Terms of Use

These conditions apply whenever you browse Middlesex County Criminal History, read its content, or use a search feature. Continuing to use the website means that you accept all terms below. Do not use the website if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, New Jersey, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act uses. Middlesex County Criminal History is a records-reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve them, perform an official background check, or file a document for a user.

Its role is to identify the custodians of Middlesex County records, including local police, county offices, New Jersey courts, the New Jersey State Police State Bureau of Identification, and the New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry, while also providing access to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use content from this website or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against a person. New Jersey places added limits on use of New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry data. Under N.J.S.A. 2C:7-16, using Megan's Law information to commit a crime or disorderly persons offense carries added penalties. Registry information supports public safety, never vigilante conduct or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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

If a lawful FCRA-covered purpose calls for a background check, use the correct New Jersey State Police process or an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Middlesex County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or New Jersey expungement law applies to one set of facts. A licensed New Jersey attorney can provide that advice.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee 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, dismissals, sealing, and expungement can change a criminal record. Delays and gaps may occur. No content here is an official statement from the Middlesex Sheriff, a court, NJSP, or another government body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, state agency pages, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Middlesex County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, alter, or create derivative work from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

New Jersey law governs these terms, including applicable consumer protections under N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 et seq. OPRA, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., governs government records, while N.J.S.A. 53:1-20.6 and N.J.A.C. 13:59 govern NJSP criminal-history dissemination. None makes this private website an official source. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in New Jersey.

12. Changes to These Terms

We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.

14. Severability

If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
