Terms & Conditions

What the Service Provides

This is a private reference service. It does not store official rosters, release people, confirm custody, file court papers, or act for the Sheriff’s Office. It points readers toward the county roster, city police records paths, court records, corrections systems, and other public sources.

Public-record material can change after a page is read. The Illinois FOIA response law and other statutes belong to the responsible public body, not to these pages. Outside search tools and linked agencies have their own rules.

Acceptable Use

Use the pages lawfully and respect the people described in public records.

• Do not use the service to break a law.
• Do not stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass anyone.
• Do not make prohibited consumer decisions from the information.
• Do not try to enter systems or accounts without authorization.
• Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated requests against the pages.
• Do not interfere with availability or another visitor’s use.

FCRA Boundary

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, or background-check services, and neither the site nor its ad partners supplies screening services. You agree not to use information from these pages for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:

• Decisions to hire, retain, or dismiss a worker.
• Tenant or housing screening.
• Credit decisions or insurance pricing.
• Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government program.
• Any other use governed by the FCRA.

Outside Links and Tools

Links may lead to jail rosters, police records pages, courts, booking sources, sheriff or corrections offices, legal-aid resources, federal locators, and outside search services. Sangamon County Busted Mugshots does not control their content, availability, pricing, security, or data handling. Review the destination’s terms before using it.

No Promise of Results

Everything is provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about:

• Accuracy, completeness, or current status.
• Continuous access or uninterrupted operation.
• Freedom from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
• The breadth or reliability of a partner’s search results.

Custody records and public court information change. Nothing here is an official statement from a Sheriff’s Office, police department, corrections agency, or court.

Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Sangamon County Busted Mugshots and the people who operate it are not liable for loss or damage arising from access to, inability to access, or reliance on these pages, linked sources, or search tools.

Your Indemnity Promise

You agree to protect and hold harmless the site operators and their partners from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees that arise from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your unlawful conduct.

Ownership of Materials

Unless a source is identified as belonging to another party, the text, graphics, logo treatment, and code on these pages belong to Sangamon County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. Do not copy, distribute, alter, or republish protected material without written permission or a clear legal right.

Updates to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted. Continued use after posting means the updated terms apply.

Suspension or Denial of Access

Access may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. That includes suspected abuse, automated traffic, security concerns, or a breach of these rules.

Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of Illinois, without treating its conflict-of-law rules as controlling. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in Illinois, unless applicable law requires another forum.

Severability

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. The affected language will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it lawful.

Questions About Use

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contacts page. The responsible government office, not this service, must answer questions about custody, charges, records, or release.
