Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Platte County Criminal History. Continued use means that you accept them. If you disagree with any condition, do not continue using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Platte County Criminal History is private and has no affiliation with a local, Missouri, or federal agency. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency. The website and its advertising partners do not provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an authorized background check, submit a filing, or store a government criminal-history file.

Its role is limited to identifying sources such as the Platte County Sheriff, Sixth Judicial Circuit, Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry, along with optional outside search tools. Official access remains subject to the Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, court access rules, and the repository dissemination provisions in RSMo sections 43.500 and 43.530.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use the service in violation of federal, Missouri, or local law
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, or intimidate a person with information found here
  • Apply website content to an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Probe or enter systems without authorization
  • Deploy scrapers, bots, or similar automated collection tools
  • Interfere with access, performance, or another visitor's use

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No visitor may use this website or a linked tool to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. Missouri Sex Offender Registry information requires particular care. It exists for public awareness, not retaliation or vigilantism, and the registry warns that using its information to facilitate a crime is illegal.

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 official background checks. Content from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Evaluate employment or continued employment
  • Assess a rental or other housing application
  • Set insurance eligibility or pricing
  • Make a credit decision
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally permitted official check should be obtained from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

General information about Platte County records is not legal advice. Only a licensed Missouri attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, judgment, or expungement law affects a particular set of facts.

6. No Warranties

All services and content are provided "as is." No warranty promises that:

  • A page is complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will remain uninterrupted
  • The website will contain no bug, error, or security flaw
  • An outside provider's result will be complete or correctly matched

Charges, dispositions, custody entries, closures, and expungements can alter government records. A website copy may lag behind those changes, and nothing published here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to government portals, legal resources, and outside search services that we do not control. Their availability, charges, data handling, accuracy, and content are their responsibility. Read the destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Platte County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to reproduce, distribute, modify, or make derivative use of that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, legal fees, and related costs caused by your use of the website or violation of these conditions.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. A dispute connected to use of this website must be brought in a court located in Missouri, subject to applicable jurisdiction and venue rules.

12. Changes to These Terms

Revised terms become effective when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect, and the affected text is limited only as much as necessary.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
