NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Kentucky, or federal government agency. This site and its advertising partners do not offer products for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is a guide to Bourbon County, Kentucky criminal-record resources; it is neither a private-investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently of government. It does not store official records, retrieve records, perform official background checks, or submit filings for visitors.
Its purpose is to direct readers to Bourbon County and Kentucky custodians, including the Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office, Bourbon Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry, and to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of access, you must not:
- Use bots, scraping software, or other automated access tools on these pages
- Use site information to threaten, stalk, or harass another person
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any part of our systems
- Use the site in violation of federal, Kentucky, or local law
- Rely on this content for employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Interfere with site performance or prevent others from accessing it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use material found here or through a linked tool to intimidate, stalk, harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone; such conduct may also violate the law. Kentucky particularly restricts misuse of Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry information under KRS 17.580. Registry information supports public-safety awareness and never authorizes vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, or retaliation against a registrant.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertisers likewise do not provide site services designed to evaluate applicants, renters, creditworthiness, or insurance risk. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set an insurance premium or evaluate creditworthiness
- Make an employment or termination decision
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Evaluate a housing or rental applicant
- Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA
A check needed for a regulated purpose must be obtained through an appropriate official process, such as an authorized Kentucky State Police channel, or from a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The site provides general information, not legal advice. Only a Kentucky-licensed attorney can advise how a Bourbon County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement provision affects a specific situation.
6. No Warranties
All site material and services are offered "as is," without a guarantee that:
- A partner search result will be complete or correct
- The website will remain continuously available
- Every page is free from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities
- Published information is always accurate, complete, and current
Charges may be added, dismissed, or resolved, and records can later be expunged or restricted. Because those changes create unavoidable gaps or delays, site content is never an official representation by the Bourbon Circuit Court Clerk, Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office, Kentucky State Police, or another agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government offices, Kentucky court portals, legal-aid organizations, and commercial search providers that we do not operate. We are not responsible for an outside site’s accuracy, availability, fees, or data practices. Review that provider’s terms before using its service.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Bourbon County Criminal History or its content partners. Written authorization is required before copying, adapting, distributing, or creating derivative material from that content.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from site use, including reliance on information obtained here or through an external service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your site use or violation of these terms, including associated legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms, and any dispute arising from site use must be brought in a court located in Kentucky. Kentucky public-record access is addressed by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870-.884, while KRS 17.150-.152 governs aspects of criminal-history collection and dissemination; those statutes do not convert this private site into a public agency or official repository.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
