Terms of use

These terms govern your use of CSRA Crime (csracrime.com). By accessing or using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What this site is

CSRA Crime publishes structured copies of public arrest and booking records sourced from county sheriff’s offices and detention centers in Richmond and Columbia counties (Georgia) and Aiken and Edgefield counties (South Carolina). The site is journalistic in purpose: it makes already-public data easier to browse and search.

We are not a law enforcement agency, a court, or a legal service. The site does not provide legal advice. Information on the site is not a substitute for an official record from the relevant court or agency.

An arrest is not a conviction

Every person on this site is presumed innocent. A booking record reflects what the arresting agency listed at the time of arrest. It does not establish guilt and does not reflect later developments (charges may be amended, dropped, dismissed, or resolved favorably without our knowledge). If a record about you needs to be corrected, annotated, or removed, use the removal or correction request form. There is no fee, and the request is logged and tracked.

Accuracy and warranties

We make a good-faith effort to publish records accurately. The data comes from external public sources and may contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date information. The site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not use generative AI to fabricate or fill in details about any record. Records are structured by deterministic parsers from the source documents.

Acceptable use

You may browse the site, read records, search the database, share links, and quote individual records for journalistic, educational, or personal-research purposes. You may not:

• Scrape, bulk-download, or otherwise systematically copy the database or any substantial portion of it.
• Use the data to harass, threaten, defame, extort, or otherwise harm any person identified in a record.
• Use the data to build a service that charges for record removal, or to pressure people into paying for removal of records hosted elsewhere. This site has its own free removal/correction process and is not affiliated with any “mugshot removal” service.
• Republish records in a way that suggests guilt, conviction, or moral judgment beyond what the source booking record itself contains.
• Attempt to interfere with the site’s operation (denial-of-service, security probing without prior written permission, etc.).

We may rate-limit, block, or take legal action against users who violate this policy.

Removal and corrections

Requests to remove or correct a record go through the removal/correction request form. There is no fee. We aim to resolve eligible requests within 30 days per Georgia O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 and analogous South Carolina standards. See the methodology page for how records are sourced and structured.

Intellectual property

Booking records and similar government documents are not subject to copyright in the United States; you may reuse the underlying facts freely. The site’s design, structure, layout, and code are the property of CSRA Crime. You may not copy or repurpose the site’s design or substantial portions of its code without permission.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CSRA Crime and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on any information on it. Our aggregate liability for any direct damages will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold CSRA Crime harmless from any claim arising out of your misuse of the site, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of another person.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of the site will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Richmond County, Georgia.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
