Terms of Use

Using Smith County Recent Arrests means you accept these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, stop using the site. These terms cover its pages, search features, sponsored search results, and links. A service operated by another company or government office may have separate terms and privacy rules.

Smith County Recent Arrests is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and information on this site is not for any purpose covered by that law.


Nature of the Site

This website is an independent guide to arrest and public-record sources for Smith County, Tennessee. Smith County has no public online jail roster or official same-day arrest feed identified here, so this site does not show a live county custody list. It does not keep or host official arrest, booking, jail, or court records, and it has no mugshot gallery. The Smith County Sheriff's Office, the jail, Tennessee VINE, courts, and other agencies manage their own records and systems. We cannot confirm a person's current custody, arrange a release, change an official record, or make a records request for you. An arrest or booking reflects an accusation, not a court finding; each person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.


Acceptable Use

Use the site lawfully and in a way that respects other people and the service. You may not use it to stalk, harass, threaten, impersonate another person, unlawfully expose private information, bypass access controls, interfere with site operation, or collect pages through automated scraping. Do not present a search result as an official decision or as proof of a person's conduct. Confirm a record with the office that maintains it.


No Consumer Reports

Smith County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. You may not use information from this site to make a decision for an FCRA-covered purpose, including credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, licensing, or eligibility for a government program. Search tools and linked services are not offered for those uses either.


Outside Links and Sponsored Results

Links may take you to Smith County, Tennessee, federal, court, news, or other third-party resources. Sponsored search tools may display results from outside providers. A link, listing, or sponsored result is provided as a possible route for your own research; it is not an endorsement or guarantee. Outside providers control their own content, records, privacy practices, fees, terms, and service availability. We do not operate those services or verify every result they return.


No Warranties

The site and its content are offered "as is" and "as available," without express or implied warranties. We do not promise that information is accurate, complete, current, secure, or available without interruption, or that a partner search will find every record. Custody status and public files can change, and a missing online result is not proof that no record exists. Check important details with the originating government office before relying on them.


Liability and Indemnity

To the fullest extent Tennessee law allows, Smith County Recent Arrests and the people who operate it are not liable for losses or damages connected with site access, use, unavailability, reliance on information, or an outside provider. You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your conduct or violation of these terms.


Ownership and Changes

Original site text, graphics, logos, and code are owned by Smith County Recent Arrests or its content partners and remain subject to their intellectual-property rights. Do not copy, alter, or distribute them without permission, except where the law allows. We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here; changes take effect when posted. We may also restrict or end access, with or without notice, where needed to protect the service or respond to misuse.


Tennessee Law and Severability

Tennessee law governs these terms, and any dispute must be brought in a court located in Tennessee unless applicable law requires another forum. Access to government records is addressed by the Tennessee Public Records Act, including Tenn. Code Ann. ยง 10-7-503, subject to legal exceptions; that law does not make this private website a records custodian. If a court finds a provision invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited only as needed, and the remaining terms will stay in effect. For site questions, use the Contacts page.
