Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Scotts Bluff County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means that you agree to them. If you do not accept every condition, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. Scotts Bluff County Criminal History is privately owned and operated, with no affiliation to a local, Nebraska, or federal government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service designed for credit review, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other activity governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource points visitors toward criminal-record sources in Scotts Bluff County and Nebraska. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site that operates independently of every government office. It neither stores official criminal files nor files documents, retrieves records, or performs official background checks for users.

Its role is to identify the custodians of Scotts Bluff County records, including the Sheriff's records office, the County and District Courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. It may also link to outside tools that assist with research. Official government records remain subject to the Nebraska Public Records Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, their exemptions, and the rules of the agency or court that holds them.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar tools against the pages
  • Violate any applicable local, Nebraska, or federal law
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use site content for a lending, hiring, housing, or insurance decision
  • Seek unauthorized entry to any system or restricted area
  • Disrupt performance or interfere with access by other users

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this website or a linked service to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be a crime. Nebraska Sex Offender Registry information demands particular care. The Nebraska Sex Offender Registration Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§29-4001 et seq., governs registry disclosure and duties, and the registry warns against retaliation, threats, and harassment. Its public data supports safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, consumer reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners and this website do not provide services designed to assess applicants, rental requests, insurance risk, or credit. You agree that neither site data nor a linked tool will be used to:

  • Assess creditworthiness or determine an insurance premium
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government program
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

When a lawful purpose requires a formal check, use the Nebraska State Patrol's authorized process or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA and all other applicable law.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or set-aside applies to a particular situation in Scotts Bluff County. Consult a licensed Nebraska attorney for advice about individual rights and obligations.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is." We make no guarantee that:

  • A partner's search results will be accurate or complete
  • Information will always be complete, correct, or current
  • Pages will be free from defects, errors, or security weaknesses
  • The website will remain available without interruption

Criminal files change when charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, or resolved. In addition, Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523 excludes specified noncharge, diversion, dismissal, and acquittal information from the public Nebraska RAP view. Gaps and time lags can therefore occur. Nothing presented here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or state agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff and court pages, Nebraska agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search providers. Following one takes you to a service we do not control. We are not responsible for its content, availability, prices, privacy practices, or data handling. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Scotts Bluff County Criminal History or its content partners owns the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the website, including reliance on information found here or through an outside service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Nebraska law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Nebraska.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, limit, or end access to the website at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
