NO FCRA USE. Lee County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Alabama, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to organize links and instructions for Lee County, Alabama criminal-record resources. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not keep official criminal records, obtain records for a visitor, perform official checks, or submit documents on anyone's behalf.
Its material identifies official custodians, including the Lee County Sheriff's Office, the courts hearing Lee County cases, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency criminal-history repository, and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
A visitor agrees not to:
- Use automated scraping, bot, or extraction tools against the pages
- Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from gaining access
- Attempt to enter a system or account without authorization
- Use material to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision
- Violate any local, Alabama, or federal law through use of the website
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information found here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. The rule is especially important for Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Sex Offender Registry data. Alabama Code § 15-20A-43 makes specified solicitation, threats, harassment, or other criminal conduct based on registry status punishable as a Class C misdemeanor unless another law imposes a greater penalty. Registry access supports lawful community awareness, never private punishment or prohibited discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Lee County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not make background checks, credit reports, or any other consumer report. Its advertising partners do not turn this website into a service for screening applicants, evaluating rental requests, calculating insurance rates, or assessing credit. A visitor must not use information from the site or a linked tool to:
- Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Make a hiring or termination decision
A check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized, compliant provider. Alabama's official criminal-history repository is maintained by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, State Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division.
5. No Legal Advice
The site provides general reference material, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Lee County charge, conviction, warrant, or Alabama expungement law affects one person. A licensed Alabama attorney should address that question.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." There is no guarantee that:
- An outside search provider's results will be complete or correct
- Every page is free from errors, security issues, or defects
- The website will remain available without interruption
- Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
Criminal records can change after charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. No statement on the site is an official representation by a court, sheriff, police department, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may open sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-service, or outside search websites that Lee County Criminal History does not control. The site is not responsible for an external service's availability, content, fees, security, or data handling. Review the destination's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code are owned by Lee County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to make a derivative work without prior written permission.

10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Alabama law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court located in Alabama. Official Alabama public-record and criminal-information provisions include Alabama Code §§ 36-12-40 and 41-9-601.
