Overview of BeenVerified | What Does Background Check Show?

If you have not yet completed your BeenVereified opt-out request there are a few functions that you may want to search first. Before you complete that removal yourself, try searching to see what information is online in reference to your name. Most of the time people will simply click “opt-out” without reviewing their record. We highly recommend that you diligently research your name in order to track and keep records of any other websites that house your private information similar to BeenVerified.

Once you have located a record reference either yourself or another individual you will most likely be prompted with a payment screen in order to view the entire report. Go figure, you have to pay someone else to look at your own information!

It is important that you do an efficient job of searching for yourself. So if you have changed addresses recently there may be an entirely new listing about you. The average individual from our experience has anywhere from 1 to 3 different listings on BeenVerified. An easy way to ensure you find everything would be to create a Google Doc with the exact .pdf or URL from BeenVerified. This way you now have a readily available reference link and you can monitor your opt-out. Save this, check annually just to make sure nothing new has presented itself online.

Beenverified Opt-out. Does It Really Work?

Publishing Mugshots – What’s Legal And What’s Not

We live in an age where almost everything is available online. Hence, we are now used to meeting someone new, and almost instantly typing that person’s name into a search engine to see what comes up. It is possible, during one of those searches, that a mugshot will suddenly appear, regardless of whether or not that person has a criminal record. Today, entire websites are actually dedicated to finding these mugshots and arrest details, again without consideration of the outcome of this. So is this legal?

 

Unfortunately, the law is incredibly complex. It is not illegal per se to post a mugshot. This is because all police actions are a matter of public record. However, what is illegal is that many of these companies give people the opportunity to pay them in order to have the booking photos removed. Many people believe that this is a form of extortion and blackmail, and it has in turn given rise to a legislator and court interest.

 

The Business of Publishing Mugshots

 

When the police take a mugshot, this is kept for their own records. In some situations, the local police department may then place this on their website as well, albeit only for a few days. However, in recent years, a number of commercial companies have started that trawl the internet in an effort to find arrest records and mugshots, and then post them online.

 

All of these commercial companies claim that they are there to protect the public by empowering people to know who they are in contact with, or who lives on their block. But in reality, these companies are simply out to make money because they hope that the people who are listed on their website will pay them to have their images removed. This can quickly become very expensive, as the mugshots and records can be listed in many different places.

 

The Emergence of Mugshot Removal Companies

 

Some websites aim to prove that they are ethical by removing any information for free if the person can show that they were not charged following the arrest, or were exonerated. However, they often do not provide details on exactly how they do this. Meanwhile, the existence of these types of websites has, in turn, given rise to other commercial companies that help individuals have their mugshots removed.

 

In a number of states, for instance in Utah, new laws have made it easier to have information removed, and have made it illegal to post pictures as well. Oregon, meanwhile, makes it illegal for websites to charge people to have the information removed if the incident did not result in a conviction, was expunged, or was reduced to a violation. Unfortunately, many of the websites that list this information are based in foreign countries, such as Pakistan or Russia, which means US law is not applicable to them.

 

A number of solutions have been put in place. First of all, a range of online payment gateways, including PayPal, now refuse to process payments to mugshot websites. Google, meanwhile, has changed its algorithm so that a mugshot no longer is the top result on their page. A class action lawsuit in Connecticut has been started by people who have had their conviction expunged, or who were not convicted at all. They claim that holding this type of information on record is classed as defamation of character, which means that an individual’s reputation is damaged as a result of false information. The state of Florida agrees with this particular class action lawsuit, and they are in the process of debating a bill that would force records to be updated by taking down mugshots of people who were not convicted of a crime after their arrest.

 

Another lawsuit focuses on the right to publicity, which is an individual right. Essentially, individuals are allowed to have full control over how their image is used commercially, preventing others from earning money from it. Lastly, some people are claiming that these websites are engaged in extortion and blackmail because they require payment in order to have negative information removed.

 

Unfortunately, until these cases are resolved, and until federal laws are put in place across the board, companies that list mugshots, arrest information, and criminal records are not breaking the law. This is why the best solution at present is to make use of companies that are dedicated to removing this type of information not just from the commercial websites but also from the search results. While this does cost money, it is a lot more affordable than starting a lawsuit, particularly if the information is listed on multiple websites, or that having them individually removed by the various sites.

However, you see their mugshots on Google.

In the past, expunging and sealing criminal records did not in any way apply to websites on which mugshots were shared. Rather, these laws were in place to ensure government agencies would destroy or close records. This does not involve private companies. It also meant that people who found their mugshot on those sites, regardless of whether they were innocent or guilty of the crime, could do little other than pay up what the websites wanted. And in the meantime, they would know that their mugshot could simply re-appear somewhere else. The new law aims to fight this, but many people question just how effective this will ever be. Remove Florida mugshots today with our team, all solutions are 100% guaranteed or money-back.

 

Removing Florida Criminal Records

The new designed specifically to deal with the private companies that list public mugshots online. However, there is a catch. Applying to websites that require money for mugshot or content removal. Under the new law, companies have 10 days to remove Florida mugshots if the individual on that mugshot formally requests them to. Should they fail to comply, the individual can then sue the company to have it removed and a judge may then also levy fines on the company for non-compliance of up to $1,000 per day. Furthermore, if the company refuses to remove Florida mugshots, they can also face civil prosecution under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.

This only applies to a website that asks for payment to have Florida mugshots removed or that accepts payment for this. A lot of websites have now simply changed their policies to reflect that they no longer accept payments. However, they will continue to display the mugshots. Thankfully, reputation management companies have the tools available to convince these websites to remove them anyway.

How to Remove Mugshots Online

Trying to learn how to remove mugshots online? Services for mugshots removal are growing in demand. Why?

Imagine for a second that you were arrested without probable cause or because of misidentification, and then your mugshot was taken. Now everyone can see your mugshot online. Your photo will go to mugshot websites where people online will be able to view it whether you are innocent or not. Moreover, mugshots are easily searchable in Google or other search engines. This can ruin your reputation, personal achievements, and stature in society. It will also damage your personal relationships, and potentially your whole life.

There are many people who were proven innocent or had their charges dropped but their mugshots are still posted on the web, which continues to cause them problems as well as their loved ones. There is no assurance as to whether or not mugshot websites check the validity of arrests or even the outcome of cases. It’s also uncertain how these photos can be taken down, who should do it, and who should be responsible for the wrong information. Many innocent individuals have wasted their time, energy and money just to solve this issue but to no avail.

To help the people who are asking about how to remove mugshots online, we are listing down the available options that you can do and those that we recommend. To set your expectations early, there isn’t a single solution that can solve all online mugshot problems. This article will present different tips and tricks for every situation and hopefully one of which will work out for you.

Mugshot Removal Websites

Removing mugshots online can be very challenging for many people. That is why in recent years, a lot of mugshot removal websites has popped out over the web. That’s brilliant, right? This is the answer that many people are waiting for. Well, yes and no. Mugshot removal website is a good idea to make this type of service readily accessible to people. However, this segment of internet business is still wide open and it’s not clear if there’s already an established regulation in doing mugshots removal. You wouldn’t know which sites have legal authority to remove these photos online and which ones are potentially subject to prosecution.

Bogus and illegal websites have since been operating online, offering mugshot removal services that have no real effect other than to take your hard-earned money. Those people who are desperately trying to take their pictures off the web become double victims because of the opportunistic individuals behind these websites. Here at EraseMugshots.com, we work with an effective legal team to eliminate any trace of arrest records online.

Keep Your Eyes Open

We understand that people, whose mugshots are posted online for the wrong reasons, will try to do anything to take these mugshots down because their lives are being affected. However, we advise you not to make any hasty decisions. Keep your eyes open, and watch out for mugshot removal sites that will only take advantage of your situation and your urgent need.

The reason for this is because there is a trending tactic which mugshot removal websites are using to make an easy living out of your desperation. Over the last few years, they began partnering with businesses or websites that collect and share mugshots on the web. At first, they’ll market their awesome ability to remove mugshots online. Once they got you in a contract, they’ll just reach out to mugshot websites and voilà, instant money for them.

To make the long story short, they are just middlemen and not the real deal. You might ask, ”what’s wrong with that?”. First, it’s unethical to pretend something that you’re not, especially when money is involved. And second, this type of practice is solely just for income-generation. Mugshot removal sites that do this don’t have any concern for their clients. They’re just in for your money.

With their connections to various mugshot collectors, mugshot removal sites will be able to maximize the potential income that they can generate by gouging the financial capabilities of the clients. They’ll try to determine your budget range at first, then they’ll tell you that they will find out how much is required to remove your mugshot photo online. After giving it some time to make it look that they’ve done everything, these sites will then give a quotation at your maximum budget or even at a higher price.

Typical Mugshot Costs

Let’s say that you have a budget of around $800. Most mugshot removal websites will get back to you with a $1,000 quote and give you an assurance that they will be able to take down the mugshot. These websites will try to squeeze out the most dollars they can get from you. They’ll even mention that they have a money-back guarantee if they are not able to remove your photo online. And because they are affiliated with the mugshot sites, they have lots of confidence that they won’t be giving any of your money back.

They’ll brag about this guarantee so you’ll be convinced to spend out of your budget. If you are in the position where the huge burden on you will finally be removed, you’ll surely pay extra $200 for that.

You might be thinking right now that it isn’t really that bad. If these websites can deliver the mugshot removal service that they promised, then it’s fine. They can work with the mugshot sites however they like. We totally get that, and if the process is that simple and easy, we’ll be getting the same service, too. The problem is it’s more complicated than what we think the process is.

If your mugshot was successfully taken down from one or two websites, that doesn’t imply that it no longer exists online. It can still be found on other websites. You should, therefore, invest your time and money on a solution or strategy that will completely remove your mugshot from all corners of the internet.

The Landscape of Mugshot Removal

As you have read, you really need to be careful when trying to remove mugshots online. When you find a website claiming that it can take down mugshots even from an entire search engine like Google, you have to think more than twice before making any inquiries.

Just like what we mentioned, there are many mugshot removal websites that promise to remove mugshots from one website for $100 to $500 fee or more depending on the budget you stated. This means that you have to get a mugshot removal service for every individual website where your photo has been posted, in order to effectively take down your mugshot from anywhere on the web. Just think about how much these costs will add up to. And, even if you’ve successfully removed all existing mugshots online by paying thousands of dollars, you are still not guaranteed that no other image will appear in another mugshot website later on.

The sad reality is that it’s very easy for mugshot sites, whether existing or new, to add your photo to their collections. On the other hand, it will take a great effort for you just to identify them all and deal with them individually. Think about how much more you should do if you want to sue these websites for posting inaccurate information that causes detrimental damage to your reputation.

Usually, when these websites are already taking too much heat from complainants and other people on the web, they will just shut down their site and migrate the data to a new domain. Problem solved. It will be very difficult to prove that the new mugshot removal website is the same one that just recently closed. Pursuing them legally will cost you a lot of money, not to mention your precious time and effort.

Mugshot Removal Practices

These practices put mugshot removal websites in the bad radar of big payment providers such as Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Companies are staying away from the bogus sites by not processing payments, invoice requests, and other transactions. This step puts all other websites and companies on the right track in dealing with mugshot removal sites, although it’s not completely reassuring. When talking about business as usual, it’s difficult for these payment processors to put a finger on which sites are fine to deal with and which are not. Right now, they are only working with large mugshot removal websites and are carefully identifying small and medium players that are legally operating.

There are also some states that have legislated preventive measures against these sites from charging mugshot removal fees and prohibitions for sheriffs from sharing mugshot photos to sites that are making a business out of removal services. However, these legislations are just state-based, just like we mentioned. Federal law is yet to be created for the total ban of mugshot removal fees on a national level. We certainly hope that there would soon be a standard that will be followed in all states because protection against mugshot removal sites is definitely needed by many people. If you want to know which states currently have the legislation for protection against mugshot removal fees, including states with pending legislation.

To the states that are not yet part of this list, know that the money you generate from sharing mugshots to different websites are partly paid by offenders like mugshot removal websites.

Lacking Mugshot Legislation in Your State?

For all people living in states that are yet to create state laws against mugshot removal concerns, you will have to make a conscious effort to stay out of trouble to protect your reputation online and in real life. Once your mugshot is taken, you can’t expect for it not to appear online whether you are innocent or not, and you can’t rely on the law to get you protected.

Mugshot Legislation

How to Remove Mugshots Online?

The question that needs to get answered now is, ”Should we get the services of mugshots removal websites?”

Well, it depends on which state you live in. If you are residing in a state that prohibits booking photos and services for mugshot removal with a fee, then go ahead. You’ll just have to send a request to the website to take down your mugshot and they will have to comply for free. Once your charges are dismissed or dropped, you have the right to make this request. It also applies to those people whose cases are sealed.

Just remember that once you had success in removing your mugshot in all existing mugshot websites now, it doesn’t mean that you’re guaranteed of it not appearing on other sites in the future. That could happen and your mugshot can also get indexed somewhere on the internet. While you can, of course, be happy that you are able to get your life back to normal, you must not be complacent. You must do your obligation to ensure that no other mugshot websites will post your arrest photo.

On the Other Hand

Don’t expect mugshot removal services to be free for websites that are registered in states with no law on mugshot removal fee prohibitions. You can still send a request to mugshot sites to remove your photo once your charges are cleared. You can send documentary evidence to prove your right to have your mugshot removed online. Obtaining a sealing or expungement may lessen your fee.

If it does happen that you receive a quote for your mugshot to be removed, there are some things that you need to consider. How much is the actual cost? If it’s outside your budget, then end the negotiation right away. No more discussions. But don’t worry, there are other measures that you can do.

If the fee falls on with your budget and it is the only mugshot of you online, then consider paying for the fee even if it’s expensive. The more important thing is that you finally have cleared your reputation and image online. However, if the site is only one of the many mugshot websites that have your image, then don’t bother paying the fee because it won’t make any difference. You’ll only waste your money for nothing because it won’t solve the whole problem. What you need is a better solution.

Direct Request to Search Engines

There are many people who see the option of reaching out to Google and other search engines as a better way. They want to try and get these search engines to undo the index on their mugshots. This is a very good strategy, except that they are probably not going to honor such a request. Google and other search engines don’t usually see the removal of mugshots to be their responsibility.

When it comes to removal requests, Google follows specific guidelines to arrive at a decision. Google USA usually agrees to de-index pages on the web that contains the following:

  1.    Copyrighted Contents
  2.    Sensitive Personal Information
  3.    Child Porn
  4.    Revenge Porn

For countries other than the US, Google and other search engines honor the removal requests according to the guidelines set by the particular country. For example, the law called “Right to be Forgotten” in the European Union forces search engines to remove the indexing on out-of-date information of people on the internet as requested by those individuals. You can read more about removal requests in EU here.

If you are wondering if Google supports the victims of outdated mugshots online, as a matter of fact, it does. Google made an algorithm update back in 2013 to lower the ranking of mugshots in search results due to the controversy over paid mugshot removal services. It is a very helpful move so that mugshots that are no longer relevant will not appear immediately even when searched for.

Request to Search Engines

Suppression is the Key

Mugshot removal websites and search engine requests can be probable solutions to your online mugshot problems depending on your location, but we think that suppression is the most recommendable answer. It is the most sustainable solution and also a proactive practice that any individual can do when it comes to negative contents online. Suppression is easily the most reliable solution as well.

So, how does suppression works? It works by giving your focus on establishing a strong online brand and promoting a positive image on the web, including social media. This strategy will help “suppress” the negative results in search engines containing your mugshot photo. The idea behind it is that the lack of online positive images of you gives more problems compared to the mugshot sites that are showing your photo. If you control your own brand and build positive images on the web, they will rank much higher in Google results and create a strong and good reputation on your name. Lessening the impact of your negative publication.

In order to create these positive images, you have to set up a personal website on a domain that contains your name. You also have to link the website to your own social media accounts, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Google+. Build a strong foundation is imperative for suppression.

Optimize your website and social media profiles by creating an “About Me” page and personal profile that includes important public information about yourself. This will make them attain high rankings in search engines with your name and help give all images of you a big boost online.

Focus on Mugshot Images

Afterward, you can focus specifically on images. All new photos and images that you will upload on your website and social media accounts that are optimized by your name, will surely appear in search results fast, especially if there are not that many online photos of you, to begin with. They also have a good chance of making the first-page results in Google.

You should insert more effort in creating positive photos of you that will rank high in search results for people to see, instead of focusing on mugshot removal in search engines and mugshot websites. Sites like BustedMugshots.com appear all the time, suppression can and will resolve this issue.

The Image Optimization Process

Below are the three specific steps that you should take in order to optimize positive images of you for high-ranking search engine results:

Collect Positive Personal Images

To help take down your mugshots online, you need to have a weapon to battle the websites showing them. Make sure to check all your storages like your computer, smartphone, cloud storages, and web accounts. Put together a solid collection of your photos that you want to promote online. If you only have a few of them, then start creating new ones.

Many people find it uncomfortable to have their pictures taken, more so in posting them online. If you are one of them, now is the time to get past this awkwardness. Remember that you already have a negative image posted online. Your sacrifice will surely result in good things, so better pull it together.

In this first step, the goal is to upload as many images of you as possible. Take note that every picture has the potential to suppress, remove or outrank your mugshot from search engine results. The more positive images of you, the more chances you have in taking down your mugshot online.

Also, bear in mind that using different images will add more strength to this strategy. So refrain from gathering the same images even if they have different visual effects and sizes. They won’t give any help to your cause. Search engines, especially Google, can identify the same images even with different file names. It will be way better if you collect entirely different photos.

Although this task will require more time and effort from you. We advise you not to skip it because it’s a necessary task. It’s very essential to what you are trying to accomplish.

Find out possible Image Websites and Networks

After gathering different photos of yourself, now find where you can publish them. Focus on storing images and have strong domain and presence on the internet. The more popular the websites are the better.

Finding these type of websites will help rank your photos higher in image results. Also assisting to suppress your mugshot images from ranking. This will make your efforts in mugshot removal much stronger and impactful. Below are some of the website that you should focus on:

More on Image Websites

Ensure that your profile in each of these websites is optimized with your name. Enabling the pages containing your photos to be indexed by search engines in higher ranking. As compared to the ones that have your mugshot. You should also make sure your name appears in the same format as the one tagged in your mugshot. This way, when someone searches for your mugshot, your web profiles and images will show first instead of the mugshots. Removing mugshots off the first page on Google is the goal of suppression.

Your personal website will also play a big role in your efforts in removing your mugshots online. When examining each optimized photos be sure to include them on your personal website. If you are yet to create one, you better build it right away. Buy your domain and get hosting from websites like Bluehost, GoDaddy, and HostGator. Set up your website with WordPress.org.

Furthermore, your new personal site will not be as authoritative or powerful as websites like Facebook or Twitter. It will greatly help in suppressing your old mugshot photos and bury them deeper in search results. In your own website, you can modify the ‘alt text’ of the images. Do this with the keywords that you need to suppress. You can also make your website well-optimized by including more relevant personal information. This will enable the search engines to understand the images better.

Image Websites

Publishing Optimized Images

You’ve gathered the required images, you’ve found the correct websites, and you’ve created your personal website; now it’s time to publish the photos. However, there’s more to it than just uploading your photos. You need to do some things to make these images optimized. Here are the additional steps that you have to do:

  •         In all the images that you are to upload, the filenames should include your name. Try to do some variations of it. For example, don’t just the images as johndoe.jpg or john-doe.jpg. Include file names like john-doe-minnesota.jpg or john doe-marketingmanager.jpg. These variations with your work or location can help Google and other search engines understand the image better. 
  •         Personal websites (via WordPress) are capable of adding ‘alt text’ to images uploaded to the website. Take advantage of this feature by including your name as well. Alt text is another useful signal that search engines can pick up when indexing your images. So, make sure to do it.
  •         Some websites also permit adding image descriptions, like Facebook, Instagram,  and Pinterest. Don’t forget to make use of them as well. Fill the descriptions out by describing the image and putting variations of your name on it. 
  •         Whenever allowed by a website, put a caption on your photo. Just like image descriptions, they also help provide more details to search engines about the images. Format the captions in such a way that you can smoothly insert your name. If you find this part a little hard, try adding other useful personal information instead.

How to Remove Public Mugshots Online

 

In this digital era information is everything. While most find it interesting and humorous when they see their favorite celebrity get arrested, with article after article published online for the world to see. It is all fun in games until it happens to them. Public mugshots are unflattering, embarrassing and in certain situations, completely misleading. Unfortunately, the United States classifies public mugshots and booking information as “public knowledge”. Moreso, this means you have the ability to obtain anybody’s arrest record by simply going online. Google has become a double-edged sword when it comes to handling your online reputation management. Say goodbye to “first-impressions”, Google has become a stalker’s paradise.

As soon as an arrest is made (prior to any conviction), an individual is booked and processed at a police station. Next, his or her mugshot photos are then uploaded into county records. Within hours, news stations can obtain this information and write a story online for their readers. The purpose of the police capturing a mugshot of the arrestee is to confirm identity with a photographic record. Many police departments have their own websites with a well-kept database for anyone to browse through. If your county does not, you can always venture into town and ask for that individuals’ records face-to-face at the clerk of courts office.

Seeing as public mugshots can hinder the success of those individuals’ not convicted, websites like BustedMugshots.com or Mugshots.com (along with county offices) are free to publish. As long as the websites do not report a conviction or verdict, the fact that an arrested did occur will never change.

What are the Laws on Public Mugshots?

What is said online can have prolonged effects, even commenting on a post on Facebook negatively could haunt you for years to come. Everyday arrest records are published online for anyone with a computer or smartphone to see. There are about 300 websites, spread throughout the nation, that publish mugshots online. As unethical as this may seem, many sites feel as if they are doing a service for the community. Yes, from the opposing perspective they appear to be extortionists set up to ruin your life. When in reality, their goal is transparency. Think of it this way, if you have small children that play outside every day wouldn’t you like to know if anyone in your neighborhood has a criminal record? There have been many state statutes implemented over the past year, none of which have been successful.

Protected by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) these websites are completely within the legal confines to display mugshots without the consent of the arrestee. The rights to each mugshot belong to the county offices. Once that information is shared publicly it may be distributed as pleased. This means if your ex-spouse decides to post your mugshot on Facebook (as long as they do not talk negatively) they are allowed to do so.

 

– The Freedom of Information Act Allows These Sites to Operate –

 

Furthermore, some states like Georgia have established a 30-day removal policy when it comes to handling mugshots online. Not complying with this removal policy will result in a violation of the law.  Most of these websites are located within the borders of the United States, however many are not. This means these statutes are not relevant as no state can enforce a law if the “offender” is located in Belize or Guatemala. With limited censorship online, people are at the mercy of these publication websites.

Many websites will remove if the case is closed, dismissed, or expunged. If you are struggling with a mugshot removal and would like assistance, please call us directly at 866-601-6803, or click here to visit our contact page.

Do Public Mugshots Show on Google?

Unfortunately yes. Google is a neutral and unbias search engine, this means they cannot pick and choose what appears in the results. In addition, if you are an individual with a very minimal presence online you will end up suffering the most. When a mugshot website decides to publish public mugshots they will include your name several times in the article. By not having a lot of information online in reference to you, this information is more likely to appear on the first page of Google.

While states are still working to establish laws to eliminate these mugshot sites for good there are many merchants such PayPal that are working to combat these sites themselves. So if you attempt to pay an individual and write “mugshot removal” in the description, PayPal may not approve your transaction. There have been some efforts from Google, Yahoo, and Bing as well. This included a severe decrease in traffic for the keywords like, “mugshot” or “arrest removal” a few years back. Making it almost impossible to locate an arrest if you were not familiar with that particular website (i.e. Bustedmugshots.com, Mugshots.com, etc). Nowadays you can simply visit Google and type in your first and last name, along with the word “arrest” to uncover any arrest records.

 

How to Remove Mugshots

During this time, that record is treated just like everyone else. Once a verdict is given, the corrections will be updated on the website.

What is the End Goal?

How to Interview: Interview Tips When Preparing

Posted on by Adam

Interview Tips and What You Should Know Ahead of Time

 

Making a good first impression is important when it comes to job interviews or any application, which is why it is essential to come prepared. This means doing homework on the company that you wish to be apart of reviewing products, the company itself, executives, and any other area of the business you find to be “need-to-know”. Along with developing a thorough understanding of your target company, here is a list of tips that can provide insight on how to prepare for an interview.

 

interview tips

 

Know Your Audience

Knowing your audience is a huge part of job interviews. Reading your interviewer is a great way for you to develop an understanding of the atmosphere of the workplace and speak in the manner in which they prefer. Yes, it is important to always speak in a professional tone, but some companies may favor a much more laid back individual with a large skill set instead of a limited individual who is extremely professional. It mainly depends on the company. Here are a few tips for knowing your audience:

  • Develop an understanding of who the company is can better prepare you for who you wish to present during an interview. Read the company’s blogs, Facebook, Twitter, or any other social platform where you can read the company’s tone.
  • Compile a list of the individuals that you are meeting with from the company and learn more about them. This is how you can learn about potential behavior that they find favorable or unfavorable and allow you to present your best self.
  • Ask the recruiter or HR contact about what type of interview method they are going to use. This is completely acceptable to do and prepares you for the potential questions or brain teasers that your interviewer is going to ask.

Along with preparing for particular questions, there is a list of questions that are commonly used by interviewers.

 

Preparing for Common Questions

Many interviewers ask a list of common questions that can easily be found online. Make sure to emphasize your strengths. Here are a few tips whenever these questions come up:

  • One of the most classic questions often asked is, “What is your biggest weakness?” When answering this question, answer with something that you are struggling with but working to improve. This shows the interviewer that you are well aware of your flaws, but are taking the initiative to improve them and yourself. Conduct a SWOT Analysis on yourself first.
  • Always have a “tell me about yourself” answer ready at a moments notice. This is often one of the first questions asked by interviewers and can set the tone for the rest of the interview. When answering this, try to include some of your best qualities without sounding egotistical or narcissistic (this is a big turn off to employers).
  • Find a list of common interview questions, but practice your answers without writing them down. When trying to memorize lengthy responses, we often forget them when we are answering in person. Instead, write down bullet points and notes about what you want to say and practice until the information flows.

Even though the interview is mainly about asking you questions, it also is beneficial to compile a list of your own questions as well. This shows that you were paying attention and did your homework on the company.

 

Dress Appropriately

Showing up underdressed is one of the worst things to do before being interviewed. Being properly dressed shows the interviewer that you care about the position and have respect for the workplace. Here are a few tips for dressing appropriately:

  • First impressions are very important to interviewers, which is why picking out the perfect outfit is vital. You can do this by contacting someone within the firm. See what they wore or hang out around the building and see what employees are wearing.
  • Dry clean your clothes! Going into an interview with a dirty suit presents disorganization and carelessness. You want to make sure and have your outfit in tip-top shape when interviewing.
  • Clean up: get a haircut, trim your nails, shine shoes, etc. Cleaning yourself up for an interview can help you feel confident and confidence is important in interviews!

All of these job seeking tips can successfully help you with becoming employed. But before they give you a callback they more than likely are going to search for you online.

 

 

Saving Yourself From Embarrassment Online

Employers very commonly go online to find out more about their potential employees. This is why it is a must to make sure that your online presence is positive. If you feel you’re not represented fairly online, then developing an online reputation management strategy may be a solution. What is your reputation score? If your situation is rather complicated, then contacting an online reputation management firm may be a viable option

How to Find Mugshots Online

What You Should Know First

In 2018, there are minimal laws set in place to protect those who were arrested. Typically we view these people as “criminals” or generally bad individuals. When it comes to the use of public information, many sites are protected under the FOIA. The Freedom of Information Act grants permission for anyone in the general public to republish records. This may seem crazy, anybody can go to the county offices and collect a copy of your criminal record. They can even post this information on Facebook or Instagram because, technically, this is factual information and not defamation or liable. Not every state allows arrest records to be easily accessed and that is why you may have noticed states like Pennsylvania or Oregon rarely publish mugshots online. There are many ways you can quickly find mugshots online. Do you have an arrest record? Have you Googled yourself lately?

Public Databases and Google

Today, we live in an age where technology is rapidly advancing. Say goodbye to the times where mail was the primary source of communication. Many sheriff websites will openly display arrestee information so you do not even have to make contact with them. This is how many third-party sites like mugshots.com or bustednewspaper.com collect the information currently displayed. With the use of modern day software and scraping tools, hundred of records can be collected in no time at all.

How to find mugshots online is fairly simple if you are tech savvy, but more often than not we see our clients struggling to locate them each day. There are a few websites that show the “most” arrests in specific areas. All you need is the first and last name. In Florida any time an individual is arrested they are likely to appear on about 10 different websites (aside from the county office).

– 100% Risk-Free and Money Back Guarantee –

Google. This search engine is a gold mine for finding anything online as you should know by now. To locate an arrest simply type in that person’s name, followed by the word ‘arrest’. Most of the time (depending on how unique the name is) you should see instant results under the ‘IMAGES’  tab. If you do not, try adding in a middle name or the city/state where the arrest occurred. For example, if your name is John Smith it may be hard to find a mugshot easily. Try searching for “John Daniel Smith arrest Mecklenburg North Carolina” if this does not prompt any results you may be in the clear.

In addition, we guarantee our work 100% so if we fail or something reappears you receive a full refund.

Get the Facts About the Mugshot Industry

Facts About the Mugshot Industry | After an individual is arrested the chances are the mugshot and booking information will appear on Google. Have you ever researched the facts about the mugshot industry? Many are quick to call this industry a scam and for many reasons. A lot of small removal “firms” will claim they can remove various types of content online without failure, yet after 2-3 months you start having trouble contacting them and they go M.I.A. 

By definition, a scam is a fraudulent business scheme. There are a few websites that have participated in ethical or unlawful acts to better themselves financially. But overall, there are several reputable agencies that can assist you. Read reviews on each company, in addition, make sure the work is 100% guaranteed. Go with a business you trust.

There are no laws protecting the arrestees, unfortunately, as long as the information displayed is still considered public records, these websites are in their legal rights to publish the content (except for a few states). As long as these websites update accordingly and are displaying accurate information there is nothing (legally) you can do to force them to remove it.

“When you think positive, good things happen”

-Matt Kemp

What is the Cost of a Mugshot Removal?

After you have uncovered every website online that is actively showing your arrest information you can start by contacting them one by one. This is either done via email or over the phone. Mostly all of these mugshot publication websites do include a “Contact Us” or “Terms of Use” where they disclose their contact information.

On average, mugshot websites will charge anywhere between $200 to $600 for the removal of a single post. These costs are variable and change monthly depending on the “friendliness” of the site owner. Overall, an average cost for a total removal (5-10 websites) ranges between $1,000 to $2,5000+ depending on the outcome of the case and severity of the charge(s). You must also take into account where the arrest occurred, each state has different policies.

For example, if you were arrested in the state of Florida you will (90% of the time) be found on at least 6 distinct mugshot publication websites. Florida, along with Texas, North Carolina and Arizona are by far the worst states to get arrested in. Why? Because those are the sites where these mugshot websites operate from so the arrestees in that area tend to get hit harder than other states.

What Works and What Does Not?

When it comes to success rates, here at EraseMugshots.com, we pride ourselves on having no negative reviews and a positive BBB rating. Many sites will claim they can remove the content in 60 minutes or overnight. If that does not raise an eyebrow I do not know what else will. For someone to guarantee such a timeframe, needs to know without a doubt that site will comply. Most of the time it is because the “removal company” also owns the mugshot site. This, of course, grants them the ability to remove the content quickly. Making them look like the hero. This would be comparable to a firefighter starting a fire then “saving the day” by extinguishing it right away. Read below on more facts about the mugshot industry.

What Alternative Do You Have for Mugshot Removal?

By now you have noticed this can be quite the investment for many individuals. That is why is it so important to be aware of the facts about the mugshot industry. Do not worry there are alternative routes you can take. These may not be as successful but will assist in “hiding” that negative information online.

By creating additional content that is positive we can, in essence, flood out any negative pieces of information. Google for instance, on the first page there are 10-12 results (paid and organic results). If you are working to suppress something off the first page you would utilize high authority sites to “outrank” the unwanted content.

alternative routes for removal

We want to reiterate that, as unethical as it may seem, these sites are not legally doing anything wrong. Protected by the FOIA, mugshot publishers can publish your arrest content all over the internet. As long as they do not contact you asking for payment, it is not considered extortion, blackmail, or racketeering.

If you have tried to remove a harmful post but failed, give us a call at EraseMugshots. Our 100% free comprehensive analysis will immediately uncover any and all harmful websites. Within 7 days they will be removed and it will be as if they never existed. It is time you finally landed that dream job.

 

More Facts About Mugshots

If you have ever been arrested there is a high chance of probability that your mugshots are appearing in Google! You have most likely seen yours if you fall into this category. All arrest information is considered public information, so these website sites are within the legal rights to display this content without permission from the arrestees.

The most common misconception we see is users who visit these sites automatically assume the worst. A mugshot site or booking photo is simply a reference to the individual and the incident. If someone has a mugshot online that DOES NOT mean they were convicted. Most people are released right away and never see the inside of a cell.

This is a perfect example of how unregulated the internet is. Having sites publish booking information only to have that individual pay them to have it removed.

 

mugshot animation booking photo

Why are Mugshots Online?

Mugshots and booking information are considered public information as we briefly covered previously. If you would like to obtain an arrest record for a family or friend (or even a potential date) all you would need to do is visit the county and ask. Unless the case was expunged, you will be provided with all of the case details from the incident. Do not worry, this can still be removed.

Once a website obtains your information they are free to do with it as they please. Mugshots can be uploaded to Facebook, Twitter, Personal Websites and more. They are unfortunately protected under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Additionally, the arrestee, in this case, does NOT own the rights to the photo. The county court of clerk office does.

In fact, there have been many statutes implement over the past several months in efforts to minimize the spread of arrest information (see what your state’s guidelines are here). These statutes include, not paying for a mugshot removal. Consequently enough, these website owners are now NOT removing anything (not what the state expected). Moreover, the law set in place made it illegal to charge for removals, not to post. However, if your case has been dismissed or expunged many sites will comply with your request and remove the negative information.

How do you find everything that is out there?

 

First, start with a Google search for all variations on your name to uncover your mugshots.

John Smith OR John D. Smith OR John Doe Smith

 

Next, put words like arrest or mugshot after those variations to further narrow down your results. After you think you have a list, review it as this should consist of about 5-10 different sites. You can then reach out to the site owner(s) and provide your legal documents discrediting what they have said about you. Lastly, be sure to be polite and provide facts they cannot argue.
