Terms of Use

What This Service Is

This is a private reference service. It stores no official Sheriff, jail, court, IDOC, BOP, or ICE records and cannot confirm custody, release someone, post bond, or file a request for a visitor. It explains the public sources that may hold a record and links to outside systems that set their own rules.

The home page describes Pike County’s Weekly Arrests report, Records / FOIA route, court path, and custody alternatives. Search tools and outbound links may be supplied by third parties. Their results are not adopted as official statements.

Acceptable Use

Use the pages only for lawful, respectful record navigation. You agree:

• To follow all applicable laws and court orders.
• Not to stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate another person.
• Not to use the material for an FCRA-covered eligibility decision, including credit, insurance, employment, or housing.
• Not to bypass access controls or attempt unauthorized entry into a system.
• Not to run bots, scrapers, or automated requests that burden the service or a linked provider.
• Not to disrupt the pages or interfere with another visitor’s use.

Not a Consumer Report

Pike County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not sell background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither it nor its ad partners offers screening services. You agree not to use any page, result, or linked tool for an FCRA-covered purpose.

• Do not use it to decide whether to hire, fire, or retain a worker.
• Do not use it for tenant or housing screening.
• Do not use it to judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums.
• Do not use it for a license, permit, or government-program eligibility decision.
• Do not use it for another purpose governed by FCRA rules.

Links and Providers

The pages link to the Pike County Sheriff, jail, court and Judici, Illinois corrections, federal locators, legal resources, local news, and outside search tools. Pike County Busted Mugshots does not control those destinations, their content, their privacy practices, their data, or their uptime. A link is provided for navigation and is not an endorsement or guarantee.

Information Provided As Is

All pages and results are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about:

• Accuracy, completeness, or current status.
• Continuous access or uninterrupted operation.
• The absence of errors, defects, or security weaknesses.
• The completeness of a partner’s search results.

Custody records and public information change. Nothing on these pages is an official statement from a sheriff, jail, court, corrections agency, or government office.

Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Pike County Busted Mugshots and the people who operate it are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, inability to access, or reliance on these pages, linked services, search results, or public records.

Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless Pike County Busted Mugshots, its operators, and its content partners from claims, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of another person’s rights.

Ownership of Materials

Text, layout, graphics, logos, code, and other original material belong to Pike County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. No one may copy, distribute, adapt, or modify those materials without written permission, except where law permits it. Government and third-party material remains subject to the owner’s rights and terms.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page. Continued use after publication means the revised terms are accepted.

Access May End

Access to all or part of the service may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. This includes access restricted to protect the pages, visitors, providers, or lawful operations.

Illinois Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without applying conflict-of-law rules that would select another jurisdiction. A dispute must be filed in a court located in Illinois unless applicable law requires a different forum.

Nothing here changes the public-record rules in 5 ILCS 140 or the correction rules in 815 ILCS 505/2QQQ. Those statutes apply to the proper records and parties, not as a promise about a private reference page.

Severability

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

Questions

Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact Us page. Questions about custody, a booking record, a court result, or a correction must go to the originating agency or court.
