With the advent of free image hosting services, it has become easier than ever to upload one’s photos. However, the ease with which one can now do this comes at a price – they are also making it much easier for others to find and use those images in ways that may not be to their liking or benefit (e.g., if they include an embarrassing photo or information).

To help make sure they take back some control over what happens to these photos, here are seven tips on how one can Remove Mugshots Destination from photo sites:

Tip #1: Remove all traces of arrest records

One should double-check that the images containing arrest information about them are not available on Google images or other search engines. Once they have confirmed that this is the case, then it’s time to remove the images from the different sites they may be hosted on. Re-visit each of these websites and carefully read through their policies for removing content – if their image was uploaded without their consent, most of these sites will allow them to request its removal. If they need help locating an image, try conducting a web search with various combinations of keywords like “photo”, “image”, and their name.

Tip #2: Request photo removal directly from online directories, newspapers & websites

Some image hosting services allow them to upload their profile photo directly to the site, while others only display their standard logo. If it is the former, then carefully read through any terms of service that may include information on how long they retain their images and if their terms permit them to remove their photos under certain circumstances. If it is the latter (standard logo), then they can try submitting a directory listing for their directory with the standard photo of their choice instead of theirs.

Tip #3: Opt-out of social networking services that display their mugshot

After searching for their name on Google, they may find that some of the first few results presented are links to social network sites where their arrest record is displayed. While these sites cannot delete information about an arrest record on their own (as the relevant government agency does this), they may be able to deal with the issue directly by contacting their customer service. To do this, visit each of these sites and search for an “opt-out” or “privacy policy” page. Similarly, if their arrest record is displayed on any forums or discussion boards, they signed up to, be sure to opt-out of any email notifications that these sites send about new messages or comments posted on their profile.

Tip #4: Report mugshots as inappropriate content on social networking services

Most photo-sharing services have a reporting tool for offensive or inappropriate images. These will usually allow one to enter the url for the image they wish to report. This will allow the image hosting service to identify and remove any images that violate their policies about offensive content. To do this, first locate the photo-sharing service they are using, then click on options or tools followed by report abuse/inappropriate content. Next, please enter the url of the image they wish to report, followed by a short comment that clearly explains why it should be removed.

Tip #5: Submit removal requests to the relevant government agencies

Contact them directly and submit an additional complaint to the federal trade commission via their consumer sentinel network when requesting mugshot content to be removed from online directories or newspapers. This will help the ftc protect against fraud and abuse.
