NO FCRA USE. Stone County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. Neither this website nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is a Missouri records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of Stone County and every government office. It does not store official records, retrieve a person's file, conduct an official check, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
Its content identifies record custodians and access channels, including the Stone County Sheriff, Missouri courts, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on these rules. A visitor may not:
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
- Violate a federal, Missouri, or local law through the site
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No person may use information from this website or a linked service to threaten, intimidate, stalk, harass, or discriminate. Missouri gives registry information a public-safety purpose. Using Missouri Sex Offender Registry data to facilitate a crime is unlawful, and nothing here authorizes vigilantism, blacklisting, trespass, or harm against a listed person or household.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Stone County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not produce credit reports, background reports, or any other consumer report. Its advertising partners are not offered here for regulated screening. Data from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Make any other decision controlled by the FCRA
- Decide access to a license, permit, or government benefit
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Evaluate a rental or other housing application
- Make a hiring, retention, or termination decision
A regulated check must come from a lawful official channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA. MACHS is Missouri's official criminal-history portal, but the requester remains responsible for following the law governing a proposed use.
5. No Legal Advice
The website provides general record-access information, not legal advice. It cannot apply a charge, conviction, warrant, or Missouri expungement rule to an individual matter. A licensed Missouri attorney must give advice about a specific case.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." No warranty promises that:
- An outside search result is complete or correctly matched
- A page has no bug, error, or security weakness
- The website will remain available without interruption
- All content is complete, accurate, and current
Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, closed, or expunged, so a record can change after a page is published. Site content is never an official statement by the sheriff, a court, MSHP, or another agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government portals, legal resources, and outside search providers. The destination controls its content, data handling, prices, and availability. Stone County Criminal History is not responsible for those services. Review their own terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Stone County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, alter, or create derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to defend and hold the site harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Missouri law governs these terms. Any legal dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Missouri.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A new version becomes effective 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.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision is adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
