Is It Difficult to Get Arrest Information Removed from the Internet?
One of the things you need to understand about being arrested is that it's public information. In many cities, arrests and mugshots are posted online daily. The problem is, these individuals have only been arrested and not convicted of a crime when their mugshots are taken. Unfortunately, it 's a long, tedious process to get your mugshot removed from a site, but it can be done.
How to Get Your Mugshot Removed Online Yourself
In many cases, it's a simple matter of submitting a form to get your information deleted from a website. That's not the case when it comes to your mugshot and arrest information. The process of having your information removed from a mugshot website on your own is tough. You'll need to:
- Prove your case has been expunged, sealed, or ordered to be destroyed.
- Show you were a victim of identity theft.
- Show that you have served your sentence, paid your fines, and met other requirements.
So, you'll need to submit documents signed by a judge to prove any of the things mentioned above. If you don't produce adequate evidence, your mugshot won't be removed, and you could miss out on things such as:
- Jobs
- Housing
- Friends
- Family
- Credit
