Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern browsing and use of Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots. By using the pages, links, or search tools, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not connected with the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office, the Lumpkin County Detention Center, GDC, BOP, ICE, or any other government body. Neither this service nor its advertising partners provides services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. It only helps visitors locate records resources in Lumpkin County and Georgia.


What This Service Is

This is a private reference service. It does not store the official LCSO roster, the Lumpkin County Detention Center's booking files, court records, or GDC, BOP, or ICE custody records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, submit a filing, or act as the records custodian.

It points visitors toward official resources such as the LCSO Inmate Check, the LCSO open-records form, the Lumpkin County Clerk, and separate state or federal locators. Georgia's Open Records Act, including O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 et seq., applies to government custodians and does not make this private service a government office. Outside search tools may also be offered under their own terms.


Rules for Lawful Use

Use the pages and linked resources in a lawful, respectful way. The following conduct is not allowed:

  • Breaking a law or violating another person's legal rights
  • Using information to stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone
  • Trying to enter an account, server, or data set without authorization
  • Running bots, scrapers, or automated requests that burden the service or a linked provider
  • Interfering with availability, security, or another visitor's use
  • Submitting information that is knowingly false, harmful, or unlawful

No Consumer Reporting Uses

Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It does not prepare background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither the service nor its advertising partners provides screening services. Information from these pages or linked tools must not be used for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Housing or tenant screening decisions
  • Creditworthiness decisions or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA

Outside Links and Tools

Links may lead to LCSO and Dahlonega records pages, the Lumpkin County courts, GDC, BOP, ICE, legal resources, news publishers, or third-party search services. A link is provided for reference and does not mean the destination is endorsed. Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots does not control a linked service's content, privacy practices, charges, security, or uptime. Review the destination's own terms before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The pages and tools are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or current status of any information
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, harmful code, or security weaknesses
  • The scope, accuracy, or completeness of a partner's search results

Custody rows, public records, agency links, and third-party pages can change without notice. Nothing here is an official statement from the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office, the Detention Center, a court, GDC, BOP, ICE, or another government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by Georgia law, Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots and the people who operate it are not liable for loss or damage arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use these pages, a search tool, or a linked service. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, and similar losses, even when the possibility was known.


Your Indemnification Duty

You agree to defend and hold harmless Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots, its operators, and its service partners from claims, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that result from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of another person's rights.


Ownership of Site Materials

The site's text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Lumpkin County Busted Mugshots or the content partners that licensed them. Except where a separate license or law allows it, you may not copy, republish, distribute, modify, sell, or create a derivative work from those materials without written permission.


Updates to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting signals acceptance of the revised terms.


Access May Be Revoked

Access to all or part of the service may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. This includes action to protect the service, visitors, linked providers, or official resources.


Georgia Law Applies

Georgia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court located in the State of Georgia, unless applicable law requires another forum.


If a Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts continue in force. The affected language will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.


Questions About Use

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contacts page. Questions about current custody, a booking record, or a court result must go to the originating government office.
