NO FCRA USE. This privately operated site has no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for employment, credit, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to identify Franklin County and Pennsylvania record resources. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of every government office. It does not store official criminal records, conduct official checks, retrieve documents, or file papers for a user.
It identifies records held by Franklin County police, the jail, the criminal courts, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and Pennsylvania Megan's Law Public Website. Some pages also provide access to outside search 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
No person may use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Pennsylvania places specific limits on misuse of Pennsylvania Megan's Law Public Website data under 42 Pa.C.S. §9799.28. Registry information supports lawful safety awareness and never authorizes vigilantism.
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 from an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or official process, not this site.
5. No Legal Advice
General information about Franklin County records is not legal advice. Only a licensed Pennsylvania attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, limited-access rule, or expungement law applies to a specific matter.
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
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and office procedures change. Gaps may result. No page should be treated as an official statement from a court, police agency, Sheriff, jail, or Pennsylvania office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government offices, court portals, legal resources, or outside services. Those destinations control their own content, availability, prices, and privacy practices. Their terms apply once a visitor leaves this site.
8. Intellectual Property
Franklin County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, alter, distribute, or create derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use, linked services, or reliance on information found through either.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, actions, legal fees, and related costs caused by that user's conduct or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms. Any dispute concerning use of the site must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law and 18 Pa.C.S. §9121 govern public-agency records and state dissemination respectively; they do not make this private site a records custodian.
12. Changes to These Terms
Revised terms become effective when the new version is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected provision is adjusted only as far as needed for enforcement.
