Common Myth #1 Expungement will remove mugshots from Google.

Ways To Remove Mugshots and Personal Information From Mugshot Sites
Submit An Image Takedown Request Directly To Google To Remove Arrest Records
Once a piece of personal information is removed from a website you can send a request to Google to have it taken out of online results from Google search. This will remove the website’s URL from results. Use this link to submit a request to Google: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals.
This will get the content removed from Google’s search cache and stop it from appearing online. Google periodically updates its cache when it revisits pages to check for updates and will remove online info that is outdated.
Google’s purge of legacy mugshot websites from their algorithm has helped stop the publication of the jail records of many individuals online. It’s a good idea to check Bing as well since they have an algorithm that allows lower-quality results and spam to appear in their results. A booking photo, or criminal arrest record online, can cost you a job opportunity, potential relationships, a business venture, or diminished community standing.
Submit Your Request Directly To The Website Before Contacting Google
Remove mugshots from Google by reaching out to the web pages containing your arrest information is the first step.
Documentation To Submit to Get Your Mugshot Removal:

- A final disposition letter from the attorney general or county prosecutor of not guilty.
- Court records showing the criminal charges were dropped, dismissed (nolle prossed), or not filed.
- A letter from an attorney stating that your record was expunged, restricted, or sealed by the courts for any crime committed.

Expunge Your Criminal History
Depending on the outcome of your case and the state you were prosecuted in expungement may be an option for you. Every state has different requirements for what type of charges can be expunged or sealed. Your best option is to reach out to your attorney and see what the local prosecutor or court requires in order for your charges to be expunged. Many factors can go into this eligibility including the length of time since the prosecution, the severity of the crime, your criminal history since the prosecution, and more. An expunction will provide more benefit against background checks that are compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Hiring decisions are not allowed to be made under federal law from information found online during a Google search. An FBI background check will most likely display any criminal arrest history you have regardless of expunction or efforts from removal services
Reputation Monitoring After Removal Or Data Breaches
After the successful removal of damaging content online, you will want to monitor your reputation to see if any of the harmful content re-appears or gets republished on another third-party website. Personal reputation management once completed is easier to maintain than most people realize. Google offers a free service for anyone to use that will alert them of any new information published that matches a specific search query entered into Google’s free tool called Google Alerts. Once you have set up a Google Alert for your name and location you will instantly be notified of anything new that is published under that specific query.
