NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The content points to criminal-record resources in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. It is not a private investigation service or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves them, performs official checks, or submits filings for visitors.
Its purpose is to identify the custodians of Rio Arriba County records, including the sheriff, New Mexico Judiciary, New Mexico Department of Public Safety, and DPS Sex Offender Registry, and to provide links to outside research tools. Public-agency access is governed in part by the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, NMSA 1978 §14-2-1. State criminal-history dissemination follows the narrower subject-access rule in NMSA 1978 §29-10-6.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar tools against the pages
- Interfere with performance or prevent access by others
- Seek unauthorized entry to any system
- Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable federal, state, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may be criminal. The restriction is especially important for the New Mexico DPS Sex Offender Registry, which exists for public safety awareness. Registry information does not authorize vigilantism, harassment, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination. New Mexico law may impose penalties for misuse.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners do not provide a service through this site for job screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or credit decisions. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
For an authorized purpose in that list, obtain the proper official check through the New Mexico Department of Public Safety or use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed New Mexico attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule affects a particular situation.
6. No Warranties
All material is provided "as is." There is no guarantee that:
- A partner tool will return complete or accurate results
- The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
- Service will always remain available without interruption
- Information is complete, accurate, or current at a given time
Charges can be filed or dismissed, and records may later be sealed or expunged. Gaps and delays are therefore unavoidable. Nothing published here is an official statement from a sheriff, court, or other government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff offices, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations and accept no responsibility for their content, privacy practices, charges, or availability. Review their terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Rio Arriba County Criminal History or its content partners own the site’s text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the website, including reliance on its content or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
New Mexico law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located in New Mexico.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
