NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a federal, Kentucky, or Magoffin County government office. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service designed for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is a criminal-record resource locator for Magoffin County, Kentucky. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.
1. The Website's Role
This is a private reference website with no government ties. It does not store official criminal records, obtain records for visitors, perform official background checks, or file requests and court papers.
Its content identifies the custodians of Magoffin County information, including the sheriff, the Office of Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. The pages may also connect visitors to outside research tools.
2. Acceptable Use Rules
By using the site, a visitor agrees not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
- Interfere with the site's operation or another person's access
- Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
- Stalk, harass, threaten, or target anyone with information found here
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable federal, Kentucky, or local law
3. No Harassment or Discrimination
Site or linked-tool information may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against a person. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Kentucky State Police publishes registry information under KRS Chapter 17 for public safety and warns that harassment can violate KRS 525.070 or KRS 525.080. Registry access never authorizes vigilante acts, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination.
4. No Consumer Reports
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Its advertising partners do not provide site features intended to screen applicants, assess rental applications, price insurance, or judge credit. A visitor must not use data from this website or a linked tool to:
- Make another decision regulated by the FCRA
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Set an insurance rate or evaluate creditworthiness
- Assess an applicant for housing
- Make a hiring or firing decision
A check needed for a regulated purpose must come through an authorized official channel or an FCRA-compliant screening provider, not this site.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Magoffin County charge, conviction, warrant, or Kentucky expungement law affects a particular situation. A person needing that analysis should consult a Kentucky-licensed attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are provided "as is." No warranty is made that:
- An outside search provider's results will be complete or correct
- The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
- The service will remain available without interruption
- Information is accurate, complete, and current at all times
Criminal records change as charges are filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Updates may lag, and omissions may occur. Site content is not an official statement of a Kentucky court, the Magoffin County Sheriff, or any other government agency.
7. Outside Services and Links
Links lead to court resources, the Magoffin County Sheriff, Kentucky agencies, legal-aid groups, and outside search services. Following one leaves this website for a service outside its control. This site is not responsible for an outside provider's content, availability, fees, or data practices. Review that provider's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code are owned by Magoffin County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.
9. Liability Limits
To the broadest extent allowed by law, the site is not liable for damage arising from its use, including action taken in reliance on content found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold the site harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by that visitor's use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Kentucky Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms, and a dispute tied 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, governs covered public-agency records, not records of this private website. KRS Chapter 17 governs covered Kentucky criminal-history dissemination and registry matters; neither law makes this site a government custodian.
12. Changes to the Terms
The terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new version is posted on this page.
13. Ending or Limiting Access
Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected text will be adjusted only to the degree needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
