Terms of Use

Using this website means you agree to these terms. If you do not accept every term, stop using the site.

This privately owned reference site has no government, sheriff, jail, or corrections affiliation. Neither we nor our advertising partners offer services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We are not investigators or a consumer reporting agency, and the material cannot be used for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or tenant decisions.


Nature of This Website

This private site is independent of the Muscatine County Sheriff’s Office, Muscatine County Jail, the Iowa Department of Corrections, and every other public body. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

Its role is to point readers to Muscatine County and Iowa record sources and to optional research tools operated by third parties.


Acceptable Use

You agree to use the site in a lawful, respectful way.

  • Do not use the site while violating any law.
  • Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
  • Do not seek access to systems or data without permission.
  • Do not run automated bots, crawlers, or scrapers.
  • Do not interfere with access or service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We and our advertising partners do not supply background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use any information obtained here for an FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment action
  • Tenant selection or any housing decision
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose governed by the FCRA

Links to Other Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections sites, government portals, court resources, federal locators, legal-aid information, news sources, or outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the destination’s content, privacy practices, terms, or availability, and you should review its policies before use.


Service Without Warranties

The site and all material are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty about:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currency
  • Continuous or uninterrupted availability
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws
  • The scope or quality of a partner’s search results

Custody data and public records can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and its partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold the site, its owners, and its partners harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or your breach of these terms.


Intellectual Property Rights

Unless stated otherwise, the site’s original text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Muscatine County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, alter, or republish them without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.


Ending or Limiting Access

We may suspend, limit, or revoke access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Iowa Law Controls

These terms are governed by Iowa law. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.


If a Term Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
