Scott County Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Scott County Recent Arrests and its links to custody, court, corrections, public-record, and outside search resources. Using any part of the site means that you agree to these conditions, including the limits on acceptable use, warranties, liability, and consumer-reporting purposes. If you do not accept every term, do not browse, search, or otherwise use the service. Public records can change, and nothing presented here replaces confirmation from the Scott County agency, outside receiving jail, court, or other office that created the official record.

Scott County Recent Arrests is privately owned and has no affiliation with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other services regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site points visitors toward arrest, custody, and jail-record resources for Scott County, Illinois, but it is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of This Resource

This is a private reference site. It does not store official Scott County arrest or court files and cannot verify custody, release a person, post bond, change a record, file a request, or act for a public office. Scott County has no county jail, so a receiving facility outside the county may hold a booking record.

The site organizes links to government resources and may connect visitors with independent research tools. A link, description, or search result is not an endorsement or an official statement about any person.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is allowed only for lawful purposes that respect other people, the site, and the rights of third parties. You agree that you will not:

  • Use the service in violation of any law or legal order
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, harass, or harm anyone
  • Base employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content
  • Attempt access to accounts, servers, or data without authorization
  • Deploy bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
  • Interfere with site operation or another visitor’s access

No Consumer Reports

Scott County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and supplies no background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Advertising and search partners also do not provide screening services through this site. By using the service, you agree not to use its pages or results for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection, housing access, or lease decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance-premium decisions
  • Licensing, permits, or eligibility for government programs
  • Any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act

Independent Websites and Services

Links may lead to sheriff or police pages, outside jail rosters, booking resources, corrections systems, government portals, legal-aid material, news sources, advertisements, and third-party search services. Scott County Recent Arrests does not control their content, availability, accuracy, fees, or data practices. Review the destination’s terms and privacy policy before using it.


Service Provided As Is

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties. No promise is made concerning:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or current state of any information
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access to the site
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, harmful code, or security flaws
  • The scope or completeness of results returned by a partner

Custody entries, arrest records, charges, and court outcomes can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, a receiving jail, a court, or any government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Scott County Recent Arrests and those involved in operating it will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, outside links, partner results, or any other use of the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Scott County Recent Arrests, its operators, and content partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees that result from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another party’s rights.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless another owner is identified, the original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Scott County Recent Arrests or its content partners and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

These Terms of Use may be changed at any time. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting means that you accept the revised terms.


Suspension or Loss of Access

Access to some or all of the site may be restricted, suspended, or revoked at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. This right does not limit any other remedy available for misuse.


Illinois Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning the site or these terms must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Illinois.


If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds any provision invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the rest of these terms will remain in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable while preserving its purpose.
