NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with Erie County, Pennsylvania, or any government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The website only identifies criminal-record resources. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private-investigation service.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference website with no government affiliation. We neither store official criminal records nor retrieve records, conduct official checks, or file documents for visitors.
Its content points to the Erie County courts, sheriff and prison, municipal police agencies, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan’s Law Public Website. Some pages also connect visitors with tools operated by outside providers.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, a visitor agrees not to:
- Use the content for any decision about hiring, housing, lending, or insurance
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Violate any applicable local, Pennsylvania, or federal law
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
- Disrupt service or prevent another visitor from using the website
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also be criminal. Pennsylvania registry information is published for public protection, not vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination. Misuse of data from the Pennsylvania State Police Megan’s Law Public Website can carry legal penalties.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and create no consumer report, credit report, or background check. Our advertising partners and this website do not provide tools designed to review applicants, evaluate renters, set insurance rates, or assess credit. Content here or from a linked tool may not be used to:
- Set insurance pricing or assess creditworthiness
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
- Serve any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
A check required for a regulated purpose must come from the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General information about Erie County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, expungement rule, or limited-access law applies to one situation. Consult a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- The pages are free from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses
- Any partner's search result is complete or correct
- Information remains accurate, current, and complete
- The website will operate without interruption
Erie County records can change when charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, granted limited access, or expunged. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, police department, prison, or Pennsylvania agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to Erie County offices, court portals, Pennsylvania agencies, legal-aid groups, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, data practices, fees, or availability. Review the destination's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Erie County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, code, logos, and graphics. No one may copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for damage arising from use of this website, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by that visitor's use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms, and any dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania. Government-record access remains subject to laws such as the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, while dissemination of criminal-history information is governed by 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the minimum degree needed for enforcement.
