NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Pennsylvania, or federal government agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service designed for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) decisions. It is a reference to criminal-record resources in Washington County, Pennsylvania, not a private investigation service or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not hold official criminal records, submit filings, retrieve documents, or conduct an official background check.
The material routes readers to Washington County police agencies and courts, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, the PA DOC Inmate/Parolee Locator, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Website. Public access depends on the actual custodian and governing law, including Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, and the Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91. Links to outside research tools may also appear.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of access, you must not:
- Use automated bots, scraping software, or similar tools against the pages
- Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information obtained here
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
- Make a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision from site content
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
- Violate federal, Pennsylvania, or local law while using the website
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use this site's information or a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. Pennsylvania registry information is intended for public-safety awareness. Misuse against a registrant or family member can lead to criminal prosecution or civil liability under the protections and warnings tied to 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9799.28, 9799.32, 9799.63, and 9799.67. Vigilante acts, employment blacklisting, and housing discrimination are prohibited.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners do not offer site services intended to assess applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You may not use this site or a linked tool to:
- Set insurance premiums or assess creditworthiness
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Evaluate a prospective renter or housing applicant
- Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA
A check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant source. Pennsylvania's official criminal-history repository is maintained by the Pennsylvania State Police, but users remain responsible for selecting the lawful product and process required for their purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
The website provides general information, not legal advice. Its explanation of Washington County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, expungement, limited-access rule, or Clean Slate provision applies to a particular matter. Seek advice from a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney.
6. No Warranties
All website content is supplied "as is." We make no guarantee that:
- A partner's search results will be complete or correct
- Information will always be accurate, current, or complete
- The website will operate without interruption
- The pages contain no bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
Criminal-record status can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when access is limited, sealed, or expunged. Delays and gaps are possible. No site content is an official statement from the Washington County courts, a police agency, the Sheriff, PSP, or another government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to Washington County agencies, Pennsylvania court portals, state offices, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. We do not control a destination's content, availability, fees, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review that service's own terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Washington County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, code, graphics, and logos. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your site use or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend, restrict, or end site access at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent needed for enforcement.
