NO FCRA USE. Cape Girardeau County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for employment, credit, housing, insurance, or another decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources in Cape Girardeau County and Missouri.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of every government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve a government record, perform an official background check, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
Its content identifies custodians such as the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Office, the 32nd Judicial Circuit, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to outside search services.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of access, you must not:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Missouri, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass a person with information found here
- Apply site content to an employment, housing, lending, or insurance decision
- Attempt to enter a system or account without authorization
- Operate a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool against these pages
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's ability to use the service
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use information from this site or a linked service to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Missouri registry data is supplied for lawful safety awareness, not vigilantism or retaliation. RSMo §589.425 makes criminal use of registry information unlawful. Misuse may lead to criminal or civil consequences.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create a credit report, background report, or consumer report. Site content and linked tools cannot be used to:
- Evaluate a person for employment
- Assess an applicant for housing
- Set insurance eligibility or rates
- Make a credit or lending decision
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A legally permissible official check should be obtained from the Missouri State Highway Patrol or a properly compliant consumer reporting provider, as the applicable law requires.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Missouri attorney can advise how a warrant, charge, conviction, sentence, or expungement rule applies to a particular set of facts.
6. No Warranties
The website and all content are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- A partner's search result is complete or correct
- Every page is free from an error or security weakness
- Government contact details and procedures remain current
- The website will always be available without interruption
A record can change when a charge is filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement by a sheriff, court, or Missouri agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to county offices, courts, Missouri agencies, legal resources, and independent search providers. We do not control an outside site's availability, content, data practices, or fees. Its own terms apply after you leave this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Cape Girardeau County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative work from protected material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from use of the website, reliance on its content, or use of a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including reasonable related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of the website must be brought in a court located in Missouri, subject to any controlling jurisdiction rule.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the new version is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend or end access to the website at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited only as much as necessary.
