How to remove yourself from Arrests.org
Arrests.org publishes scraped booking records across dozens of open-records states. Removal runs through a per-record form keyed to your listing's ID, with document upload required. If the form isn't offered for your record, an email request is the fallback.
Mugshot, full name, date of birth, address, height/weight, charges, prior arrests.
Why removing yourself from Arrests.org matters
On Arrests.org, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull mugshot, full name, date of birth, address, height/weight, charges, prior arrests. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your Arrests.org listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Arrests.org is fairly straightforward, with one extra verification step — it works via online form + ID upload (email fallback), and removals usually process in 5-10 min. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Arrests.org has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Have your details ready for the verification step, then re-check in a few weeks to make sure the listing stayed down.

Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official arrests.org opt-out before entering anything.
Watch out: They don't grant every request and may strip only your address/DOB instead of removing the whole page; records can also reappear after re-scraping.
