NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation and is not a consumer reporting agency. 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 Orleans Parish and Louisiana criminal-record resources.
1. What This Website Is
Orleans Parish Criminal History is an independent reference website. It does not hold official records, conduct official checks, or file forms for a user.
It directs readers to records kept by NOPD, the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office, criminal court clerks, Louisiana State Police BCII, and the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. It may also connect a visitor to outside search services.
2. Rules for Using This Site
A visitor agrees not to:
- Violate federal, Louisiana, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass another person with information found here
- Use content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or automated collection tools
- Interfere with website availability or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked service may not be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate. This restriction is especially important for Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry data. Louisiana law limits misuse of registry information, and the registry is intended for public safety awareness rather than retaliation or vigilante acts.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Orleans Parish Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create credit reports, background reports, or consumer reports. No content or linked tool may be used to:
- Make hiring or termination decisions
- Evaluate housing or rental applications
- Set credit or insurance terms
- Determine eligibility for licenses, benefits, or government programs
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
A legally required check must be obtained from an authorized official channel, such as Louisiana State Police BCII, or from an FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
General descriptions of Orleans Parish records are not legal advice. A licensed Louisiana attorney should address how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement rule affects a particular matter.
6. No Warranties
All website content is supplied "as is." There is no promise that:
- Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
- The website will operate without interruption
- Every page will be free from defects or security risks
- An outside search result will be complete or correctly matched
Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expungements can change a record. Content here is not an official statement by an Orleans Parish or Louisiana government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Government portals, legal resources, and outside search services have their own content, fees, availability, and data practices. Orleans Parish Criminal History does not control them and is not responsible for their operation. Users should review the destination's terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Orleans Parish Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent Louisiana law permits, the operator is not liable for loss arising from use of the website, its content, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to protect and reimburse the operator against claims, proceedings, expenses, and legal fees arising from that user's conduct or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Louisiana law governs these terms. Litigation concerning use of the website must be brought in a court located in Louisiana. Government record access remains governed by the Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., and BCII criminal-history dissemination by La. R.S. 15:576-588.
12. Changes to These Terms
The operator may revise these conditions. A revision becomes effective when the updated terms are posted.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected term will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
