Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Madison Parish Criminal History. Accessing content or using a search tool means that you accept them. Do not continue using the website if you disagree with any condition.

NO FCRA USE. Madison Parish Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Louisiana, or federal government body. This site and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We help readers locate Madison Parish, Louisiana record resources. We are neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site, not a government office. We cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official background check, store government criminal files, or submit paperwork for a visitor.

Our content routes readers to the Madison Parish Sheriff, criminal courts, Louisiana State Police BCII-LCJIS, and the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. Some pages also connect to third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must 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

You may not use information from this site or a linked tool to threaten, intimidate, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Misuse may be criminal. This rule is especially important for the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. Louisiana provides registry information for public safety awareness, not vigilante action 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

For a regulated screening purpose, use an FCRA-compliant screening provider and follow the laws that govern that purpose. Louisiana criminal-history dissemination is controlled by R.S. 15:575-588 and does not create a public, unrestricted LACCH name search.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Madison Parish records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to an individual matter. Seek a Louisiana-licensed attorney for legal guidance.

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

Criminal records can change when charges are filed, dismissed, amended, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays are possible. Treat no content here as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may send a visitor to a sheriff, court portal, Louisiana agency, legal aid group, or outside search service. We do not operate those destinations and disclaim responsibility for their availability, content, prices, and data practices. Review the destination's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Madison Parish Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code presented here. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative work from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of this site, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Louisiana law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Louisiana. The Louisiana Public Records Law, R.S. 44:1 et seq., governs public custodians and does not make this private site a public records custodian.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A new version becomes effective when posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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