NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. The resource points readers to criminal-record sources in Boone County and West Virginia. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of every government office. We do not store or retrieve official records, perform official background checks, or submit filings for a user.
Its content identifies Boone County custodians such as Sheriff Law Enforcement, the Magistrate and Circuit Courts, the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, and the West Virginia Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect users with third-party research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Use the site in violation of federal, state, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Use site content for lending, insurance, employment, or housing decisions
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated access tools
- Disrupt performance or prevent another visitor from using the site
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct may be criminal. West Virginia law limits misuse of West Virginia Sex Offender Registry information, which is released for public safety awareness. It is not a basis for vigilantism, prohibited discrimination, or blacklisting a listed person.
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 background checks. Our advertising partners do not provide an FCRA screening service through this site. Data here or from a linked tool must not be used to:
- Make a decision about creditworthiness or insurance premiums
- Evaluate employment or continued employment
- Screen a renter or housing applicant
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government program
- Serve any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
A check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from a compliant provider or the official channel authorized for that purpose, not this website. West Virginia's official repository is the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General Boone County record information cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement law applies to a specific matter. Seek a licensed West Virginia attorney for that advice.
6. No Warranties
All content is offered "as is." We make no guarantee that:
- A partner's search result is complete or correct
- Information is always current, complete, and accurate
- The service will operate without interruption
- Every page is free of defects, errors, or security weaknesses
Charges, dismissals, corrections, and expungement orders can change a record. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. No content here is an official statement by a Boone County court, sheriff, or other government agency. West Virginia FOIA, W. Va. Code §29B-1-1 et seq., governs access to covered public-agency records. Court-record systems remain subject to judiciary rules and W. Va. Code §51-1-21, while public registry dissemination is governed by W. Va. Code §15-12-5. Those laws do not make restricted repository information public.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-resource, and outside search websites. We do not control an external site's availability, price, data practices, or content and are not responsible for them. Review the destination's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Boone County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code presented here. Written permission is required to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute tied to site use must be filed in a court located in West Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A new version becomes effective when posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected language will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
