NO FCRA USE. This privately operated resource has no connection to a local, Kentucky, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other screening regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify official criminal-record channels in Knox County, Kentucky. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office. We do not store official criminal records and we cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file documents for anyone.
Reference pages point toward the Knox County Sheriff, Kentucky courts, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. Access to public-agency records may be governed by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, and KRS 17.150 governs dissemination of certain criminal intelligence and investigative information. Some pages also connect visitors with outside search tools for personal research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Kentucky law restricts misuse of Kentucky Sex Offender Registry information, and KRS 17.580 addresses prohibited conduct. Registry access supports lawful community awareness. It never authorizes retaliation, vigilantism, or discriminatory action.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
When a regulated purpose requires a check, use the official process directed by the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch or a properly compliant consumer reporting agency.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is not legal advice. General Knox County record procedures cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement statute applies to one matter. That question belongs with a lawyer licensed in Kentucky.
6. No Warranties
All material and functionality are offered "as is." No promise is made that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
A record may change when a charge is filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Updates can lag, so gaps cannot be eliminated. Treat no statement here as an official representation from a Kentucky court, sheriff, or agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
An outbound link may lead to a sheriff, court portal, Kentucky agency, legal organization, or independent search provider. The destination controls its own material, availability, prices, and data practices. Review its terms because responsibility for those services remains with its operator.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Knox County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, changing, distributing, or making a derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold the operator harmless from claims or demands caused by your use of the website or a breach of these terms, including reasonable related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Kentucky.
12. Changes to These Terms
These conditions may be revised. A replacement takes effect when the updated text is published on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without advance notice, when the operator chooses to do so.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected provision is narrowed only as far as needed for lawful enforcement.
