Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Ben Hill County Busted Mugshots, a privately operated reference service for finding official Ben Hill County, Fitzgerald, Georgia corrections, court, and custody resources. The service is not a government agency, does not hold official records, and does not replace Sheriff Lee Cone's office, the Ben Hill County Detention Center, Fitzgerald Police, the courts, or the Georgia Department of Corrections.

By using these pages, you acknowledge that an arrest, warrant, booking entry, or photograph describes an accusation or agency record and is not proof of guilt. Verify important information with the originating office and use the official legal process for any case question.


Private Reference Service

Ben Hill County Busted Mugshots has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government body. It stores no official jail roster, booking photograph, arrest file, or court docket. The Ben Hill County Sheriff's portal, county jail search, and Fitzgerald Police links point to sources controlled by those parties and by Sheriff Lee Cone's office. The Georgia Department of Corrections, BOP, ICE, courts, and other publishers likewise control their own records.


Acceptable Use

Use the pages only in a lawful and respectful way. You agree not to:

  • Break a law or violate another person's rights while using the service.
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or expose private personal details about another person.
  • Use the pages or a linked result to make decisions about a person's eligibility or suitability in a regulated context.
  • Attempt unauthorized access, bypass a security control, or interfere with another visitor's use.
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated requests that burden the pages or an outside provider.
  • Upload malicious code, impersonate an agency, or misrepresent a record.

FCRA Restriction

This is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Neither this service nor its advertising or search partners provides consumer reports or screening services. You agree not to use material from these pages or a linked tool for any FCRA-covered purpose, including:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant or housing screening
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other use governed by the FCRA

These limits apply even when an outside provider describes its own product differently.


Outside Links and Tools

The pages link to official rosters, booking systems, sheriff and corrections pages, court indexes, federal locators, news publishers, and third-party search tools. An outbound link is provided for navigation and is not an endorsement. The private service does not control another party's content, accuracy, privacy practices, fees, availability, or response to a records request. Review the destination's terms before submitting information.


Information Provided As Is

The content and links are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that information is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suitable for a particular need. Ben Hill custody status, court records, agency contacts, and public pages can change without notice. Partner search results may be incomplete or may contain errors. Nothing here is an official statement from the Ben Hill County Sheriff's Office, the jail, Fitzgerald Police, GDC, or another government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operator and its owners, contractors, partners, and service providers are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, reliance on, inability to access, or interaction with these pages or an outside link. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, and lost-data or lost-profit claims, even if the possibility was known.


Your Indemnity Promise

You agree to defend and hold harmless the operator and its related people and providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the service, your violation of these Terms, your unlawful conduct, or your infringement of another person's rights.


Ownership and Permission

The wording, layout, graphics, logo, code, and other original material on these pages belong to Ben Hill County Busted Mugshots or the applicable content partner. No one may copy, republish, sell, distribute, modify, or create a derivative service from that material without written permission, except for ordinary personal browsing and legally protected quotation.


Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be revised when the service, law, or operating practices change. A revised version becomes effective when posted unless a later date is stated. Continued use after posting means the updated Terms govern later access.


Access May End

The operator may limit, suspend, or block access to all or part of the service at any time, with or without notice, for maintenance, abuse prevention, security, legal compliance, or any other reason. A restriction does not remove obligations that by their nature should continue, including the FCRA restriction, ownership terms, indemnity, and liability limits.


Georgia Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without applying conflict-of-law rules that would select another jurisdiction. Any dispute must be brought in a court located in Georgia, unless applicable law requires another forum.


Severability

If a court finds one part of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable while preserving its intended purpose.
