Your Mistake Will Follow You Forever
-
So you get arrested, then you get acquitted or you get a sentence that gets expunged. You're done, right? Not anymore, not now that there are websites that specialize in posting your mug shot online. That way, anyone, including prospective employers, Googling you will see you at your worst and find out that you were indeed arrested. And the sites will mostly only take the mug shots down if you pay them. Extortion? Maybe, but they're under no obligation to take the shots down. And trying to stop them gets into First Amendment issues. So... yeah, tough problem. (New York Times)
