    Tired Mugshots.com Published My Address

    I don't care that my picture and name are up on the internet, but they published my home address and then put a link to google maps so that it's laid out right there for whomever feels like looking it up. I have people from my past that could be very dangerous if they found my current residence and I also have a young child under my care at said home.
    I tried looking up how to get it removed but the site is charging $400 removal fees. How is this legal? I feel like it's almost blackmail, despite these being public record.
    What do I do?

    I just saw something about this on tv the other night. The guy who owned it claimed that that very day they quit charging for take down. If you know an attorney, have him/her write a letter requiring it be taken down at once. I'm not sure it has any legal teeth behind it, but at least it's something.

    The problem with these sites is not the initial fee they charge to take it down. The problem is, that there are many sites like that, all connected, and once you've paid to take it down on one site, they'll just put it up at another one. It's very sleazy.

    That's what I've come to read. The mugshot isn't the problem though, it's the personal information posted with it. I looked into a few other sites and only one seems to have published my address. I just don't have the money to handle this right now... ugh.
    Thank you very much for your advice.

    In the FL city I grew up in, we call the local equivalent of mugshots.com The Dating Website. They post your mugshot, your charges, occupation & whatever address you listed for the arrest paperwork. No GoogleMaps link tho. I suppose since it is a matter of public record there is no real concern over it -- along w/ it being the sort of small town where you fart in public & sm1 two blocks away will be ringing you presently to tell you what it smelt like -- in other words, can't hide nothing from nobody down there.

    But I do agree that you should have a lawyer go to this company, & possibly the others that it is affiliated w/ -- certainly there must be a way to force them to take your info down if it's a matter of your physical safety.

    I found this website that offers to get your mugshot removed from websites. I don't know anything about them, but it can't hurt to look into it.

    all my old soliciting charges are on those sites. screw it i have nothing to hide. I made mistakes in the past and if anything I'll use my story to deter other young women from making the same mistakes that I've made. What these websites do is a form of blackmail but the worst you can do is allow it to hinder you! Unfortunately, if you pay one website to take it down it's still going to be on hundreds of other sites. At least contact the sites who have your address listed publicly and if that doesn't work contact legal council and be sure to tell them that you are 'low income' that way the charge will be small if they represent you! good luck honey

    Thank you so so very much!
    I'm just freaking out but I was able to contact the sites with my address and hopefully it will be removed in a timely manner. If not, I'm going to contact my lawyer friend.
    I also had a friend search me on Google and apparently since my name is so close to "Skype", my results are lost in a sea of spam.
    This kind of thing usually wouldn't get to me, but I have a sociopathic fugitive related to me who would do anything to find out my whereabouts. It's exactly why I try to be really safe on the internet.

    Does the site only display your address at the time the picture was taken? If that is the case, would it be possible to move to another address, so that if any other sites published your photo and address information, the address wouldn't be current?

    It did post my current address but I cannot afford to move right at this moment. I still have months left on my lease and have to stay in town due to the court date I'm due for. I wish I could move though. I need a bigger house as it is.

    I know you are worried but like you said this is public info, anyone who wanted to find you could find you just as easily as that website did. If you are not concerned about your mugshot i wouldn't worry all that much, it's not like they hire a private eye to find out stuff about you, all that stuff is easily found on google anyways.
