North Carolina Busted Mugshots is a privately operated reference service. It is not affiliated with a government agency, sheriff, jail, or corrections department, and neither the site nor its advertising partners provide services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. The site points to arrest-record and booking-photo sources across North Carolina.
What the Service Provides
This private reference site stores no official arrest or custody records. It cannot confirm a person's status, release anyone, or submit an official document for a visitor.
Its pages map county-level sources and state records across North Carolina, then route readers to the relevant county site or public agency. The North Carolina Public Records Act, including N.C. Gen. Stat. ยง132-1, governs agency records; these terms do not change that law or make this site an official custodian.
Rules for Use
Visitors may use the service only in lawful and respectful ways. These limits apply to the pages and any linked tools:
- Do not use the service to break a law.
- Do not use records or links to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm a person.
- Do not use information for a decision covered by the FCRA.
- Do not try to access systems or data without permission.
- Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated collection against the site.
- Do not disrupt service for other visitors.
No FCRA Consumer Reports
Neither the site nor its ad partners are consumer reporting agencies under the FCRA. They do not provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. You agree not to use anything from this service for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:
- Employment or hiring decisions.
- Housing or tenant screening.
- Credit decisions or insurance rates.
- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
- Any other use regulated by the FCRA.
Links to Other Providers
Links may lead to county rosters, sheriff and corrections sites, court portals, county subdomains, federal locators, or outside search services. A link is provided as a route to a source, not an endorsement. The outside provider controls its content, data practices, terms, and availability.
Service Offered As Is
All material and tools are provided "as is." No warranty is made about:
- Accuracy, completeness, or freshness of a record or link.
- Uninterrupted access to the pages or a linked service.
- Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses.
- Coverage or completeness of partner search results.
Custody status and public records can change without notice. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a North Carolina sheriff's office or government agency.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, North Carolina Busted Mugshots and its operators are not liable for loss or damage that results from using, being unable to use, or relying on the site or an outside service.
