NO FCRA USE. Washtenaw County Criminal History is private and has no affiliation with a local, Michigan, or federal agency. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service for any decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or files documents for a visitor.
Its role is limited to describing official sources for Washtenaw County records, including Sheriff Records, the local trial courts, Michigan State Police, and the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry, plus providing access to outside search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from the website or a linked tool to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or discriminate against another person. Michigan law places particular limits on misuse of Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry information. The registry supports public safety awareness and does not authorize confrontation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or denial of housing.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A legally permitted check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or an authorized official channel, not this website.
5. No Legal Advice
General descriptions of Washtenaw County records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Michigan attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or set-aside rule applies to a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied "as is." No promise is made that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, dismissals, set-asides, and other updates can change a criminal record. Gaps and delays are possible, and no website content is an official statement by a court, sheriff, police department, or Michigan agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may point to official agencies, court systems, legal resources, or outside search services. Those destinations control their own content, privacy practices, prices, terms, and availability. Review the destination's rules before using it.

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Washtenaw County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, redistribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.

The terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
