NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance eligibility, tenant screening, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site points readers to Hoke County and North Carolina criminal-record resources. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation business.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site that operates independently from government. It does not keep official criminal records and cannot retrieve records, conduct official checks, or file documents for a visitor.
Its content identifies custodians such as the Hoke County Sheriff's Office, the North Carolina courts, NCSBI, and the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. North Carolina's Public Records Law, Chapter 132, governs public-agency records, while G.S. 132-1.4 sets specific rules for criminal-investigation information. Links to independent tools may also be provided for research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, a visitor agrees not to:
- Run a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
- Use site information to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Use the content for housing, hiring, lending, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable federal, North Carolina, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or discriminate against another person. Misconduct may also be criminal. North Carolina registry information is disclosed for public safety under Article 27A of Chapter 14, including G.S. 14-208.10. It is not a license for vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination in employment or housing.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners likewise do not provide a service through this site for evaluating rental applications, job applicants, insurance rates, or creditworthiness. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
- Determine eligibility for a government program, permit, or license
- Assess creditworthiness or insurance eligibility
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Make a hiring or firing decision
A lawful check for a regulated purpose must come through an authorized official process or an FCRA-compliant screening provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General information about Hoke County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or North Carolina expunction law affects a specific person. A licensed North Carolina attorney should address those questions.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are offered "as is." We make no promise that:
- An outside search provider's results will be complete or correct
- The pages contain no errors, defects, or security weaknesses
- The site will operate continuously without interruption
- Information will always be current, accurate, or complete
Criminal records change when charges are filed or dismissed and when records are sealed or expunged. Updates can lag. No statement here is an official representation by NCSBI, the Hoke County sheriff, a court, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to the Hoke County Sheriff's Office, court portals, NCSBI, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Those destinations are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their content, fees, data handling, or availability, and visitors should review the destination's terms.
