Terms of Use

Nature of This Site

This is a private reference publication with no government authority. It does not store official arrest or court records, confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or file a document with an agency.

Its pages identify official Wayne County Sheriff's Office, detention, NC VINELink, court, and North Carolina Department of Adult Correction sources. Some search features connect visitors with independent research providers.

Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site in a lawful way that respects other people and the service.

• Do not violate any local, state, or federal law.
• Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
• Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
• Do not try to reach accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
• Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
• Do not impair the site's operation or another visitor's access.

No Consumer Reports

Wayne County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It provides no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither do its advertising partners. You agree not to use site or linked-tool information for an FCRA-covered purpose.

• Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
• Tenant selection, leases, or housing decisions
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
• Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government benefit
• Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Independent Websites and Tools

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, custody locators, court portals, legal-help resources, or commercial search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside service's content, privacy practices, prices, accuracy, security, or availability. Review that service's terms before using it.

Service Without Warranties

The site and its content are supplied "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, no warranty is made about:

• Accuracy, completeness, or currentness
• Continuous or uninterrupted access
• The absence of errors, defects, or security weaknesses
• The scope or quality of an outside provider's results

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office or another government agency.

Limits on Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, Wayne County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site, its owners, operators, and partners harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.

Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise stated, the site's original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Wayne County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, modify, republish, or distribute them without written permission.

Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page, and continued use after posting means you accept the revision.

Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

North Carolina Law

North Carolina law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in North Carolina.

If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in force. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
