Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Douglas County Criminal History. Continuing to browse means that you accept them. If you disagree with any condition, stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Douglas County, Nebraska, or any government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for any other Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. This is a records-reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site. It stores no official criminal records and cannot retrieve records, perform an official background check, or submit a filing for a visitor.

Its purpose is to identify the offices that hold Douglas County records, including DCSO, Douglas County Corrections, the courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry, while also linking to outside research tools. Official access is governed by the Nebraska Public Records Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, and criminal-history dissemination limits in §29-3523.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only if you agree not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Nebraska, or local law
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Operate scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools
  • Interfere with site speed, access, or another visitor's use

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use this site or a linked tool to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or discriminate against another person. Nebraska's registry disclosure framework in Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-4013 supports community safety, not vigilantism. Threats, vandalism, and other misuse of Nebraska Sex Offender Registry information may lead to criminal consequences.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer, credit, or background reports. Our partners' tools are not offered for applicant screening, rental decisions, insurance rates, or credit judgments. You may not use site or linked data to:

  • Make a hiring, firing, or other employment choice
  • Evaluate a renter or applicant for housing
  • Set an insurance rate or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A legally permitted check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not this website.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. Questions about how a Douglas County charge, conviction, warrant, set-aside, or sealing rule affects a specific matter require a licensed Nebraska attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • Every detail will remain complete, accurate, and current
  • Access will always be available or uninterrupted
  • The pages will contain no bug, error, or security weakness
  • An outside search provider will return a full or correct result

Charges, dispositions, set-asides, sealing orders, and access rules can change a record. Gaps or stale details may remain, and nothing here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to government portals, sheriff pages, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations or accept responsibility for their content, privacy practices, prices, or availability. Review each destination's own terms.

8. Intellectual Property

Douglas County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for harm arising from use of the site, its content, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Nebraska.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
