NO FCRA USE. Racine County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a Wisconsin records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of every government office. It does not keep official criminal files, obtain records for users, perform official checks, or submit forms on anyone's behalf.
Its content identifies the Racine County sheriff and court channels, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, and outside tools that may assist personal research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked service must not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Misuse may also violate criminal law. This warning is especially important for Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry data. The registry exists for public safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory conduct.
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:
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
A legally compliant check for a regulated purpose must come from Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau or another service authorized and compliant for that purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
Content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to a specific set of facts.
6. No Warranties
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
Charges may be filed, amended, dismissed, restricted, or expunged, so criminal-record information changes. Gaps and delays are possible. No content here is an official statement of a court, sheriff, police department, or Wisconsin agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to government portals, legal-service organizations, and private search providers that operate independently. Their content, availability, charges, privacy practices, and terms are outside this site's control. Review the destination's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Racine County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material.

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
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
