Terms & Conditions

This private website has no affiliation with Johnson County, any sheriff, jail, police agency, corrections department, or other government body. Neither this service nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service. Information must not be used for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. The site helps visitors locate Johnson County and Iowa custody resources; it is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

Nature of the Service

Johnson County Recent Arrests is an independent reference site. It stores no official arrest, jail, court, or corrections records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, change a record, or file a document. It points to resources such as the Johnson County Jail roster, Sheriff’s criminal complaints, IowaVINE, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DOC, and federal locators, along with independent research tools.


Acceptable Use

By using the service, you agree to act lawfully and responsibly. You may not stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person; make credit, employment, housing, insurance, or other regulated decisions from site material; attempt unauthorized access; operate bots or scrapers; interfere with security; or disrupt access for others.


No Consumer Reports

Johnson County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide credit reports, consumer reports, screening reports, or background checks. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use its information for hiring or firing, tenant or housing decisions, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.


Outside Links

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, federal locators, or outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control a destination’s content, data practices, charges, terms, accuracy, or availability. Review its policies before using it.


No Warranties

The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, no warranty is made that information is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, free of errors or security flaws, or that a partner search will be thorough. Custody and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Johnson County Jail, Iowa Department of Corrections, or another agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, outside links, or partner results.


Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its operators, and partners from claims, losses, costs, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.


Intellectual Property

Site text, original graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Johnson County Recent Arrests or the relevant content partner and are protected by applicable law. They may not be copied, modified, republished, or distributed without written permission, except where law expressly permits.


Changes and Access

These terms may be revised at any time. New terms take effect when posted. Access may also be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any lawful reason, without advance notice.


Iowa Law and Severability

These terms are governed by Iowa law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to public records held by Iowa agencies, but this private site is not an agency custodian. If a provision here is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be adjusted only as needed, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
