NO FCRA USE. This privately operated resource has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act decisions. Its purpose is to identify Roanoke County, Virginia record channels. It is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of every public office. It neither stores official records nor retrieves them, performs official checks, or files a request for a user.
Its content identifies Roanoke County Police, the Sheriff and jail, criminal courts, Virginia State Police CARE, and the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Official agency access is governed in part by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, §2.2-3700 et seq., while Virginia Code §19.2-389 controls central criminal-history dissemination. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Use the service in violation of federal, Virginia, or local law
- Threaten, harass, or stalk another person with information found here
- Use content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to the website or its systems
- Deploy bots, scraping software, or automated collection tools
- Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No website or linked-tool information may be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate. Misuse may also violate law. Virginia Code §9.1-913 treats registry publication as a public-safety measure, not permission for vigilante acts or discriminatory treatment of a listed person.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and creates no consumer, credit, or background report. Its content and linked tools may not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A legally permitted official check must be obtained through the Virginia Department of State Police or an FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations about Roanoke County records are not legal advice. A licensed Virginia attorney should address how a charge, warrant, conviction, expungement, or sealing law affects a specific person.
6. No Warranties
All content is provided "as is," without a guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, outcomes, access rules, seals, and expungements can change a record. Gaps may occur, and no page is an official statement from a court or agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External links lead to public offices, court portals, legal-aid resources, and private services that we do not control. Their content, availability, privacy practices, and fees are their responsibility. Review the destination's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Roanoke County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, alter, or create derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims or demands caused by your use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
