What if the mugshot site, such as arrest.org, still doesn’t take it down?

Florida Statute 901.43 (3)(a) states: the person whose arrest booking photograph was published or otherwise disseminated in the publication or electronic medium may bring a civil action to enjoin the continued publication or dissemination of the photograph if the photograph is not removed within 10 calendar days after receipt of the written request for removal. The court may impose a civil penalty of $1,000 per day for noncompliance with an injunction and shall award reasonable attorney fees and court costs related to the issuance and enforcement of the injunction. Moneys recovered for civil penalties under this paragraph shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund.

Reading this statute feels like your reading Shakespear. So what does it all mean? It means if the company publishing your mugshot doesn’t comply with your qualifying request within 10 days in Florida, then you are entitled to $1,000 per day for noncompliance. That’s great! But what you get no response. Sometimes there’s no contact information at all on a website. It’s not uncommon for a website to essentially be a shell corporation. It seems like you’re chasing a ghost. That’s where Scrub My Mug comes and saves the day. Contact us today for your free consultation. Scrub My Mug will go after the hosting company.
