Arrests.org

Arrests.org is an online platform that publishes publicly available arrest records and mugshots from various law enforcement agencies across the United States. The website aggregates this information, creating a searchable database where users can find individuals' booking photos, arrest dates, and charges. This data is sourced from public records and is accessible to anyone, including legal professionals, employers, and the general public, for background checks or personal inquiries. The exposure of personal information on Arrests.org, including names, alleged offenses, and photographs, poses significant privacy risks to individuals, even if they are not convicted of a crime. This publicly available data can be misused for stalking, harassment, and discrimination in areas such as employment and housing, causing long-term reputational damage. To protect your privacy, it is crucial to be mindful of the information you share online and to utilize the opt-out procedures provided by such websites to have your records removed.
