NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated resource with no local, state, or federal government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to help readers locate official criminal-record channels in Butler County and Iowa. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently of every government office. It does not store official records, retrieve criminal files, perform official checks, or submit forms for visitors.
The site identifies custodians of Butler County records, including the sheriff, Iowa District Court, the Iowa Department of Public Safety's Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect readers with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools on the pages
- Threaten, stalk, or harass any person with information found here
- Interfere with site speed, availability, or another person's access
- Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
- Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate federal, Iowa, or local law through use of the site
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information from this site or a linked service may be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. Iowa law limits misuse of Iowa Sex Offender Registry data and may impose penalties for action taken against a listed person. Registry information supports public safety awareness. It does not authorize vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners do not turn this site into a screening service. You may not use site or linked-tool data to:
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Evaluate a renter or housing application
- Make a hiring or firing decision
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A lawful regulated check must come through an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or the official Iowa channel when that channel applies.
5. No Legal Advice
General information about Butler County records is not legal advice. Only a licensed Iowa attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to a particular set of facts.
6. No Warranties
All content and features are provided "as is." No guarantee is made that:
- A partner's search result will be complete or correctly matched
- The site will always remain available without interruption
- Every page will be free from bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
- Information will be complete, current, or accurate at all times
Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, made confidential, or expunged. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Butler County sheriff, a court, Iowa DCI, or any other agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government offices, court searches, legal resources, and outside services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their availability, content, data practices, prices, or terms. Review an outside site's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, code, logos, and graphics belong to Butler County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.
