Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of Marion County Recent Arrests. By browsing or using any feature, you agree to follow these terms. If you do not accept every condition, please stop using the site.

Marion County Recent Arrests is privately owned and is not connected with any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. The site helps visitors locate Marion County, Illinois jail and arrest-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Role of the Website

This private reference site has no authority over Marion County Jail, the Marion County Sheriff, Salem Police, other police agencies, the Circuit Clerk, or the Illinois Department of Corrections. It stores no official records. It cannot confirm custody, change a record, release a person, accept a filing, or provide an official booking photo.

Links and explanatory content point visitors toward government offices, custody locators, court resources, and outside research tools. Those destinations operate independently and set their own access rules.


Acceptable Use

You must use the site lawfully and without harming another person, the service, or its systems. In particular, you agree that you will not:

  • break any local, state, or federal law while using the site;
  • stalk, threaten, harass, or intimidate anyone with information found here;
  • base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content;
  • seek access to accounts, servers, data, or features without authorization;
  • operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site; or
  • interfere with site availability or another visitor's use.

No Consumer Reports

Marion County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not prepare background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising and search partners do not provide screening services through this site. You agree not to use site content or linked search results for:

  • decisions to hire, retain, promote, discipline, or dismiss a worker;
  • tenant selection, housing approval, or lease decisions;
  • creditworthiness, lending terms, or insurance pricing;
  • licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government program; or
  • any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Independent Websites

Links may lead to sheriff and jail pages, booking resources, court portals, corrections systems, legal-aid materials, or outside search services. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, data handling, prices, or availability. A link is not an endorsement. Review the destination's current terms before using it.


Service Without Warranties

The site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, no express or implied warranty is made regarding:

  • the accuracy, completeness, or current status of information;
  • continuous or uninterrupted access;
  • the absence of errors, harmful code, or security weaknesses; or
  • the scope or quality of results supplied by a partner.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Marion County Sheriff, Marion County Jail, a court, or another government agency. Verify material with the office that originated it.


Liability Limits

To the broadest extent permitted by applicable law, Marion County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, and partners will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the site or any linked resource.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Marion County Recent Arrests and its owners, operators, and partners from claims, losses, obligations, damages, and reasonable legal fees that arise from your site use, misuse, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights.


Ownership of Materials

Unless another owner is identified, the site's original text, design elements, graphics, logos, and code belong to Marion County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, adapt, or commercially exploit those materials without prior written permission. Rights in government and third-party materials remain with their respective owners.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Service at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted. Continued use after publication of a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.


Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. That authority includes action taken to protect visitors, systems, legal rights, or site operations.


Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to rules that would select another jurisdiction's law. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Illinois.


If One Term Fails

If a court finds any provision invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as necessary. Every remaining provision will continue in effect.


Terms Questions

Questions about these conditions may be sent through the Get in Touch page. That contact route cannot confirm custody or obtain a government record.
