Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit to Lassen County Criminal History, including reading a guide or choosing to use a search tool. Accessing any part of the website signals acceptance of all terms below. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the site. These rules also explain the site's private status, the limits of its information, and the restrictions that apply to criminal-record material reached through its pages.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a government body, is not a private investigation firm, and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its guides point readers toward official Lassen County and California resources.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, independent of every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves them, conducts official checks, or files papers for a user.

The guides identify sources such as the Lassen County Sheriff's Office, Superior Court of California, County of Lassen, California Department of Justice, and California Megan's Law Website. Some pages also connect to optional tools operated by outside companies.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Interfere with access, performance, or another visitor's use
  • Deploy scraping, bot, or other automated access tools
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system
  • Use site content for lending, employment, housing, or insurance decisions
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
  • Violate any applicable federal, California, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information reached here must not be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is prohibited and may be criminal. California imposes specific limits on misuse of information from the California Megan's Law Website. Registry access supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create a credit report, background check, or consumer report. The same is true of the services advertised here for purposes of this site. You must not use site or linked-tool information 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 permissible check for a regulated purpose must come through an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant channel, not this website. California DOJ criminal-history dissemination is limited by Penal Code section 11105.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expungement remedy applies to a specific Lassen County matter. Consult a licensed California attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All material is supplied "as is," without a promise 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 may be filed or dismissed, and records may later receive sealing, expungement, or other relief. As a result, gaps and stale details are possible. Only the originating court, sheriff, or agency can issue an official statement.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

A link may lead to a sheriff, court, California agency, legal resource, or commercial search service. The destination is outside our control, so we are not responsible for its content, availability, charges, or data practices. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Lassen County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, changing, distributing, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of this website, its information, or any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

California law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in California. Government-record access remains governed where applicable by the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected text will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
