How we revisit article dates, broken links, changing public-record procedures, and outdated arrest-record information.
Independent information: We are not a government agency, and an arrest is not proof of guilt.
Why updates matter
Court websites, jail search portals, public-record rules, form names and fees can change without notice. Content may become inaccurate even when it was originally checked against an official source.
Triggers for review
Reviews may be prompted by reader reports, official agency announcements, broken links, court policy changes, public record access changes, routine quality assessments, or newly available primary-source guidance.
Review priorities
We prioritize pages with high reader reliance, legal consequences, sensitive-person information, inaccurate contact paths and changes that could cause failed requests or mistaken assumptions about legal outcomes.
Timestamp integrity
A visible updated date should correspond to a meaningful review or content change rather than merely a WordPress edit, theme update or metadata refresh.
What may change
Editors may replace obsolete instructions, improve official links, add restrictions and qualifications, remove unsupported statements, or rewrite unclear guidance.
Reader role
If you find a dead link or mismatch with a government portal, email the page URL and authoritative replacement to [email protected].
