NO FCRA USE. Lancaster County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a government body. This website and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps readers locate criminal-record channels in Lancaster County and Pennsylvania. 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 government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor submits filings, retrieves files, or conducts an official check for a visitor.
Its role is to identify the Lancaster County courts, police departments, county prison, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website that maintain source records, as well as outside tools that may assist research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Interfere with the website or prevent another person from accessing it
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
- Use site information for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision
- Harass, stalk, intimidate, or threaten any person
- Violate a local, Pennsylvania, or federal law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information found here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against someone. Such conduct may also be criminal. Pennsylvania registry law makes this limit especially important for data from the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. The registry supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and create no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Our advertising partners likewise do not supply services designed for applicant screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or credit decisions through this site. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:
- Take any other action regulated by the FCRA
- Set insurance terms or evaluate creditworthiness
- Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
- Evaluate a housing or rental applicant
- Make an employment decision
A check needed for a regulated purpose must come from Pennsylvania State Police or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General information about Lancaster County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, Clean Slate rule, or expungement law applies to one matter. Consult a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- An outside search result will be complete or correct
- Pages will be free from bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
- Access will always be uninterrupted
- Every statement will remain current, accurate, and complete
Criminal records change as charges are filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Updates can lag, and omissions can occur. No content here is an official statement from Lancaster County, a court, a police agency, or Pennsylvania State Police.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to county offices, police agencies, court portals, Pennsylvania services, legal resources, and outside search providers. We do not control a destination's availability, prices, data practices, or content and accept no responsibility for them. Review its terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Lancaster County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. Copying, adapting, distributing, or creating a derivative work requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from website use, including reliance on content obtained here or from a linked provider.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or proceeding caused by your site use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms. A legal dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions. A new version becomes effective when it is published on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be suspended or terminated at any time, without advance notice and for any reason.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.
