Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern use of Kendall County Busted Mugshots, a privately operated reference resource about Kendall County booking, arrest, custody, court, and records-request sources. By using the pages, a visitor accepts these terms to the extent permitted by law. Official agencies and linked providers keep control of their own records and rules.

This is not a government agency, sheriff’s office, jail, court, police department, or corrections department. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information and search tools may not be used for any FCRA-covered purpose.


Private Reference Resource

Kendall County Busted Mugshots has no government affiliation and hosts no booking-photo gallery or official record database. The pages link to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, Kendall County Jail / Public Safety Center, municipal police departments, the Circuit Clerk, Illinois Department of Corrections, federal locators, local news, and third-party providers. A link does not transfer control of the linked record to this service.

An arrest or booking image is an accusation record. It is not a judgment, and every person is presumed innocent unless and until a court determines otherwise. Visitors must use the originating agency and court for current status and case results.


Acceptable Use

Visitors may read, link to, and print reasonable portions of the public reference material for lawful, personal, journalistic, educational, or records-navigation purposes. A visitor may not interfere with the service, submit malicious code, impersonate an agency, misrepresent a result, harvest personal data, or use the pages to threaten, harass, stalk, confront, or endanger another person.

  • Do not present a booking allegation as a conviction.
  • Do not use a wanted notice to locate or confront a person yourself.
  • Do not scrape or republish the pages as a mugshot gallery.
  • Do not bypass access controls or overload a linked provider.
  • Do not use partner tools in a way that violates the partner’s terms.

FCRA and Other Prohibited Uses

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Information from these pages, linked records, rosters, photos, or search tools may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, hiring, housing, background-check, or any other FCRA-covered purpose. A visitor is responsible for selecting a lawful purpose and obtaining confirmation from the proper record custodian.

The material also should not be used to make a safety or legal conclusion without checking the current agency and court record. A secondary page can be incomplete, wrong, stale, or disconnected from the final disposition.


Outbound Links and Partners

Outbound links lead to government pages, police departments, courts, news outlets, search providers, and other services. Kendall County Busted Mugshots does not control their availability, security, pricing, privacy practices, record accuracy, or content. Inclusion is provided for access or context and is not an endorsement.

Some search tools may pay a referral fee. A partner’s fee does not buy a government record, guarantee a result, or change a person’s status. Visitors should review the terms of any external provider before submitting information or paying a charge.


No Warranty

The pages and any linked material are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about completeness, accuracy, currentness, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted access. A phone number, fee, agency hour, URL, photo, court field, or release status may change.

Visitors must verify important information with the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, the relevant police department, the Circuit Clerk, Illinois Department of Corrections, or another originating office. Nothing here is legal advice.


Liability and Indemnification

To the maximum extent allowed by law, the operator and its owners, contributors, service providers, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses arising from access to or use of the pages, a linked source, a search provider, or a record. This includes loss caused by an outdated entry, mistaken identity, missing photo, service interruption, or a decision made from unverified material.

A visitor agrees to defend and indemnify the operator and its service providers from claims, costs, damages, and expenses arising from the visitor’s misuse of the pages, violation of these terms, unlawful conduct, or infringement of another person’s rights.


Intellectual Property

The site name, original writing, layout, logo, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to the operator unless a source is identified as belonging to another party. Government marks, agency names, news content, screenshots, and linked provider material remain with their respective owners. A visitor may not copy the service into a competing gallery, remove attribution, or suggest that the operator owns an external record.


Changes and Access

These terms may be revised when the service or law changes. The updated version becomes effective when posted unless a different date is stated. Access may be limited, suspended, or revoked for abuse, security concerns, legal reasons, or a breach of these terms. The operator may also change, pause, or discontinue a feature without guaranteeing advance notice.


Illinois Law and Severability

Illinois law governs these terms, without applying a conflict-of-law rule that would require another jurisdiction’s law. A claim must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction unless applicable law requires another forum. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be narrowed or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
