Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Kentucky Recent Arrests, its pages, and links to outside search tools. By browsing the reference or using a search box, you accept the rules below; if you disagree, stop using the site. The terms explain the site's private role, limits on use, the status of outside links, and the conditions that apply to any information shown. A search result or public-record link is not an agency decision or a promise that the information will remain current. Use the source office for a record question.

Kentucky Recent Arrests is privately operated and is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offer services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. This reference helps readers locate arrest records and booking-photo resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

Nature of This Service

This is a private reference service with no tie to a Kentucky government office. We do not store official arrest records, confirm custody, release anyone, or file court papers.

The pages describe where arrest and booking-photo information may be held across Kentucky, then route readers to the relevant county, court, or state source. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870–61.884, governs access to public records held by public agencies. It does not make this private site a public-record custodian. Some search functions are run by outside providers under their own terms.

Acceptable Use

Use the site lawfully and respect the rights and safety of others. You agree that you will not:

  • use the site to break a law or infringe another person’s rights;
  • stalk, threaten, or harass anyone with information found here;
  • use site content for a decision barred by the FCRA;
  • try to enter systems or accounts without authorization;
  • run bots or scrapers to copy site material; or
  • interfere with the service or another reader’s access.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited

Kentucky Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. By using these pages, you agree not to use the information for any purpose covered by the FCRA, including:

  • employment or hiring decisions;
  • tenant or housing screening;
  • creditworthiness or insurance decisions;
  • licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
  • any other use regulated by the FCRA.

External Sites and Tools

Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, county sites, legal resources, federal locators, newsrooms, or search services. A link is a route for research, not an endorsement. We do not control an outside service’s information, privacy practices, fees, or availability. Review its own terms before sharing information or relying on a result.

Information Provided As Is

Pages and tools are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty about:

  • the accuracy, completeness, or freshness of information;
  • continuous or uninterrupted access;
  • freedom from errors, defects, or security problems; or
  • the scope or quality of a partner’s search results.

Custody records and public pages can change without notice. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a sheriff, jail, court, or Kentucky agency. Confirm important details with the record’s source.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Kentucky Recent Arrests and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from access to or use of the site or a linked service.

Your Responsibility

You agree to defend and hold harmless the site and its operators from claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs caused by your use of the pages, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

Ownership of Site Material

Unless a source states otherwise, the site’s text, graphics, logo, and code belong to Kentucky Recent Arrests or its content partners. Do not copy, publish, distribute, or alter them without written permission. Public-agency records linked from here remain subject to the rights and rules that apply to their source.

Updates to These Terms

We may revise these terms as the site changes. A new version takes effect when posted here. Continued use after posting means you accept the revised terms.

Access May End

We may limit or end access to any part of the site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason.

Kentucky Law Applies

Kentucky law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in Kentucky that has authority to hear it.

If One Term Fails

If a court finds a term invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
