MUG SHOTS .COM HOW DID THIS COMPANY GET MY PHOTO FOR BEING 2500 MILES AWAY Internet, Internet

I am livid at the cavalier way mugshots.com is exposing me to.  I am seriouslsy thinking of a law suit or mass law suit.  I was NEVER convicted of a crime yet the posting is there to ruin my reputation and ability to get work. I was arrested but the charges were dropped.  I was innocent.  Yet I have to endure vultures like mugshots.com who want me to pay them to remove my picture.  The damage is done. Please contact me and lets see if we can right the justice that needs to be.  Thank you my friends.

 To whom it may concern, I am deeply troubled by the actions of Justmugshots.com.  I was never convicted of a crime.  The incident involved medication, and the charges were DROPPED.  Yet Mugshots is allowed to post my picture without my consent.  They have ruined my attempts to get a decent job, anyone can access this site. And Mugshots wants me to pay to pay them to have the picture removed.  This is a crooked game they are playing and I demand my rights to have my picure removed from the mugshots site.  I am serious about suing someone for this.  No one has the right to tarnish my name any more than this website has.

Please help me find a way to get my picture and name off.  I feel like I am being held hostage.  If there is still honor the rld, then we can erase this grotesque website and it's warped idea of justice.  I am a proud American Veteran, US Navy, and I don't deserve this sort of slander.

Please help me if you can. My phone number is (((ROR redacted)))

Thanks and God speed you on your way.

If anyone is interested in a mass law suit, please contact me. We can fight this intimidation.  It has ruined me for now.  TThis real life......

Sincerely,

Scott Galbraith

Attorneys on Avvo have made the comments below. Would they have made these comments if it was them or their children on Mugshots.com? I don't think so!

"The mugshot is public information. Anyone could have looked it up as soon as the government publicized it. It could have been printed in the paper or broadcast on tv. A radio announcer could have described it."

"Mugshots are public records of the actions of the government. It is lawful everywhere in the U.S., so far as I know, to publish documents and photographs that are public records of the actions of the government. People are apoplectic about the existence of these mugshot sites but they are an unfortunately humiliating byproduct of open government and the First Amendment. "

"When the police book you and take your photo after your arrest, that photo is a governmental document. We live in a democratic country where most governmental documents are not secret and anyone can obtain a copy. "

"Unfortunately, it is public record. There are services where you can pay for removal for a fee. There is not much you can do because it is public record and you were arrested."

"Sorry, but the pictures are public record and they can be posted online. We have had a half-dozen or more questions asking this very same question. The answer is the same and the answer is that this is totally legal. If you want to stop this you will have to change the law in your state. Until then, as long as the pictures are public record there is little you can do."

"it appears to be legal. One way to view it is via 1st Amendment protections that would apply to a newspaper or radio station. In our small community, every non-juvenile arrest goes to the 8:00 AM radio and in the newspapes. Some news stories include the mug shot."

"the website is within its rights to post the mugshot"

"MugShots.com and other mug shot display websites base their existence on the rule that mug shots are public, official records, and that a citizen does not have a state law privacy interest in them. Further, under the First Amendment, most official, public records can be obtained with permission, third-party release, or proper request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), if they are not already publicly-available documents to begin with. 

If the official mug shot is part of an arrest record, the mug shot could be considered part of the public domain in some jurisdictions. Even if a mug shot is not officially considered part of an arrest record, it is generally a photographic record in the public domain and the laws of most jurisdictions allow one to request and obtain these types of records. 

Some states recognize a common law right to privacy, and the Appeals Courts are split on whether or not a citizen who is arrested (and of course, presumed innocent until proven guilty) would be entitled to demand that their mug shots be removed from websites if they are later acquitted. 

MugShots.com, in particular, offers a courtesy removal process in certain instances, although they vehemently protect these options as a mere courtesy, and not a legal requirement."

BOISE The Ada County sheriff says its own website is being used to extort money from people who have been arrested. Since 2003, the Ada County Sheriffs Office has been posting daily mugshots of those arrested on their website.  But, Sheriff Gary Raney says recently third party websites have been "scraping" the mugshot and names of those on their website and then placing the information on their own website. Scraping websites, like Boisemugshots.com, has thousands of mugshots of those arrested since early 2011.  The photos on Ada Countys website are deleted after five days. Boisemugshots.com provides a link to another site that removes the information from the Internet for $99. It's really a form of extortion, said Raney. This is something that really goes against the fundamentals of what I sense we should be putting that mugshot out there for. Raney says he is now considering taking down the website to protect those who have been arrested. There's really an injustice that happens to people, said Raney. Raney is also looking into increasing the security on the site to prevent other sites from taking information.

Mugshots are part of the public record, and are available for viewing by the general public. This website just collects them all in one place. I would say its a ripoff if you never committed a crime, but you just admitted to it. Even if it was in the vague 9 - 12 years ago period.
