We remove mugshots and arrest records from Google using Google's policy against sites with exploitative removal practices, state laws that restrict pay-for-removal mugshot sites, and requests to the police, court or news source. Where it fits, GDPR or a defamation notice adds weight. $1,500 per URL, about 30 days, and you pay only when it's removed.

Scope
How it works
To remove a mugshot from Google for good, we first list every result for your name: mugshot sites, police pages, news reports and image results. Mugshot sites copy each other, so one arrest can show up on several domains, and each needs its own route.
Dropped charges, an acquittal, an expungement or a sealed record all strengthen a removal request. We gather the paperwork you have and tell you what is missing. If the record itself needs sealing, that is a court step for a lawyer, and we say so up front.
Google removes results from sites that demand payment to take content down. We file under that policy with evidence of the site's payment demand, and send notices under state laws that restrict pay-for-removal mugshot publishing where they apply.
We ask the police department, sheriff's office or newspaper that published the photo to remove it or update the record, then ask Google to refresh its results so the old photo and snippet drop out.
We recheck Google Search and Google Images for your name. You pay only when it's removed. If we can't remove it, you don't pay — any deposit is refunded in full.
Legal grounds
Google removes certain results from Search on request: doxxing content and personal contact details, non-consensual intimate imagery, results from sites with exploitative removal practices, and content subject to valid legal requests.
Google Search Help — removal policies ↗People in the EU/EEA (and the UK, under UK GDPR) can require organisations — search engines included — to erase personal data that is inaccurate, outdated, unlawfully processed or no longer necessary, balanced against freedom of expression.
Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Art. 17 ↗False statements of fact that damage a reputation can be removed on legal notice, and in some cases by court order. If a case needs a court order, we tell you up front.

Don't pay the site. Paying doesn't reliably end the problem: the same photo can reappear on an affiliated site, and the payment funds the next one. If Google turned down a request you filed yourself, it may have gone in under the wrong policy, or without proof of the site's payment demand. We refile under Google's policy for sites with exploitative removal practices, with dated screenshots of the demand, and run the state-law and source-removal routes in parallel. If a case would need a court order, we tell you up front.
Mugshot sites copy booking photos from public police records, publish them under your name, and then offer to take them down for a fee. Google treats that as an exploitative removal practice: it removes results from such sites on request and has demoted them in its rankings for years. Several US states, including California, Florida and Georgia, now restrict publishers from charging to remove booking photos.
Paying doesn't remove the photo from police records, other mugshot sites or news reports. It just confirms that the business model works. The lawful routes take longer than a credit card payment, but you don't end up paying twice.
A booking photo is not a conviction. What we can remove are copies of your photo and arrest details on third-party sites and in Google's results. What we can't change is the official record held by the court or the arresting agency: that takes expungement or sealing, which depends on your state and your case.
The two work together. A sealed or expunged record, or proof that charges were dropped, is the strongest evidence a removal request can carry. If you haven't started that process, it can be worth speaking to a criminal defence lawyer or legal aid clinic first, and we will tell you if your case needs it.

Questions
In two main situations, yes. Google removes results from sites that charge people to take content down, which is the business model of many mugshot sites, and it updates its results once the source page is removed or changed. For photos on official police or news sites, the route is usually the source itself.
It can be done. Google's policy on pay-for-removal sites doesn't depend on the outcome of your case, and some state laws on mugshot sites apply whether or not you were convicted. An expungement, dismissal or acquittal makes every other route stronger, so tell us if you have one.
$1,500 per URL with Nullify, and you pay only when it's removed. Be wary of cheap 'removal' offers connected to the sites that posted the photo: paying them doesn't stop the copies elsewhere. Ask any provider which legal route they use, and whether you get your money back if the photo stays up.
Image results come from the pages that host the photo. Once the photo is removed at the source, or the source is removed from Google under its policy, we ask Google to refresh the outdated result and the thumbnail drops out of Google Images.
Usually not. Booking photos are generally public records in the US, and publishing them is lawful in itself. What several states restrict is charging people to take them down, and false statements published alongside a photo can be defamatory. That is why we focus on the removal routes rather than the posting.
Commercial mugshot sites are mostly an American problem. In the EU, EEA and UK, criminal-record data has special protection under the GDPR, and an outdated arrest report about a private person can be a strong right to be forgotten case. We tell you which route applies where you live.
