NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no affiliation with a local, Virginia, or federal government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify James City County and Virginia criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently from every public agency. It does not store official criminal records, obtain records for visitors, perform an official check, or file documents.
Its material directs readers to James City County Police, Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail, the Williamsburg/James City County courts, Virginia State Police CARE/CCRE, and the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on the following limits. You will not:
- Stalk, threaten, or harass another person with information found here
- Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate a federal, Virginia, or local law
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system
- Run automated bots or scrapers against the pages
- Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No site content or linked result may be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. The Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry exists for public safety under Virginia Code §9.1-900 et seq. Its publication does not permit vigilantism, threats, or other unlawful conduct against a listed person or household.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
James City County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It creates no consumer report, credit report, or official background check. Its advertising partners are not offered as services for FCRA-regulated decisions. You agree not to use site or linked-tool data to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a housing applicant
- Set credit or insurance terms
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A regulated check must come through a lawful official or FCRA-compliant channel, not this resource or its search widget.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Virginia attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, expungement, or sealing rule applies to a particular matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- A page is complete, accurate, or current
- An outside search result is correct or thorough
- The service will remain available without interruption
- The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expungements can change a record. Delays and omissions are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement of a court, police agency, sheriff, jail, or Virginia office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to public offices, courts, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. Those destinations operate independently. We are not responsible for their material, availability, prices, or data practices. Review each destination's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to James City County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of the site or reliance on information from it or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Virginia law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, Virginia Code §59.1-196 et seq. Virginia FOIA, §2.2-3700 et seq., controls access to qualifying public-body records, and §19.2-389 limits CCRE criminal-history dissemination. Neither statute makes this private resource an official custodian. Any dispute connected with site use must be filed in a court located in Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
Revised terms may be posted at any time and become effective when they appear on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
