NO FCRA USE. Floyd County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer services intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other uses governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The website is a criminal-record resource for Floyd County, Virginia, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
Floyd County Criminal History is an independent reference website with no government affiliation. It does not keep official criminal files, retrieve official records, submit court papers, or conduct official background checks for visitors.
Its role is to direct readers to Floyd County record custodians, including the Sheriff and criminal courts, the Virginia Department of State Police Criminal Justice Information Services Division's Central Criminal Records Exchange, and the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. It may also connect visitors to search tools run by outside providers.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Every visitor agrees not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Virginia, or local law
- Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate another person with information found here
- Use website content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt to enter accounts, systems, or data without authorization
- Send bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools through the pages
- Interfere with the website or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information obtained here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may violate criminal or civil law. The restriction is especially important for the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry, which exists for public safety notice. Virginia law governs use of registry information, and unlawful misuse against a listed person can carry criminal or civil consequences. Registry data must not be used for vigilantism, threats, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Floyd County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. The website and its advertising partners do not provide a service designed to screen applicants, assess rental applications, determine insurance rates, or judge creditworthiness. No visitor may use this website or a linked tool to:
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Evaluate a renter or applicant for housing
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out another activity regulated by the FCRA
A check needed for a regulated purpose must come through the proper Virginia Department of State Police channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Floyd County records cannot determine how a Virginia warrant, charge, conviction, sealing rule, or expungement law applies to one person's facts. Advice about a specific matter should come from a Virginia-licensed attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied “as is.” No promise is made that:
- Information will always be accurate, complete, or up to date
- The website will operate without interruption
- Pages will be free from defects or security weaknesses
- A partner search will return complete or correct results
Criminal records may change when a charge is filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. Nothing published here is an official statement by the Floyd County Sheriff, a Virginia court, VSP CCRE, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to Floyd County offices, court portals, Virginia agencies, legal aid resources, and outside search services. Those services are not controlled by Floyd County Criminal History. No responsibility is accepted for their content, privacy practices, prices, availability, or terms. Visitors should read the destination's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code on the website belong to Floyd County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the greatest extent permitted by law, Floyd County Criminal History is not responsible for losses or damages resulting from use of the website, including reliance on its content or on information returned by a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold Floyd County Criminal History harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by that visitor's use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal expenses.
11. Governing Law
Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Virginia. The Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Virginia Code §2.2-3700 et seq., governs access to qualifying records held by Virginia public bodies. Criminal-history dissemination by VSP CCRE is separately limited by Virginia Code §19.2-389.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the new terms are posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access to all or part of the website may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be changed only to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
