Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on Kenosha County Criminal History. Using the website means accepting all terms below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using it.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to route visitors to Kenosha County and Wisconsin record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It cannot store or issue official criminal records, perform an official check, or file documents for a user.

Its role is to identify the Kenosha County Sheriff, Wisconsin Circuit Court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Program, and other official custodians. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Use the service in violation of federal, Wisconsin, or local law
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate a person with information found here
  • Use site content for an FCRA-regulated credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Deploy bots, scraping software, or other automated collection tools
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this site or a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Program data is published for safety and notification under Wis. Stat. §§ 301.45 and 301.46. It does not authorize confrontation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination, and misuse can carry serious consequences.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not create a credit report, background report, or consumer report. Its content and any linked tool may not be used 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

A legally compliant report for a regulated purpose must come from the proper official process or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider, not this website.

5. No Legal Advice

General information about Kenosha County records is not legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin lawyer can apply a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule to an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is" and without a guarantee 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

Charges, dispositions, custody status, sealing, and expungement can change a record. Gaps and delays are possible. No statement here is an official declaration by the Sheriff, a court, or a Wisconsin agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to the Sheriff, Wisconsin courts, state agencies, legal services, and outside search providers. Those destinations control their own availability, content, prices, privacy, and terms. Review their rules before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Kenosha County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, adapting, or distributing that material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for damage arising from use of the site, its content, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to indemnify and hold the operator harmless from claims, demands, actions, fees, and costs caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be filed in a court with jurisdiction in Wisconsin. The state's public-record framework includes Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31 through 19.39, while criminal-identification duties are addressed in Wis. Stat. § 165.83.

12. Changes to These Terms

The terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one term is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected clause will be narrowed only as needed.
