Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Jefferson County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a query through an available search tool indicates acceptance of every term below. Do not continue using the site if you disagree with these conditions.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The material identifies criminal-record resources in Jefferson County, Missouri. We are not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a court, law-enforcement office, or Missouri agency. It does not hold official files, conduct official background checks, retrieve records, or submit documents for visitors.

The reference material points to Jefferson County custodians and official systems, including the Sheriff's Office, 23rd Judicial Circuit, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Access to government records remains subject to the Missouri Sunshine Law, court rules, and RSMo §610.120 for closed criminal records.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the site is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Interfere with site performance or another person's access
  • Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar collection tools
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, or harm another person
  • Use the content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Violate any applicable federal, Missouri, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. The rule is especially important for Missouri Sex Offender Registry data. Missouri law prohibits using registry information to facilitate a crime. Registry access supports community awareness, not confrontation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not prepare consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. Advertising partners are not presented as services for evaluating applicants, borrowers, insureds, or renters. Information from the site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a job applicant or make an employment decision
  • Screen an applicant for a lease or housing opportunity
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A legally permitted check for a regulated purpose must be obtained through an authorized official or FCRA-compliant channel, not through this site.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Jefferson County charge, judgment, warrant, or Missouri expungement law affects a particular person. Consult a Missouri-licensed attorney for advice about an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is" and without a guarantee that:

  • A partner tool will return complete or accurate results
  • Every published detail is current, complete, and correct
  • The site will operate continuously without interruption
  • The pages will be free of defects, errors, or security weaknesses

Charges, case statuses, closures, and expungements can change after publication. Gaps and delays are possible. No page is an official statement from the Jefferson County Circuit Clerk, Sheriff's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol, or any other agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to government portals, courts, law-enforcement offices, legal resources, or outside search providers. We do not control a destination's availability, prices, data practices, or content. Its own policies apply once a visitor follows the link.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, graphics, and logos are owned by Jefferson County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. They may not be reproduced, distributed, adapted, or used to create derivative work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for loss or damages arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or use of any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including reasonable legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Missouri.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be directed through the Contact page.
