Under the laws of all states in this country, one's arrest photograph, also known as a "mug shot" is a public record. If you want your "mug shot" removed from the internet where it is displayed, you will need to contact the individual providers of such websites concerning your request. Be aware that the providers are under no legal obligation to remove your likeness from internet display.
