NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Bedford County, Tennessee, or any other government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for employment screening, credit decisions, tenant evaluation, insurance underwriting, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a record-resource reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site and operates independently from government. It cannot retrieve an official criminal record, perform an official check, submit a filing, or maintain a government record.
Its content identifies Bedford County and Tennessee custodians, including the Sheriff, the Circuit Court Clerk, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. The county government gateway supplies current local department routing. Some pages also contain tools operated by outside companies.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on the following limits. You will not:
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
- Apply site content to a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
- Use automated scraping, bots, or similar collection tools
- Interfere with access, speed, security, or normal site operation
- Violate any applicable federal, Tennessee, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. The Tennessee Sexual Offender and Violent Sexual Offender Registration, Verification and Tracking Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-39-201 et seq., governs registry information. Misuse can create criminal or civil consequences. Registry access serves public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful exclusion.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce credit reports, consumer reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer linked tools for an FCRA-regulated decision. Data from the site or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Evaluate a rental or other housing application
- Make a hiring, retention, or termination decision
- Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
A regulated use requires the proper official or FCRA-compliant channel. Tennessee's central criminal-history agency is the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
5. No Legal Advice
Content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Tennessee attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expunction rule applies to a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and tools are offered "as is." No promise is made that:
- A partner's results will be complete, current, or correctly matched
- Every page will remain available without interruption
- Content will always be accurate, complete, or current
- The service will contain no error, defect, or security weakness
Charges, dispositions, custody, restrictions, and expunction status can change. Gaps and delays are possible. Only the responsible court, Sheriff, TBI, or other custodian can issue an official statement or record.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External links may lead to courts, sheriff offices, Tennessee agencies, legal resources, and search companies. We do not control those services, their content, prices, data practices, or availability. Their own terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.
8. Intellectual Property
Bedford County Criminal History and its content partners retain rights in the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, adapting, distributing, or building upon that material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damage arising from use of the website, its information, or any linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, proceedings, legal fees, and related costs caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.
12. Changes to These Terms
Revised terms may be posted at any time and take effect when they appear on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
