How to get your mugshot off the internet. Here's how. Get each site to take it down, then clear it from Google, yourself or with a team that does this every day. Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool handles the Google part. Search your name plus mugshot, and list every site it's on. Getting it down once is the easy part. Three things decide whether it stays gone, and there's a faster way through all three. First, the request. Every site has its own process, and a vague email gets ignored. It needs the exact link, the legal basis, and proof. Second, the law. Some states limit what mugshot sites can charge, and the rules differ by state. Never pay the site itself. Third, the copies. Pull one page, and the same photo can show up on a sister site fed by the same data. Then you start over. That's why TheReputation.org exists. We do this every day. We know each site's rules, build every request, and file the Google side too. We don't handle expungement itself. If you need both, we'll point you to attorney resources we trust. If your mugshot still shows up when people search your name, comment "REMOVAL." We'll see what can come down, and handle it for you.
