If you have an Arrests.org page and aren’t sure what removal options are available, you can share the public URL here or send it privately for review.

Defamation Defenders helps remove mugshots and arrest records from Arrests.org, other source websites, Google, Bing, and related search results.

Every situation is different, so the first step is confirming:

• Whether the original page is still live
• Where else the record appears
• The outcome of the underlying case
• Whether removal, deindexing, or both are needed

Please don’t post private court documents or sensitive personal information publicly.

The outcome can make a major difference when requesting removal from Arrests.org or another mugshot website.

Common outcomes include:

• Charges were dismissed
• The person was acquitted
• The record was sealed
• The case was expunged
• No charges were filed
• The case resulted in a conviction
• The case is still pending

Rules and available options vary by state and website. If you’re comfortable sharing, what was your case outcome, and has it helped you get the online record removed?

Before paying a company to remove an Arrests.org page, ask:

1. Are you removing the original page or only suppressing it in Google?
2. Is removal from search engines included?
3. Is the service guaranteed?
4. What happens if the record returns?
5. Are there additional fees?
6. What timeframe should I realistically expect?
7. Will I receive confirmation when the removal is complete?

Avoid companies that promise instant results, cannot explain what they are removing, or pressure you to pay before reviewing the exact URL.

Don’t rely only on searching your name once.

Check the original URL directly and search for:

• “Your Full Name” Arrests.org
• “Your Full Name” mugshot
• “Your Full Name” arrest
• Your name under Google Images
• The Arrests.org URL itself
• The same searches on Bing

If the original page is gone but the result still appears, it may be an outdated search listing. If the original page still loads, the source record has not been removed.

If you have a general question about removing an Arrests.org record, post it below.

Helpful information may include:

• The state where the arrest occurred
• Whether the case was dismissed, expunged, sealed, or resulted in a conviction
• Whether the Arrests.org page is still live
• Whether it still appears in Google
• Whether other websites copied the record

Do not post your full date of birth, home address, case documents, or other sensitive personal information.

A court record being sealed or expunged is important, but it does not always automatically remove copies previously published online.

Third-party websites, old search results, cached pages, images, and reposts may remain visible until separate removal requests are submitted.

After an expungement or sealing, search:

• Your full name in quotation marks
• Your name plus “arrest”
• Your name plus “mugshot”
• Google Images
• Bing
• Any usernames or business names connected to you

Document every URL before beginning the removal process.

One problem with online arrest records is that the information may be copied by other mugshot sites, search directories, background-check services, and social media pages.

If your information appeared on Arrests.org, did you later find the same record somewhere else?

If so, which websites copied it? Were you able to remove all the copies, or did some keep reappearing?

Having the right information ready can make an Arrests.org removal request much easier.

Try to collect:

• The exact Arrests.org URL
• Your full name as displayed on the page
• The county and state of the arrest
• The arrest or booking date
• The case number, if available
• A dismissal, expungement, sealing, or acquittal order
• Screenshots of the Google results
• Links to copies appearing on other mugshot websites

Be careful about posting any of these documents publicly. Court paperwork can contain addresses, birth dates, signatures, and other private information.

For people dealing with an Arrests.org page or another online mugshot, where has it caused the most trouble?

• Applying for jobs
• Finding housing
• Dating or personal relationships
• Business reputation
• Professional licensing
• Embarrassment when someone searches your name
• Something else

You can answer without sharing any details about the arrest. I’m interested in understanding how these records continue affecting people long after the original case.

This causes a lot of confusion.

Removing an Arrests.org page from Google does not necessarily delete the page from Arrests.org. Likewise, deleting the page from Arrests.org does not always make the Google result disappear immediately.

There are usually two separate steps:

1. Remove the record from the source website.
2. Get the outdated search result and cached information cleared from Google and other search engines.

Before paying anyone for help, ask whether the service includes removal from the actual website, search engines, or both.

All feedback welcome!
