Alabama Recent Arrests is a privately operated reference site. It is not affiliated with ALEA, any sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other government body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide consumer reports or screening for credit, jobs, insurance, housing, or another purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This site helps readers find public arrest-record and booking-photo resources across Alabama; it is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.
What This Site Provides
The site summarizes where official Alabama arrest and booking information may be found and links to public offices, county guides, court portals, and outside search providers. It does not store official jail, arrest, warrant, or court records. It cannot verify custody, arrange a release, post bond, or submit a document to an agency.
County record systems differ in coverage, search options, update timing, fees, and access limits. Links and descriptions are offered as navigation help, not as a promise that a source will return every record. The public agency that holds the information controls its release and is the proper place to confirm it.
Rules for Use
- Use the site only in ways permitted by law.
- Do not use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or target anyone.

- Do not try to access accounts, servers, or data without authorization.
- Do not use automated bots, scrapers, or bulk collection tools against the site.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not provide a background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service. The same restriction applies to any search partner or advertising service linked here. You agree not to use, share, or rely on information from this site for a purpose governed by the FCRA, including:

Outside Links and Services
Links may take you to county jail rosters, sheriff and corrections sites, government portals, court systems, news outlets, legal resources, or commercial search services. Those organizations control their own information, privacy practices, fees, uptime, and terms. We do not endorse every statement or service on an outside site. Review its terms before using it or sending information.
No Warranty
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent allowed by law, we make no warranty about:
- Accuracy, completeness, or current status of a description or link
- Continuous, secure, or uninterrupted access
- Freedom from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
- Coverage or completeness of an outside search provider's results
Public records, custody, charges, and agency pages can change without notice. Nothing on this site is an official statement by a sheriff, jail, court, ALEA, or another government office. Verify important details with the record custodian before acting.
Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator and its contributors will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from access to or use of this site, a linked resource, or an inability to use either one. This includes loss caused by reliance on incomplete, delayed, or unavailable information.
Responsibility for Claims
You agree to defend and hold harmless the site operator and its contributors from claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your unlawful or harmful conduct toward another person.
Site Materials
Unless a notice says otherwise, the site's text, graphics, logo, and code belong to Alabama Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, modify, republish, distribute, or create derivative works from those materials without written permission. Government records and third-party materials remain subject to their own rights and terms.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when posted on this page. Continued use after the change means you accept the updated terms.
Access Limits
We may limit, suspend, or block access to the site at any time, with or without notice, including when necessary to protect the service, its users, or its systems.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Alabama.
Severability
If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts remain in effect. The affected part will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
