This privately owned site is not connected with Smith County, a sheriff, jail, corrections department, court, or other government body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency; it only helps readers locate Smith County and Kansas custody and public-record resources.
Nature of the Site
This is a private reference site with no authority to act for a government office. It does not store official Smith County records and cannot confirm a person's custody, release someone, post bond, submit a court filing, or change an agency file.
Pages point to sources such as the Smith County Sheriff's Department, Smith County Jail, Kansas VINE, Kansas courts, KASPER, and outside research tools. The official jail page currently reports that Smith County has no online booking roster.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use the site responsibly and lawfully. In particular, you must not:
- Violate a federal, state, or local law
- Stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person
- Use site information for hiring, housing or tenant screening, lending, insurance, or another regulated eligibility decision
- Attempt unauthorized access to the site or another system
- Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools without written permission
- Interfere with security, performance, or another visitor's use
No Consumer Reports
Smith County Busted Mugshots 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 neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use any information obtained here for:
- Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
- Tenant selection, housing approval, or lease decisions
- Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance premiums
- Licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility
- Any other purpose governed by the FCRA
Third-Party Websites
Links may lead to sheriff or jail pages, government databases, legal resources, custody locators, news outlets, or outside search providers. A link does not mean that we endorse or control the destination. We are not responsible for its content, uptime, security, data handling, prices, or results. Review the destination's own terms before using it.
No Warranties
The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no warranty that:
- Information is accurate, complete, or current
- The site will always be available without interruption
- The service will be free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses
- A partner search will return every relevant or correct result
Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Smith County Sheriff's Department, a court, or another agency. The court record is the appropriate source for a case disposition, and a booking charge is not proof of guilt.
Liability Limits
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Smith County Busted Mugshots and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked service.
Your Duty to Indemnify
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its operators, and content partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, your misuse of information, or your violation of these terms.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise identified, the site's original text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Smith County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. You may not copy, republish, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from protected material without prior written permission.
Revisions to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted. Continued use after posting means that you accept the revised terms.
Suspension or Termination
We may restrict, suspend, or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
Kansas Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Kansas.
Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
