This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, police agency, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a consumer report, private investigation, or FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening.
Nature of the Website
This is a private reference for locating San Mateo County and California public-record resources. It stores no official jail, booking, or court record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file a request.
Links may direct visitors to official systems and independent search tools. Those destinations operate separately.
Acceptable Use Rules
Visitors must use the site lawfully and without harming people, services, or systems.
- Do not break a law or violate another person's rights.
- Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or target anyone.
- Do not make credit, hiring, housing, tenant, or insurance decisions from site information.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access or bypass security.
- Do not run automated bots or scrapers.

No Consumer Reports
San Mateo County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and its partners do not provide screening through this site.
Information may not be used for employment or firing, housing or tenant screening, credit or insurance decisions, licensing or government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.
Outside Services and Links
Links can lead to jail locators, police and Sheriff pages, court portals, corrections resources, legal information, news outlets, and search services. A link is not an endorsement. This site does not control a destination's content, privacy practices, prices, or availability, so visitors should review that service's own terms.
No Warranties
The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that information is complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that a partner search will be comprehensive.
Custody and case records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from a government office.
Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access, use, inability to use, or reliance on the site or a linked service.
Indemnification
A user agrees to defend and hold the site, its operators, and partners harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees caused by that user's conduct, misuse, or breach of these terms.
Ownership of Content
Site text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to San Mateo County Busted Mugshots or the identified content partner. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission, except where law expressly permits.
Terms May Change
These terms may be revised at any time. The posted version takes effect upon publication, and later use is governed by that version.
Access May End
Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time and for any reason, with or without advance notice.
California Law Controls
California law governs these terms. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in California.
Severability
If a court finds one term invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
