Terms & Conditions

The Site's Limited Role

This is a private reference site, not an official records system. It does not store government booking, custody, court, or corrections records, and it cannot verify custody, arrange a release, or file a document with an agency.

The site points readers to sources such as the Cocke County Sheriff, court portals, the TDOC locator, and outside research tools. A linked resource remains responsible for its own information and services.

Responsible Use

• Use the site only in a lawful manner.
• Do not use any information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
• Do not use material from this site to make a hiring, firing, housing, lending, or insurance decision.
• Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its services.
• Do not use automated bots, scrapers, or other extraction tools without written permission.
• Do not interfere with the site's operation or another visitor's access.

Fair Credit Reporting Act Restriction

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This site and its partners do not provide consumer reports, background checks, credit reports, or screening services. By using the site, you agree not to use information from it for any FCRA-covered purpose, including:

• employment, promotion, retention, or termination decisions;
• tenant or housing screening;
• creditworthiness, lending, or insurance-pricing decisions;
• licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government program; or
• any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

External Resources

Links may lead to the Cocke County Sheriff's Office, the county detention page, the Circuit Court Clerk, corrections agencies, legal-help pages, or third-party tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control another site's content, privacy practices, availability, or terms of use.

No Warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no promise about:

• the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any information;
• uninterrupted or error-free availability;
• freedom from defects, vulnerabilities, or harmful code; or
• the completeness or usefulness of a partner's search result.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by the Sheriff's Office or another public agency.

Liability Limit

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this site or a linked service.

Your Responsibility to Protect Us

You agree to indemnify and hold the site, its owners, and its content partners harmless from claims, damages, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or a breach of these terms.

Ownership of Site Materials

The site's text, graphics, logos, design, and code are owned by Cocke County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or reuse them without written permission, except where law permits.

Changes to These Terms

We may change these terms at any time. Updated terms take effect when posted on this page.

Suspending Access

We may limit or end access to the site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason.

Tennessee Law Applies

These terms are governed by Tennessee law. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in Tennessee, subject to applicable jurisdiction rules. They do not change the separate rules governing a public-records request under the Tennessee Public Records Act.

If One Provision Fails

If a court finds part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
