Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Daviess County Criminal History. Opening a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means that you accept them. Do not continue to use the website if you disagree with any condition. Official Missouri and Daviess County sites reached through a link have separate terms that also apply after you leave this site. The rules address lawful use, outside services, legal limitations, intellectual property, and the need to verify records with the office that maintains them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation and is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation service. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for decisions about credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its role is limited to locating criminal-record resources for Daviess County and Missouri.

1. What This Website Is

Daviess County Criminal History is a private reference site with no connection to a court, sheriff, jail, or Missouri agency. It does not maintain official records, conduct official checks, or submit documents for a user.

Its content routes readers to custodians such as the Daviess County Sheriff's Office, Circuit Clerk, Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail, MSHP CJIS Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to search services run by outside providers.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use must remain lawful and must not disrupt the service. You agree not to:

  • Interfere with the site or prevent another person from using it
  • Use a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool on the pages
  • Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
  • Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass another person
  • Rely on site content for any FCRA-regulated decision
  • Violate a local, Missouri, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked service may not be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. The Missouri Sex Offender Registry expressly warns that using registry information to facilitate a crime is illegal. Registry entries support public safety awareness and do not authorize contact, retaliation, vigilantism, or any prohibited adverse decision.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Daviess County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Content from this site or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a housing application
  • Set credit or insurance eligibility or terms
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally required check must be obtained through the proper official or FCRA-compliant channel, with all required notice, consent, and other safeguards.

5. No Legal Advice

The site provides general information, not legal advice or representation. A Missouri lawyer can address how a charge, warrant, sentence, conviction, or expungement rule affects a particular situation.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is" and "as available." No promise is made that:

  • An outside search result will be complete or correctly matched
  • Every page will be free of errors or security flaws
  • Access will always be continuous
  • Information will be complete, current, or accurate at every moment

Charges, custody, docket entries, closures, and expungement orders can change what an official record shows. Site content may therefore lag the source. It is not an official statement from a Daviess County or Missouri office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open a sheriff, court, state agency, legal resource, or outside search service. The destination controls its content, availability, fees, privacy, and terms. Daviess County Criminal History is not responsible for those third-party systems, so review their conditions before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Daviess County Criminal History or the applicable content owner. Except where law allows otherwise, copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative work requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for losses arising from access, inability to access, site content, or information supplied by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, demands, and reasonable costs caused by your misuse of the service or violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms, and a dispute connected with site use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Missouri. The Missouri Sunshine Law controls access duties of public bodies, while §43.506 RSMo governs specified criminal-history reporting and dissemination. Neither makes this private site a public record custodian.

12. Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be revised. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page unless the text states a later date.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without prior notice, including when these conditions are violated.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
