NO FCRA USE. Cass County Criminal History is privately run and has no connection to a local, Missouri, or federal government agency. It and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site is a Cass County records reference, not a private-investigation business or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site operating independently from every public office. It neither stores official criminal files nor retrieves records, performs government checks, or files documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify official Cass County and Missouri sources, including the Sheriff's Office, the 17th Judicial Circuit, MSHP Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry, and to provide access to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Missouri, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass another person with information found here
- Apply site content to employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Access systems, accounts, or data without permission
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools
- Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from the site or a linked service may not be used to harass, intimidate, stalk, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Missouri registry information is published for safety awareness. It is not permission for vigilantism, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination, and the registry warns that using its data to facilitate a crime is illegal.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Cass County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. Neither the site nor an advertising partner offers a service intended to evaluate job applicants, renters, insurance eligibility, or creditworthiness. Site and linked-tool data may not be used to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Set insurance terms or assess credit
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A lawful check for a regulated purpose must be obtained from MSHP CJIS through its authorized official channel or from a compliant consumer reporting provider.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is informational and is not legal advice. General explanations of Cass County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, closed record, or expungement statute applies to a particular person. Consult a Missouri-licensed attorney for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All services and content are offered "as is," without a guarantee that:
- Reference details are always complete, accurate, or current
- Access will remain uninterrupted
- The website contains no error, defect, or security weakness
- An outside search result will be accurate or comprehensive
Charges, dispositions, closures, and expungement orders can change a record after publication. Gaps and stale details can occur. No content here is an official statement of the Cass County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, MSHP, or another government body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to public offices, court portals, Missouri agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. The destination is independently controlled. Cass County Criminal History is not responsible for its availability, prices, privacy practices, accuracy, or content. Review the destination's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Cass County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, modification, redistribution, or creation of derivative material requires prior written permission.

To the greatest extent allowed by law, the operator is not liable for loss or damage arising from website use, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold the operator harmless against claims, actions, demands, fees, and costs resulting from that user's conduct or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Missouri law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610 RSMo, and §43.527 RSMo where state criminal-history dissemination is relevant. A dispute concerning website use must be filed in a court located in Missouri.
12. Changes to These Terms
The operator may revise these conditions. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
