NO FCRA USE. Scott County Criminal History is a privately operated reference website with no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. It is neither a private investigation service nor a consumer reporting agency. The website and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to help visitors locate criminal-record resources for Scott County and Kentucky.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent, private reference service. It cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official background check, submit a filing, or act for any government office. Official records are not stored here.
The website identifies the Scott County courts and law-enforcement offices, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry as appropriate source channels. It may also connect visitors with outside search services. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs covered public agencies; it does not make this private website a public custodian.
2. Rules for Using This Site
A visitor agrees not to:
- Interfere with website performance or prevent someone else from using it
- Use any content to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Violate a federal, Kentucky, or local law through use of the website
- Make a credit, employment, tenant, housing, insurance, or lending decision from website content
- Run a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Attempt unauthorized access to the website or its systems
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Visitors may not use information found here or through a linked service to intimidate, discriminate against, threaten, stalk, or harass anyone. Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data is published under KRS Chapter 17 for safety awareness, not retaliation or vigilante conduct. KSP warns that harassment may violate KRS 525.070 or KRS 525.080 and result in criminal penalties. The same ban applies to discriminatory misuse, including employment blacklisting or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Scott County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither the website nor its advertising partners creates a consumer report, credit report, or official background check. Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to:
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Assess creditworthiness or set an insurance premium
- Screen a renter, tenant, or housing applicant
- Make a hiring, employment, or termination decision
- Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA
When an official or legally compliant check is required, the requester must use the proper Kentucky State Police channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is not legal advice. It gives general information about criminal records in Scott County but cannot apply a warrant, charge, conviction, expungement rule, or other law to an individual matter. Case-specific advice should come from a Kentucky-licensed attorney.
6. No Warranties
The website and its content are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- The pages will always be available without interruption
- Partner search results will be accurate or complete
- Every statement will remain current, complete, and correct
- The website will contain no bug, error, or security weakness
Criminal records can change when a charge is filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Delays and gaps may occur. Nothing published here is an official statement of a Kentucky court, the Scott County Sheriff, Kentucky State Police, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
The website links to court portals, law-enforcement pages, Kentucky agencies, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. A visitor who follows a link enters a service we do not control. We are not responsible for that service's availability, charges, data practices, or content. Its own terms should be reviewed before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code on this website belong to Scott County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to make a derivative work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for a loss or damage arising from use of the website, including reliance on information found here or through a linked provider.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or legal proceeding caused by that visitor's use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of Scott County Criminal History must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access to the website may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
