Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of Laurel County Criminal History. Reading a page, browsing the site, or submitting a query means that you accept all terms below. If you disagree with them, do not continue to use the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately owned site has no connection to a local, Kentucky, or federal government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for any other Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. Laurel County and Kentucky record resources are provided for general reference. We are neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve files, perform official checks, or submit documents for users.

Its role is to identify the Laurel County Sheriff, the District and Circuit Court clerk, Kentucky State Police, the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry, and other custodians. Some pages also connect readers to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Use site content for harassment, stalking, intimidation, or threats
  • Violate any local, Kentucky, or federal law
  • Use the content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or data
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool against the pages
  • Interfere with site operation or another person's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data is provided for public safety, not punishment or vigilante conduct. KSP warns that harassment can violate KRS 525.070 or KRS 525.080 and may result in criminal penalties, including up to 90 days in county jail for the stated offense.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. The site and its advertising partners do not provide services designed to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risks, or credit. You agree not to use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A check for a regulated purpose must come through Kentucky State Police or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA and the law applicable to that use.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Laurel County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to one case. Consult a licensed Kentucky attorney for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

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

  • Partner search results are complete or correct
  • Information is always current, complete, or accurate
  • The site will operate without interruption
  • Every page is free from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses

Criminal files can change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. No site content is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to public offices, court portals, Kentucky agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review the destination's own terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Laurel County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information from a page or linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, action, or demand caused by your site use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. A dispute connected to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Kentucky. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, applies to public-agency records and does not make this private site a government custodian.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be directed through the Contact page.
