Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and other use of the website. Accessing any part of it means that you accept the terms below. Do not continue using the service if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Michigan, or federal government body. The website and its advertising partners do not provide a service for employment, credit, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its role is limited to locating Presque Isle County and Michigan record resources. It is neither a private investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference resource that operates independently of government. It does not hold official criminal records, conduct official checks, retrieve files, or submit forms for a visitor.

Its content identifies custodians of Presque Isle County records, including the Sheriff, local criminal courts, Michigan State Police CJIC, and the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use automated agents, bots, or scrapers against the pages
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
  • Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
  • Rely on the content for an employment, housing, lending, or insurance decision
  • Violate a federal, Michigan, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked service may not be used to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Michigan law places special limits on misuse of Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry information. MCL 28.730 makes certain misuse a crime. Registry access supports lawful public-safety awareness, never vigilante action or discriminatory treatment.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. Advertising partners are not offered as services for evaluating applicants, borrowers, insurance risks, or renters. Data from the website or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a rental or housing application
  • Assess credit or set an insurance rate
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out another action governed by the FCRA

A regulated purpose requires the proper official process through Michigan State Police CJIC or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

General descriptions of Presque Isle County criminal records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Michigan attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, or set-aside law applies to an individual situation.

6. No Warranties

All material is supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • An outside search result will be complete or correct
  • Pages will remain free from bugs or security defects
  • Access will always be uninterrupted
  • Every item will be complete, current, and accurate

Records change when charges are filed, resolved, restricted, or set aside. Delays and gaps can occur. No page should be treated as an official statement by the Sheriff, a court, Michigan State Police, or another public office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to courts, the Sheriff's office, Michigan agencies, legal resources, and outside search companies. Those destinations operate beyond our control. Their availability, prices, content, privacy practices, and accuracy are their responsibility. Review a destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Presque Isle County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. They may not be copied, changed, redistributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for losses arising from use of the website, including reliance on its content or an outside service reached through it.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims or demands caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal expenses where permitted.

11. Governing Law

Michigan law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the website must be brought in an appropriate court located in Michigan.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
