Terms & Conditions

Use of this site means that you accept these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with them, do not use the site or its tools.

This privately owned reference is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference site with no government authority. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file a document.

Its pages point readers toward Wayne County and Iowa jail, court, corrections, and public-record resources. Some tools are operated by outside research providers.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is conditioned on lawful and responsible use. You agree that you will not:

  • Break a law while using the site
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person
  • Use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision
  • Attempt to enter systems without authorization
  • Run automated bots or scrapers
  • Interfere with the service or other visitors

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It offers no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither do its advertising partners. You agree not to use any information for:

  • Hiring, firing, or another employment decision
  • Tenant selection or housing eligibility
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose governed by the FCRA

External Resources

Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections sites, public portals, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, accuracy, or uptime. A link does not endorse the operator, and users should review its terms.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its tools are provided “as is” without warranties. No guarantee is made that:

  • Information is accurate, complete, or current
  • Access will always be uninterrupted
  • The service has no error or security flaw
  • A partner search will return every relevant record

Custody and public-record information can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Wayne County Sheriff or another agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent Iowa law permits, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site, its operators, and partners harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise stated, the site's text, graphics, logo, and code belong to Wayne County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, published, or distributed without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated version is posted on this page.


Ending or Restricting Access

Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time and for any reason, with or without prior notice.


Iowa Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.


If One Term Fails

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed.
