| Validity of the information
|
|
The information changes no legal ruling or order, regulations, or other published orders
and official information. In the event of a contradiction between the information appearing
on the site and any legal order or official publication, the legal order or official
publication will take precedence.
Relying on the information displayed as part of the service cannot be used as grounds or
proof for any rights whatsoever, nor can the information on the site be relied on as
grounds for a right of any kind whatsoever.
The user is hereby warned against misuse of the information and the services offered as
part of the site. The user is hereby notified that the police are likely to use the
information that he or she sends, and that this use is liable to harm or cause damage
to persons affected by the information. The user is aware that if damage is caused to
the police or to a third party as a result of distorted, misleading, or erroneous
information of any kind whatsoever provided by him or her, the liability rests solely with
the user. The user is aware that the information delivered through the Internet is public
knowledge, and that access to this information, and its discovery by unauthorized parties,
cannot be prevented with certainty.

The service includes links to other sites, which are not owned by the state of Israel
(hereafter – “the other sites”). The links are intended solely for the user’s convenience,
and the state assumes no responsibility for the content of the other sites. Unless otherwise
noted, the state has no connection to the other sites, and has no legal relationship of any
kind whatsoever with the owners of these sites.
Links to the other sites should not be interpreted as a sign of authorization, approval,
recommendation, or preference on the part of the police for these other sites, including

| Use of the site |
|
It is hereby declared that any information given to the police that gives rise to suspicions
that a criminal act has been committed will be handled by the police at its professional
discretion. The police will handle such information according to the priorities of the units
responsible for dealing with the matter.
The decision whether to open an investigation, or whether to handle the information in a
different manner, will be taken according to the usual criteria used by the police.
The delivery of information through this site is not a substitute for filing a complaint
at either a police station, or the Ministry of Justice department for the investigation of
police officers, whichever is appropriate.
Anonymous information is usually assigned a low level of credibility, and given low priority.
The police are authorized to contact the person giving the information, and to ask him or her
for further particulars.
You are hereby warned not to misuse the information and the forms appearing on this site, or
in the service offered to you in this section.
You are aware that information reaching the police may cause the opening of a criminal
investigation, and may serve the police as grounds for exercising its authority, to the
detriment of a member of the public.
Giving false or misleading information under the circumstances stipulated by law is a
criminal offense.
In the section pertaining to appeals of traffic violations, it is hereby stated that an
inquiry made through the Internet does not constitute an “inquiry by registered mail” for
the purposes of regulations 42(b) and 42a (c) of the 5734-1974 Criminal Law Procedure Regulations,
and at any event does not constitute evidence proving the date of delivery or arrival of any request.
