Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to Linn County Busted Mugshots. Using the site means you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not continue using the site.

This site is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. It only helps visitors locate Linn County, Iowa jail and public-record resources.


Nature of the Service

Linn County Busted Mugshots is an independent reference site. It does not store official records, confirm custody, release a person, or file government documents.

Its pages point to inmate and jail record resources maintained by Linn County, Iowa agencies and to outside research services. The originating agency remains responsible for its own records.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Do not use the site while violating any law.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Do not try to gain unauthorized access to the site or connected systems.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor’s access or site operation.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither it nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use any content or result for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection, housing, or lease decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance premiums
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any additional purpose regulated by the FCRA

Outside Links and Services

Links may lead to jail rosters, police booking feeds, sheriff and corrections websites, government portals, legal resources, and private search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the destination’s content, availability, security, data practices, or terms. Review those terms before using an outside service.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant:

  • That information is accurate, complete, or current
  • Continuous or uninterrupted operation
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
  • That partner search results will be complete

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, Linn County Correctional Center, or another government body.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent Iowa law permits, Linn County Busted Mugshots and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold harmless the site, its owners, operators, and partners from claims, losses, expenses, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or your violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

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


Future Changes

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page, and continued use after posting means acceptance of the revision.


Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.


Iowa Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.


If One Provision Fails

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay effective. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
