service will always remain available
- The site has no bugs, errors, or security weakness
- A partner result is complete or correctly matched
Official records change as cases advance, outcomes post, and restrictions take effect. Always confirm material with the maintaining office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links and tools may lead to government systems, courts, legal resources, advertisers, or search providers that we do not control. Their own terms, privacy rules, costs, accuracy, and availability govern once a visitor leaves this domain.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the site's text, code, logos, and graphics belong to Suffolk Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create derivative works without written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Suffolk Criminal History is not responsible for loss or damage arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or use of an outside service reached through it.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by that visitor's misuse or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute concerning the use of Suffolk Criminal History must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
Revised terms take effect when posted. Continued use after publication signifies acceptance of the updated conditions.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without prior notice, when permitted by law.
14. Severability
If a court finds one term invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected language will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
