Misdemeanors, I made mistakes but you should know nothing was felony and this is battery/resisting arrest.
Unfortunately when you get arrested in FL even if the charges get dropped later they have a unique law in the U.S that allows these to be released. You see this is a scam, this company under the name of "mugshots.com" because they figured out via the FL law they have access to this can post them. They want $800 per file (Costa Rican company run by ex con) to have each removed.
Its crazy this is even legal. Yes I made mistakes, had issues. These were misdemeanors not felonys.
This is legal (atm) blackmail making them public like that via FL unique law.
This is a big reason I was very pissed they used that underhanded method to get my real name. I knew this was out there and know most wouldn't get it.
I have to deal with this everyday, I didn't need the help of what happened with that site posting all my crap years after I even last played online poker.
*Obviously not my most flattering picture that second one
What happened here, garrett? No shirt, covered by the police cloth. You look fucking wasted, and like you got tossed around.Originally Posted by Anonymous
EDIT: here's ANOTHER mug
One of these is from one year ago.
Seems like your not done fucking up yet.
1 year ago was dropped nothing ever filed. These sites ofc wuoldnt indicate that, they want $800 to remove
This is the reason these are even available, notice it is only from particular states. So yes, people you know or are related to could have the same misdemeanor charges as me just in different state, so by law, they couldn't blackmail them people like this to pay them. They are protected, getting arrested even for misdemeanors in Florida, will ruin some peoples earning potential for life. Some of it is a shame that it is even legal.
This article is about this scumbag "blood sucking leech" as Druff put it last night that is behind these sites, and why some people mugshots you will find, and others you won't. It's simply what state you got arrested in, if its a state with one of these laws that makes this legal (FL being 1, there is not many) you will find your pics blackmailing you for profit. Florida very well may be the only State, but definately is #1 for this practice. Yes, even when the charges were dropped and never pursued, just arrested by a cop and put through the process, these will pop up. Even when the State never pursues the charges like 1 year ago for me, still they are blackmailing me to have these taken down.
This guy who runs this is total scum with no boundaries. And yes I made mistakes, and understand that. To the casual observer unfortunately, they would assume it is all felony stuff, when it is not, its a blood sucking ex-con running this legal amazingly scam from Costa Rica. Sounds like a legitimate business doesn't it. This practice is severely damaging especially the misdemeanor people who end up with these all over the internet. It makes getting a job so hard.
This has really hurt me and I am sure many others. Yes people make mistakes, but all do not turn into a lifetime criminal. This seriously damages me to be honest, and has been really hard to avoid. Mainly why I was so pissed about my real name getting out via some scumbags here. Its more clicks on this idiots sites, and more dirt piled on me, all of which is nothing new and from years ago which was already out there.
This is an article about the "business" behind mugshots.com, and the other sites alike (run by an ex con of course from Costa Rica, sounds real legitimate doesn't it).

In my opinion, misdemeanors do not belong on here at all. Unless they agravated, or predatory in nature. It should be left to serious crimes like Felonys, predators etc. As it is today, they love it because they have access to huge number of misdemeanor files (Tons more $ to blackmail for).

Hey Garrett , I gotta say thank you for sharing that article , last week I was bored and decided to Googled my name and found my mug shots when I lived in Florida. One of my arrests was a felony , I admit I used to smoke weed and last time I was arrested when I lived down there , my buddy and I got pulled over on 95 and I got caught holding over 20 grams and in Florida it is a felony. My mugshots where posted by mugshots.com. I was shocked that it was so easy to find stuff that's on the web on myself. I even used my mugshot on a Merge site I play on..lol
I agree with you everyone has done things that your not too proud of , don't let who ever posted this get ya down...but thank you very much for sharing that article..If anyone finds my mugshots , please don't post them here ..that's just wrong in my opinion...I'm just sayin'
