Having a\u00a0mugshot\u00a0online<\/a>\u00a0can harm not only your career but your entire future. With that\u00a0unwanted image on the web<\/a>, you can rule out many career, housing, and dating opportunities right off the bat. The reputation you have worked so hard for is now at risk.<\/p>\n

Before we jump into how to\u00a0remove\u00a0criminal\u00a0arrest records<\/a>\u00a0online, let\u2019s discuss why your\u00a0mugshot\u00a0shows up on Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why Are Criminal Records Online?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For better or worse, mugshots are\u00a0public record<\/a>. This means that anyone with an internet connection can easily obtain your personal information, including criminal history records and\u00a0arrest records, in just minutes. According to numerous local, state, and federal laws, an arrest record or similar legal records are part of the public domain, similar to mugshots<\/a>. They must<\/em> be posted online to comply with these laws.<\/p>\n

In the past, mugshots weren\u2019t always so easily accessible. Before the dawn of the internet, people needed to visit the local clerk\u2019s office to request a copy of their criminal records or court papers. An arrest record could only be obtained by making a formal request.<\/p>\n

These requests usually pertained to employment applications and housing agreements. Criminal records often only showed up during criminal history background checks.<\/p>\n

Increase of Online Court Records<\/h3>\n

\"Search<\/p>\n

In 2005, we saw an increase in mugshot websites<\/a> on Google, including Arrests.org and Mugshots.com<\/a>. Today, there are\u00a0thousands<\/em> of places where your online arrest records and personal information can be exposed to anyone with an internet connection. Trips to the courthouse and time-wasting requests and phone calls are no longer needed to obtain your criminal history records.<\/p>\n

Many mugshot image sites focus on posting embarrassing booking photos online. While many of these sites specialize in posting the embarrassing arrest record details of sports and entertainment celebrities<\/a>, everyday people have also been impacted. Imagine if your public record were to be published online \u2014 what could that mean for you and for your family?<\/p>\n

As these sites proliferated, search engines began picking them up, and Google may rank a criminal history record from years ago. This has the potential to hinder millions<\/em> of employment, housing, and relationship opportunities.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact that most mugshots feature people who were never actually convicted or served time. In many cases, the person in question had their record expunged altogether.<\/p>\n

Your Information Is at Risk<\/h2>\n

\"Google<\/p>\n

Whether or not you have an arrest or conviction in your past, more individuals are seeing their criminal record history exposed in search results across the web. This is regardless of the outcome of the arrest, including having your public court records expunged, or any case filed against you.<\/p>\n

This has created an online epidemic, as many individuals have nowhere to turn for help when it comes to their criminal history record being public.<\/p>\n

That is, until now.<\/p>\n

If you have an arrest record, that information and all related documents are public information. This means anyone with access to the internet can find your personal info fast. Court records of your arrest or criminal history<\/a> are not the only concern; personal details contained in public records may include:<\/p>\n
