t’s a multi-million-dollar scam preying on tens of millions of Americans, especially minorities, that no one has been able to stop. Welcome to the very shady, very lucrative mugshot industry: a business built on publishing photos of everyday Americans based on arrest records that are often misleading — and sometimes just wrong.In America, they say you’re innocent until proven guilty. But even the innocent get booked by police sometimes. And those booking photos are easily accessible by web-profiteers, who can post them to their own sites. Index them in search-engine results. Spread them far and wide on the internet for years, ruining the lives of job-seekers. Unless, that is, the people in the mugshots pay big sums of money to the site owners to have the pictures taken down. For more than a year, Fusion’s The Naked Truth investigative team, led by correspondent Natasha Del Toro, navigated the shady world of mugshot websites — collecting harrowing stories from victims and chasing site owners who don’t want to be found. Along the way, we found a messy underworld where technology is outpacing lawmakers and civil libertarians, challenging our notions of privacy in an internet age and perpetuating stereotypes about crime in America. If you have been a victim of a mugshot website, or you simply don’t agree with mugshot extortion websites, you can file a complaint with your state’s attorney general, the Federal Trade Commission, or the FBI’s internet crime unit. You can also join together with other victims of mugshots.com on their Facebook group, organized by Jimmy Thompson, a victim who tells his story to Fusion viewers in Mugged.
Earlier in 2016, Ohio HB 172 (Creates fair and accurate publishing of criminal records law) unaminsouly passed through the state House then the Senate but was unable to make it to the Governor’s desk before the session ended. The bill is planned to be reintroduced to the Ohio Legislature in the 2017 regular session.
For the 5th year in a row, Florida lawmakers have drafted legislation hoping to get rid of online mugshot scams (SB 118). More on the many issues behind this bill later… But again, the Sunshine State also happens to be ground zero for the national online mugshot extortion dilemma —so please don’t hesitate to contact Florida lawmakers and ask them to support SB 118 when they convene March 7th.
North Carolina recently filed a bill (HB 18) that would exempt mugshots from public record. This isn’t the first time NC lawmakers have proposed doing so. Much like those who disagree with a recent Federal Court ruling in favor of individual privacy, seemingly concerned journalists solely want to place blame on those shady extortive mugshot websites for inspiring the government to take this kind of action. Perhaps these same reporters should give themselves and their colleagues a share of the credit for taking part in commercially over-publicizing mugshots. Numerous North Carolina media outlets like WRAL publish “mugshot galleries” for clicks under the guise of journalism.
Meanwhile in South Dakota, advocates of SB 25 are probably hoping that any negative publicity associated with the exploitive practice of for-profit mugshot publishing doesn’t blow their chances of making booking photographs part of public record. South Dakota is one of the few states where these photos are currently not made public. Expanding the online mugshot extortion industry’s clientele base is a very avoidable circumstance —so long as South Dakota legislators, as well as, the attorney general choose not to ignore the laws passed by 14 other states. SB 25 should include a provision to discourage despicable profiteers from exploiting unbridled access to these records if this bill is going to be signed into law. Today, SB 25 was advanced by the South Dakota Senate judiciary committee with a vote of 6-1. The one senator who opposed the measure said “The photos, if made public record, are available to literally anyone,”… “My concern is with the unintended consequences of what we’re doing here.”
