Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Cass County Busted Mugshots, a privately operated reference for official Illinois arrest, custody, court, archive, and records-request sources. By using the pages, a visitor accepts these terms. Government offices, courts, news publishers, search partners, and other linked services have their own rules.

Private Reference, No Government Affiliation

Cass County Busted Mugshots is not a government agency and is not affiliated with the Cass County Sheriff’s Department or Sheriff Devron Ohrn, any municipal police department, a jail, the Illinois Department of Corrections, a court, or another corrections department. The pages do not hold people, release people, post bond, issue warrants, create court dispositions, or maintain an official booking database. Historical Morgan County Jail references do not change that boundary.

Information can be incomplete, stale, unavailable, or changed by the originating office. Verify a custody answer, charge, photograph, fee, address, or case result with the office that created or holds the record.


Permitted and Prohibited Use

Visitors may read the pages, follow links, use public-record explanations for lawful personal or legal purposes, and submit a focused question through the available contact route. Visitors must not misuse the pages or a linked tool.

  • Do not harass, threaten, impersonate, stalk, or confront a person named in an arrest or wanted record.
  • Do not attempt to bypass access controls, disrupt the service, scrape protected systems, or introduce malicious code.
  • Do not copy, rehost, assemble, or publish a gallery of booking photographs from these pages or linked sources.
  • Do not treat an accusation, booking, or wanted notice as proof of guilt.
  • Do not use information from the service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-covered purpose.

Cass County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information supplied here is not intended for any FCRA-regulated decision.


External Links and Tools

The pages link to government offices, Judici, IDOC, federal locators, archives, local news, and outside search tools. Those services are operated by others. A link is provided for reference and does not mean that the operator endorses the destination, guarantees its accuracy, or controls its availability, privacy rules, fees, or results.

Search boxes may send a query to a third-party provider. A provider may offer a paid service and may have separate terms. Review that provider’s terms before entering information or paying a fee.


No Warranties

The pages and their linked information are supplied on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent allowed by law, no warranty is made about accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. Public agencies and publishers can change a page without notice.

The service does not give legal advice, promise a record response, confirm custody, or guarantee that a photograph exists or can be released. A visitor should consult the appropriate agency, court, attorney, or records professional for a legal question.


Liability Limit

To the extent permitted by law, Cass County Busted Mugshots and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost data, lost profits, service interruption, or a decision made from information on the pages. This includes harm connected with an external link, search provider, government record, news report, stale copy, or inability to access a source.

If a direct-liability limit is required, the maximum aggregate liability will be limited to the amount paid by the visitor for access to the service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or ten dollars if no payment was made.


Your Indemnification Promise

To the extent allowed by law, a visitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Cass County Busted Mugshots and its operators from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from the visitor’s misuse of the pages, violation of these terms, unlawful conduct, or infringement of another person’s rights.


Ownership and Permission

The page design, original writing, graphics, logo, code, and other material supplied by Cass County Busted Mugshots belong to the operator or its content partners unless a different owner is identified. No copying, distribution, public display, sale, modification, or commercial reuse is permitted without written permission, except for ordinary personal viewing and lawful quotation with attribution.

Government and news links remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing here transfers rights in an outside record, photograph, trademark, or publication.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when posted, and continued use after posting means the visitor accepts the updated language. A change may address a new feature, linked service, legal rule, or operating practice.


Access May Be Limited

Access may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. This can include suspected abuse, security concerns, legal demands, service changes, or a need to protect the pages and their users. A restriction does not create a right to access a government record.


Illinois Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without applying a conflict-of-law rule that would select another jurisdiction. A dispute must be filed in a court located within Illinois, unless applicable law requires a different forum.


Severability and Questions

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The invalid part will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable while preserving its purpose.
