Google someone you know who has been arrested over the last five years or so. Their booking photo should come up, even if they were never charged or were charged and found not guilty.

But wait!!!

A booking photo is public record. Sure, many can find good in what Mugshots does. And, it is protected by the First Amendment- according to Mugshots. But, still not fair according to others.

Wait!!!

There is a solution! Just pay a "sister" online company $400-500 or so and that company, which has a "special" relationship with Mugshots, will get it removed!

Anyone know any more about this kind of thing???

that sounds like a brilliant business plan.

"We will publish this bad public record photo of you unless you pay us"...

Interestingly, I bet an enterprising individual could make a number of similar "extortion" sites.

Yep...they go around and scour public records for arrests records (especially domestic violence charges) and post the info as "truth" with no real disclaimer if the charges were dropped/proven false or otherwise.

If you are going for a security clearance it would be smart to search this info on yourself. 1. to prepare to defend yourself during the interview process or 2. pay the site off and be done with it

No different than publishing the arrest reports in the daily paper. It's a matter of public record. Same thing as doing a background check on someone. Paying the $400-500 to the sister site to have it removed from Mugshots will not have it removed from public record. Anyone can still look it up. The Statute of Limitations for has been extended a few times in the last 25yrs - going from 7yrs to 10 or 12yrs now.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, and pay the consequences for years afterwards.
