Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern use of Boone County Busted Mugshots, a private reference resource for Boone County, Illinois records routes. By using the pages, a visitor accepts these terms. Anyone who does not accept them should stop using the pages and contact the responsible government office for an official record question.

Boone County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and has no affiliation with any government body, sheriff, jail, corrections department, court, IDOC, BOP, or ICE office. It is not a private investigation firm and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither it nor its advertising or search partners provides FCRA-covered services.


What These Pages Provide

The pages organize links and explanations concerning Boone County Adult Detention, VINELink, sheriff FOIA, the Boone Circuit Clerk, Illinois Courts, IDOC, federal locators, and local news. They do not store official records, confirm a person's custody or release, release anyone, file a court document, or act for a government agency.

Illinois arrest-report rules, including 5 ILCS 140/2.15, belong to the responsible agency. These terms do not alter that law or promise that a photograph or report will be released.


Acceptable Use

Use the pages lawfully and with respect for the people and agencies named in public records. A visitor must not:

  • Break a law or encourage another person to break one
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or confront a person
  • Use information for an FCRA-covered decision or screening purpose
  • Attempt unauthorized access to a page, account, server, or partner system
  • Run bots, scrapers, or bulk collection that burdens the service
  • Interfere with availability or another visitor's use

No Consumer Reporting Service

This resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create background reports, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. A visitor agrees not to use page content or a partner result for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant, housing, or accommodation screening
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Booking information is an allegation and can be incomplete or out of date. The required source for a permitted records question is the originating agency or court.


Outside Links and Tools

Outbound links may lead to county or city offices, jail-status services, court portals, state or federal locators, legal-aid resources, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Boone County Busted Mugshots does not control their content, privacy practices, charges, availability, or uptime. A link is not an endorsement. Read the destination's terms before submitting information.

Illinois' anti-pay-to-remove provision, 815 ILCS 505/2QQQ, does not make any third-party page an official source and does not create a promise about correction or removal here.


As-Is Information

All material is provided “as is” and “as available,” without a promise that it is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or fit for a particular purpose. No warranty is made that:

  • Every source link or record detail is correct or current
  • Pages will remain available without interruption
  • The service will be free of bugs, harmful code, or security weaknesses
  • A partner search will return every relevant record

Custody status and public records change. Nothing on these pages is an official statement from Boone County, Illinois, a sheriff, a jail, a police department, a court, or a corrections agency.


Liability Limit

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Boone County Busted Mugshots and its operators, contributors, and service providers are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from access to or use of the pages, a linked service, a search result, or reliance on a record.


Indemnification Duties

A visitor agrees to defend and hold harmless the operator and its contributors from claims, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from the visitor's use of the pages, misuse of a record, violation of these terms, or violation of another person's rights.


Ownership and Permission

The text, layout, graphics, logo, code, and other original material belong to Boone County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. No visitor may copy, redistribute, sell, modify, publish, or create a competing bulk collection without written permission, except for lawful personal reference and any rights that cannot be waived.


Changes to the Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page. Continued access after posting means the visitor accepts the revised terms.


Access May End

Access to all or part of the pages may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. This includes access restrictions for abuse, security concerns, legal demands, or service changes.


Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without using a conflict-of-law rule to select another state's law. Any dispute must be brought in a court located within Illinois unless applicable law requires another forum.


Severability of Terms

If a court finds a provision invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain effective. The affected provision will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
