Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on this website. Accessing any part of the site means that you accept all terms stated below. Do not continue using the site if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Missouri, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Clinton County and Missouri criminal-record resources. It is not a private-investigation service or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It neither stores official criminal records nor files documents, obtains records, or runs official checks for a visitor.

Its content identifies the offices that maintain Clinton County criminal records, including the sheriff, criminal courts, Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use the site in violation of federal, Missouri, or local law
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use site content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any connected system
  • Send bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the pages
  • Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the site or a linked tool must not be used to intimidate, harass, stalk, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is forbidden and may be criminal. Missouri registry information is intended for public-safety awareness. It cannot lawfully support vigilantism, harassment, a crime, or discriminatory action against a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create background checks, credit reports, or other consumer reports. Our services and those advertised here are not designed for regulated screening. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

A check for a regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency, subject to all applicable law.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Clinton County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Missouri expungement law affects a specific person. Consult a Missouri-licensed attorney for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are provided "as is." We make no promise that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, closed, or expunged after publication. Gaps and delay are possible, so no site content should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, or outside search services that we do not control. We are not responsible for an external site's availability, content, price, or treatment of submitted data. Review its own terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Clinton County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the broadest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from site use, linked services, or reliance on information found through either.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by your site use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms, including the Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, and the criminal-history dissemination provisions of section 43.535 where they apply. A dispute tied to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Missouri, subject to applicable jurisdiction rules.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revised version becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, with or without notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected text will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
