Terms & Conditions

By using McLeod County Busted Mugshots, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. Do not use the site if you do not accept them. These terms govern access to a private reference site, not to the records held by the McLeod County Sheriff’s Office, McLeod County Jail, or other public agencies.

McLeod County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers services governed by the FCRA for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or similar decisions. The site is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference service. It does not store official McLeod County records and cannot verify present custody, release someone, post bond, or file a document with an agency or court.

The site points to official McLeod County custody and records resources, state and federal locators, and outside research tools. Public-record references may include Minnesota’s Government Data Practices Act, Chapter 13, Minn. Stat. § 13.03, Minn. Stat. § 13.82, and Minn. Stat. § 609A.015. The responsible government custodian and court remain the authority for their records.

  • Do not interfere with site operation or another person’s ability to use it.

FCRA Restricted Uses

McLeod County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, background checks, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site.

External Links

The site may link to jail rosters, records-request forms, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, legal resources, and search providers. A link does not endorse the outside service. We do not control its content, privacy practices, accuracy, availability, or terms, so review its policies before using it.


No Warranties

The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranty about the following matters.

  • Accuracy, completeness, or current status of information
  • Continuous or uninterrupted availability
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
  • Completeness of any result returned by an outside partner

Custody information and public records can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the McLeod County Sheriff’s Office or another government agency.
