Arrests.org Removal: Delete Your Arrest Listing
Everything we know about how Arrests.org works, and how to get your listing removed.
Arrests.org compiles booking photos and arrest information from county and local law enforcement sources into a searchable, name-based directory. Like other mugshot aggregators, it doesn't investigate or verify outcomes — it publishes what was public at the time of arrest and generally isn't obligated to update a listing based on what happened to the case afterward.
Find your listing
Search your name on Arrests.org directly, or search "[your name] arrests.org" in Google.
Look for a removal request process
Arrests.org does not maintain a well-publicized, consistent self-service opt-out form. Direct removal attempts typically mean identifying a contact channel through the site's own policies and submitting your request in writing with identifying details.
Be prepared for a slow or uncertain response
Without a guaranteed process, timelines for a direct request are unpredictable — this is the main gap a dedicated removal and de-indexing service is built to close.
Arrests.org listings tend to rank well for the same reasons most mugshot aggregators do: name-specific URLs, frequent new content, and a network of similar sites that reinforce each other's visibility in search results.
That combination is why a source takedown alone often isn't enough — the listing needs to be addressed at the search-index level too, especially if it was cached or picked up by other aggregators before removal.
We submit a takedown request to Arrests.org within 72 hours and pursue search-engine de-indexing at the same time, rather than waiting to see if the source removal alone clears the result from Google. Once confirmed removed, we keep monitoring your name in case the same public record surfaces again through a different publisher.
If your mugshot or arrest record appears on more than one site, you're not alone — records are frequently scraped and republished across several publishers at once. Here's our removal guidance for the other sites we see most often:
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Arrests.org legal?
Generally, yes — it operates on the same public-records basis as most mugshot aggregators, which is legal even though the practice of monetizing removal requests has drawn criticism and, for some sites, legal action.
Does Arrests.org remove listings for free?
There's no consistent public opt-out process advertised, so a free direct request is possible but not reliable or fast.
How long does removal take?
Our takedown requests go out within 72 hours, with de-indexing typically following in 5–7 days. DIY requests without a formal process can take significantly longer.
Will it come back?
It can, if the same underlying public record is scraped by another site later — which is why ongoing monitoring is part of every case we handle.
