Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to Blount County Recent Arrests. By browsing or using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, skip the site and its search features. These terms cover this private reference service, not the independent government or third-party services linked from it.

Blount County Recent Arrests is privately owned and is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides FCRA-covered services, and neither is a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Information may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.


The Site’s Limited Role

This is a private guide to public-resource paths for Blount County and Alabama. It stores no official jail, court, or corrections record. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or file a document for a visitor.

The guide may point to official resources and third-party research tools. Questions about a Blount County booking, court case, or records request go to the responsible public custodian. The public-writings rights and limits for official records arise under Alabama law, including Ala. Code § 36-12-40, not from these terms.


Permitted Use

Use the site lawfully, and respect the people whose records an outside source may describe.

  • Do not violate a law while using the site or an outside resource.
  • Do not use information to stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person.
  • Do not use site information to make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or similar screening decisions.
  • Do not try to gain unauthorized access to the site, an account, or a connected service.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to collect site material without written permission.
  • Do not interfere with the site’s operation or another visitor’s use.

Fair Credit Reporting Act Limits

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not provide consumer reports, background reports, credit reports, or screening services, and our advertising partners do not provide them through this site. You agree not to use information from this site or an associated tool for any FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision.
  • Tenant or housing screening.
  • Decisions about creditworthiness or insurance premiums.
  • Licensing, permit, or government-program eligibility decisions.
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA.

Links Beyond This Website

The site may link to sheriff rosters, booking feeds, courts, corrections agencies, legal resources, federal locators, and independent search tools. Examples include the Blount County current roster, its 48 Hour Release view, and the Blount County court portal. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control or guarantee another site’s content, privacy handling, availability, terms, or results, so read its own policies before you use it.


Information Provided As Is

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties. We do not promise any of the following.

  • That information is accurate, complete, or current.
  • That access will be uninterrupted or available at every time.
  • That the site is free of errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
  • That an outside partner’s search result is complete or suitable for a particular purpose.

Custody status, charges, court matters, and public records change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, a court, ADOC, or another public agency.
