I was arrested 12 years ago for no proof of insurance.The charges were dismissed when a presented proof in court.

I recently googled my own name and this came up first in the list!. They charge a $68 fee to remove a mugshot whether you guilty or NOT'. Maybe you should google your own name or visit this site and see for yourself?. You may be surprised and angered at what you find|.

This is an unfair and hideous practice, especially if you were not guilty of anything/. These people also run another website with your mugshot and charge yet another fee to remove it from there:.

Again try searching BUSTEDMUGSHOTS:.COM for your full name or just google it|.The more innocent people are made aware of this *** the more likely it can be stopped. 3026944

I don't think there is, but if you ask around to attorneys in your area, maybe one will come up with a class action lawsuit. People need to unite because this affects people in every state. I'm not too sure of the class action laws suit website because there isn't a class action law suit going on there. They want donations to hire an attorney but I'm leary of that. There needs to be a class action lawsuit in every state. People need to unite. Pictures of people are being posted outside of mugshot websites. This is nothing less than harassing.

I'm a victim, and have thought about paying but here is why I haven't. These corrupt people will probably sell you info to another site (and tell them you paid to get the info off their site) who will then publish it again. This is the main reason why I think it distortion. There is no regulation or control over these sites.

If anyone finds incorrect information on the mugshot websites, you should submit a report to Rippoff. If you google "an ugly business Ft. Worth weekly", you'll read about a man who found false information on mugshots.com in 2012, and what he EFFECTIVELY did about it. He actually called the owner of mugshots.com, whose name is Kyle Prall, and left him a message (and he, Kyle Prall, called him back). But he also filed a report with the ripoff website. Read this article and see for yourself how to deal with the inaccuracies on this websites.

Nice Picture
Jan 29

This mugshot or picture was taken either for security clearance to get out of a government facility under construction. All company employees had to be identified to enter the site. Believe it or not some federal and state projects have high security areas requiring thiss stuff. I have been photographed a couple of time as well as finger printed. Home Land Security changed things so no one has any real rights!

Anyway, never figured this would show up on the internet but not going to pay just to get it taken down. Shame on people that do these things to others with out varifying the origin or reason for our photos ending up in a file. Either a federal or state file but you know the government most likely sold this information to these guys cheap! Just like insurance companies buy information on drivers in your state.

What do we do? Just hope you do not have to explain it over and over to friends, family and your employers. Whom are they going to believe anyway, some *** website or you? Think about it, be upfront because it could be worse with your picture cut and pasted on naked body!!!!

Hope these guys get what is coming!

Unfortunately, as of 2013, a lawyer just found evidence that there has been a long standing relationship between mugshots, arrests.com and ripoff report. I think the lawsuit originates out of Ohio

To: Jane Doe regarding having no arrest but being on the website, if you file a report with Rippoff.com (or whatever it's called), you can cause problems for the mugshot website. And it'll cost them money, I believe. You should file a report. It won't hurt and this is a legitimate site for complaints.

I googled my name recently and found I am on this website. There is no mugshot (because I have never had one taken, I've never been arrested), the site just list some alledged charges I was arrested for! And before anyone asks "well how do you know its you"?, its because I have a very unique first and last name. I emailed the website, explained there had been some mixup and asked them to remove the listing, because anyone googling me while believe that I really was arrested. No response and the "lies" are still there for all to see.

I think someone should post the mugshot website addresses so that others can see where they're located. The owners hide behind their websites and don't want people to know where they are. There is an attorney in Lucas Cty, Ohio who was suing 5 mugshot websites, filing his complaint on 12/3/12. You can read his Complaint and see the addresses at: www.counselor.pro/articles/class-action-against-mugshot-websites. If you go to the bottom of the page, and click on "complaint", the full document will appear with addresses. Justmugshots.com's address is: c/o Arthur D'Antonio III, 929 Portland Avenue S, Suite 1802, Minneapolis, MN 55404. Bustedmugshots.com and mugshots.com are both owned by Kyle Prall (or were at least was in 2012). Their mailing address, according to the Complaint, is: Citizens Information Associates LLC, registered agent: Jeremy Brooks, 1604 Nueces, Austin, TX 78701. I read on the internet that the owner of these two mugshots, Kyle Prall, has been arrested 6 times. (If you google: Kyle Pyle Austin TX, you'll read this.) He's from Bloomington, IL but resides in Austin, TX and works (or used to work) at ERCOT in Austin and operates his mugshot websites on the side. But it's ironical he's been arrested 6 times and his mugshot isn't on his website, but everyone else's is The attorney in Ohio mailed papers to him, thru his address but it was returned and service failed. It appears to me the owner/operators are hiding and don't want to receive any legal... Show more

I have been exploited by this site as well. however I am a person with many legal resources.
And many tech skills, I plan on assembling a blog shortly for all of us to get together
and stop the exploitation of the many of us who have paid our debt to society.
I know they are probably reviewing everything on here. (I hope so)

I too was a victim of Mugshots.com though the case was completely dismissed due to false accusations. While innocent, my arrest photo and charges were plastered all over the internet including social websites. Despite disclaimers, the damage done is humiliating and just plain wrong. Those found guilty also are victims. They paid for their convictions and should not be further prosecuted.

Pay attention ***! Most of the people complaining did *not* break the law and have mugshots posted anyway! That's why these sites have all these disclaimers about being innocent until proven guilty. It's because they know that many of the photos they post are of innocent people!!!! These sites make money off of extorting people!

O please you can tell your ignorant! Who knows what kind of person you are! Or the skeletons in your closet, who are you to judge? Who died and made you a judge, but whatever you will one day regret what you said, may not be yourself, maybe a sibling or someone you love..

A class action is not going to help, and only will result in permanently putting your name out there. Go to mugshotracket.blogspot.com for more details on what you can do.

Yes a class action is in order. It takes 40 signatures to get started.

Help!

I am in the same boat in TN. Was wrongfully arrested for a paperwork mistake. Case was dropped but my life is being ruined by the mugshots because I cannot advance in my career. I hate to pay money and "reward" them for destroying peoples' lives, not to mention I really don't have 2 nickels to rub together. I am a good person that did nothing wrong and just trying to put that horrible experience behind me. Please help! I am thinking attorney general?
