NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with a local, Kentucky, or federal government office. It and its advertising partners do not provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) decision. Mercer County criminal-record resources are presented for general reference. We are neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not store official criminal records, obtain records for visitors, conduct official checks, or submit public filings.
Its content directs readers to Mercer County police and sheriff offices, the Mercer courts, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside search tools that may assist general research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- Use any content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
- Stalk, intimidate, threaten, or harass a person
- Violate federal, Kentucky, or local law
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated access tools
- Attempt unauthorized entry into a system or account
- Disrupt performance or prevent another visitor from using the website
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked service may not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Kentucky Sex Offender Registry information requires special care: it is published for safety and awareness, not confrontation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory treatment. Misuse of registry data against a listed person can carry criminal penalties.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not prepare background checks, credit reports, or other consumer reports. Our advertising partners do not offer their tools here for screening applicants, evaluating rentals, setting insurance rates, or judging credit. You must not use website or linked-tool data to:
- Make a lending or credit decision
- Evaluate a current or prospective worker
- Assess a renter or housing applicant
- Set insurance terms or decide eligibility for a license, permit, or benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A lawful check for a regulated purpose must come through the proper official channel or an FCRA-compliant provider, not this website.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Mercer County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or Kentucky expungement rule affects a particular person. A licensed Kentucky attorney should address those questions.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- An outside search result is complete or correct
- Every item of content is current, accurate, or complete
- The website will always operate without interruption
- The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and expungements can change a criminal record. Delays and gaps are possible. Only the office that holds a record can make an official statement about its current content.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to Mercer offices, Kentucky agencies, court portals, legal-aid groups, and outside search services. We do not control a destination’s content, availability, prices, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review the destination’s own terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Mercer County Criminal History or its content partners own the website’s text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, changing, distributing, or creating derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from website use, including reliance on content obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against a claim, action, or demand caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute related to website use must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be suspended or ended at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
