Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on this website. Anyone who does not agree to them must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation and is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is limited to directing visitors toward LaRue County and Kentucky record resources.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site is independent of every government office. It stores no official criminal records and cannot retrieve records, perform official checks, or file documents for a user.

Its pages identify the LaRue County sheriff, criminal courts, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, KSP Sex Offender Registry, and third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, a visitor agrees not to:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information found here or through a linked service to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. KRS 17.580 specifically bars using Kentucky registry information to harass or intimidate a registrant or the registrant's family and provides a Class B misdemeanor penalty. Registry data is for public awareness, not vigilante action or unlawful employment or housing decisions.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency and creates no background check, credit report, or consumer report. Its advertising partners likewise do not provide linked services designed for applicant, tenant, insurance, or credit screening. Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used 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 regulated screening purpose requires an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or official process, not information from this website.

5. No Legal Advice

General descriptions of LaRue County records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Kentucky attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to particular facts.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a guarantee 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, sealed, or expunged after material is published. Gaps and delays are unavoidable, and no page should be treated as an official statement from a sheriff, court, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links to sheriff pages, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid groups, and outside search companies lead to services beyond this website's control. Their availability, prices, content, and data practices remain their responsibility. Review their terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

LaRue County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability is disclaimed for damages arising from website use, including reliance on information from a page or linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to indemnify and hold the website harmless from claims, actions, and demands caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs requests to public agencies but does not convert this private site into a public agency. Any dispute about use of this website must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

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

15. Questions

Questions concerning these terms may be submitted through the Contact page.
