Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern use of McMinn County Busted Mugshots. By browsing or using the site, you agree to them. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the site.

McMinn County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site points readers to McMinn County and Tennessee records resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Purpose of the Site

This is a private reference guide, not a government records system. It does not keep official custody, court, or jail files, and it cannot confirm a person’s status, authorize a release, or submit paperwork for a visitor.

It describes records paths in McMinn County and Tennessee, including the Tennessee Public Records Act, TCA §§10-7-501 et seq., and may connect readers with third-party research tools. The Act’s public-record access rules and exemptions remain the responsibility of the agency holding the record.


Rules for Visitors

  • Use the site only in compliance with applicable law.
  • Do not use information from the site to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
  • Do not use site content to decide whether to hire, house, lend to, insure, or otherwise evaluate a person.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site, its systems, or connected services.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor’s access or the normal operation of the site.

FCRA-Prohibited Uses

McMinn County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither the site nor its advertising partners provides screening services.

External Resources

The site may link to jail-information routes, booking-related reports, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, and outside search services. Official examples include the McMinn County Sheriff’s Office, the Circuit Court Clerk, and the Tennessee Department of Correction FOIL search. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the content, privacy practices, fees, data handling, accuracy, or availability of another site, so review its terms before using it.
