Madison County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. Neither the pages nor their ad partners provide FCRA-covered services.
What This Service Is
This is a private reference service. It stores no official jail or court database and cannot confirm custody, release a person, change a case, or file a government record. It points visitors toward Madison County and Illinois record custodians and may connect them with outside research tools.
Government pages and public records change. A booking is an accusation or detention event, and the presumption of innocence remains in place until a court determines the case.
Acceptable Use
- Follow all applicable laws while using the pages.
- Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or intimidate another person.
- Do not use the material to make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, or similar eligibility decisions.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access or interfere with the service.
- Do not run bots, scrapers, or bulk extraction tools against the pages.
- Do not disrupt availability or misuse a third-party search tool.
FCRA Restriction
The service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and its advertising or search partners do not change that status. Users agree not to use any information from these pages for a purpose covered by the FCRA.
- Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions.
- Tenant or housing screening.
- Creditworthiness, insurance pricing, or similar financial decisions.
- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
- Any other use restricted by FCRA rules.
Outside Links and Tools
Links may lead to the Madison County Sheriff, the county jail roster, the Circuit Clerk court portal, corrections pages, legal resources, federal locators, news outlets, and outside search services. Those destinations control their own content, uptime, pricing, privacy practices, and terms. A link is provided as a reference and is not an endorsement of a result.
Information Provided As Is
All material is supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted access, the absence of errors or security defects, or the thoroughness of a partner result. Custody status and public records can change without notice. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff’s office, jail, court, corrections department, or other government agency.
Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Madison County Busted Mugshots and its operators will not be liable for loss or damage arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the pages, links, data, or third-party tools.
Indemnification
Users agree to defend and hold harmless the service, its operators, and its content partners from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from the user’s conduct, misuse of the pages, violation of these terms, or violation of another person’s rights.
Ownership of Content
Text, layout, graphics, logos, and code belong to Madison County Busted Mugshots or the relevant content partner. Copying, distributing, changing, selling, or republishing them requires written permission, except for ordinary personal viewing and lawful quotation.
Changes to the Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version applies when posted. Continued use after a change means the updated terms are accepted.
Access May Be Limited
Access may be restricted, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. This includes access limits for abuse, automated extraction, security concerns, or legal requirements.
Illinois Law and Severability
These terms are governed by Illinois law. Disputes should be filed in a court located within Illinois unless applicable law requires another venue. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains effective and the affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed.
Questions About These Terms
Questions may be sent through Get in Touch. Government record questions should go to the originating sheriff, jail, police department, court, or corrections agency.
