FAQ

Busted Newspaper opt-out FAQ

Can I get my mugshot removed from Busted Newspaper?

Often, yes, especially if charges were dismissed, dropped, or expunged, or the listing is inaccurate. Send a written request with your booking details and supporting court documents.

Should I pay Busted Newspaper to remove my mugshot?

Be cautious. Several states, including Georgia, Colorado, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Utah, restrict or prohibit charging fees to remove booking photos, and Google may demote sites with exploitative removal practices.

Will removing the mugshot clear my record?

No. Removing a website listing does not seal or expunge the official record; that requires a court process.

How do I remove the mugshot from Google?

Once the page is removed or changed, submit the URL to Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool. You can also request removal of results from sites with pay-for-removal practices under Google’s policies.
