Terms of Use

By browsing Hawaii Recent Arrests, a visitor agrees to these terms. Stop using the site if you do not accept them. This privately run service explains public record sources and may link to outside search providers. It is not a government office, a private investigation firm, or the agency that holds an arrest record. The terms below apply to this site only; outside services may set separate rules. Public records change, and an arrest entry does not prove guilt.

Hawaii Recent Arrests is privately owned and has no connection to a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide services for decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is not a consumer reporting agency, and visitors agree not to use any information here for an FCRA-covered purpose.

What This Site Provides

This is a private reference service. It stores no official arrest, custody, court, or booking records and cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, or file a document for a visitor.

Hawaii Recent Arrests describes arrest information and booking-photo resources across Hawaiʻi, then points toward county and statewide source pages. Hawaiʻi's UIPA, HRS chapter 92F, concerns access to records held by public agencies. It does not turn this private website into an agency or make its text an official record.

Rules for Use

Visitors may use the site for lawful, personal reference. The following conduct is not allowed:

  • Breaking a law or interfering with another person's legal rights
  • Stalking, harassing, threatening, or doxxing anyone
  • Using information for any FCRA-covered decision or screening purpose
  • Trying to access an account, system, or data store without permission
  • Running bots or scrapers to copy site material or overload its services
  • Disrupting the service or blocking another visitor's use

FCRA Limits on Use

Hawaii Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not provide consumer reports or background checks. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offer screening services. Visitors must not use site information for:

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions
  • Housing or tenant screening
  • Creditworthiness or insurance decisions
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose covered by the FCRA

Outside Links

The site may link to county police pages, DCR and court portals, government sources, county websites, legal resources, and outside search services. Those organizations control their own content, privacy practices, and uptime. A link is provided for reference, not as an endorsement. Review each provider's terms before using its service.

No Warranties

All pages and tools are provided as is, without a promise of the following:

  • Complete, correct, or current information
  • Uninterrupted access to the site
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security gaps
  • Complete or accurate results from partner searches

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from a police department, sheriff, court, or government agency.

Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Hawaii Recent Arrests and its operators are not liable for damages that arise from access to or use of the site, its information, or linked services.

Indemnification

A visitor agrees to protect and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims tied to that visitor's use of the service or violation of these terms. This includes reasonable legal fees and costs connected to such a claim.

Ownership and Copyright

Text, graphics, logos, and code on the site belong to Hawaii Recent Arrests or its content partners unless stated otherwise. Visitors may not copy, alter, or distribute protected material without written permission from its owner.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A change takes effect when the updated wording is posted on the site.

Access May End

Access to all or part of the service may be limited or ended at any time, with or without notice, and for any reason.

Hawaiʻi Law Applies

Hawaiʻi law governs these terms, subject to any rule that cannot legally be waived. To the extent the law allows, a dispute must be brought in a court located in Hawaiʻi.

Severability

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts stay in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it valid.
