This private site is not affiliated with a government body, Sheriff, jail, corrections department, or court. Neither this site nor its advertising or search partners provides consumer reports or FCRA-covered services. Information may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.
Private Reference Service
This site helps visitors locate documented Dorchester County and South Carolina public-safety, custody, and court resources. It does not keep official records, confirm a custody status, release anyone, file documents, or act as a private investigation firm. It may connect a visitor to an outside research tool, but that tool remains independent.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited
We are not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site does not offer consumer reports, credit reports, or screening services, and neither do advertising partners through this site. By using the site, a visitor agrees not to use information for hiring or firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or another purpose governed by the FCRA.
Third-Party Links
The site links to Sheriff pages, jail portals, courts, corrections agencies, federal locators, news organizations, legal resources, and outside search services. Examples include DCSO Citizen Connect, the Dorchester records portal, the Dorchester court index, and SCDC. We do not endorse, control, or guarantee their content, data practices, availability, pricing, or results. Review the terms and privacy terms of any outside provider before using it.
No Warranties
The site is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that information is accurate, complete, current, continuously available, free from errors or security problems, or that any partner search will be comprehensive. Custody and public records can change quickly, and nothing here is an official statement from DCSO or another government office.
Liability and Indemnity
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or an outside service. A user agrees to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims arising from that user’s violation of these terms or unlawful use, including reasonable legal fees where allowed.
Site Materials
The site’s text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Dorchester County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission except where law permits.
Changes and Access
These terms may be revised at any time, and a revised version applies when posted. Access to the site may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, without notice.
South Carolina Law
These terms are governed by the laws of South Carolina. Any dispute must be brought in a court within South Carolina where that venue is permitted. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains effective and the affected provision is adjusted only as needed.
