Four men allegedly behind the website Mugshots.com have been arrested and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced charges of extortion, money laundering and identity theft. The website mines information from police department websites, pulling names, mugshotsand charges of those who have been arrested, and then publishes them online. To get the content taken down, individuals have to pay a “de-publishing” fee — a practice that has been illegal in California since 2015. Becerra’s office says that over the course of three years, the site collected more than $64,000 from California residents and over $2.4 million nationwide.
