Hawaii Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government agency and not affiliated with any police department, sheriff, jail, or corrections office. It helps readers locate arrest-record and booking-photo resources across Hawaiʻi. It is not a private-investigation business or a consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide a service for any use covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening.
Nature of This Reference Site
This privately operated resource has no government affiliation. It does not store county or state arrest records, confirm a person's custody, release anyone, or file official documents.
Hawaiʻi's Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F, governs access to records held by state and county agencies. It does not make this private site an agency or records custodian. The site points visitors to county police pages, DCR, the courts, and outside tools that may hold relevant material.
Acceptable Use
Use the pages and tools lawfully and without interfering with other visitors. You agree not to:
- break a law or another person's rights;
- stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person;
- use the information for a decision covered by the FCRA;
- try to access systems without permission;
- run automated scraping or collection tools without authorization; or
- disrupt access or operation for other users.
FCRA Use Is Prohibited
Hawaii Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Neither the site nor its ad partners offer a screening service. You agree not to use information from the site or its tools for any purpose governed by the FCRA, including:
- employment decisions, including hiring or firing;
- housing or tenant-screening decisions;
- credit, lending, or insurance eligibility and pricing;
- licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
- any other use covered by the FCRA.
External Links
Links may lead to county arrest logs, police or corrections sites, government portals, courts, county pages, and outside search providers. A link is not an endorsement. Hawaii Busted Mugshots does not control another service's content, privacy practices, prices, or uptime. Read the destination's own terms before using it.

The site and its content are provided “as is,” without warranties, to the fullest extent allowed by law. No promise is made that the service will be:
- accurate, complete, or current;
- available without interruption;
- free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses; or
- complete in the results returned by a search partner.
Custody and public records can change. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff, police department, court, or corrections agency.
