Mug shot on the internet

Mine has suddenly come up on page 1, the FIRST search record and it is from 2009. I think it moved up because I kept looking at it.

Any computer savvy peeps here that can tell me how I could possibly move it down? I keep clicking on other things that come up on me in hopes of moving it down the page.

Create new stuff online in my name?

I am going to request they take it down- it is one of those mug shot sites- not the county jail. They want documentation to take it down though.

Leave it there as a reminder of the wonderful things alcohol can do for you.

Oh no, that sucks. Contact the administrator of the site and plead your case. I know that my local paper runs mug shots daily. Thank the Lord they weren't doing that when I was popped in the 90s for DUI!

I know this must be a downer. Try not to obsess on it, breath and see what can be done about it. Good luck!

I'm not sure what you can do Elisabeth, other than contacting the site owners.

I have no advice either Elizabeth - I'm glad they don't do that in my country.
I hope you can get it sorted

Sorry to hear about that Elizabeth, but if it turns out that there is nothing you can do, don't let it bother you. Like someone above me said, let it be a reminder to you why you are here today. That picture isn't you, that's the Old Elizabeth who got into trouble, you're the NEW Elizabeth. (just pretend you have no idea who she is!) Hehe

Oh no! I hope the site admins take it down for you. If anyone asks, just say Oh, that picture? I got arrested for protesting or doing something cool. Or you could say it's your evil twin

That really sucks though. I don't think sites should be able to publish stuff like that, or the newspapers either.

That really sucks! There could certainly be ramifications down the road so it might be something to address.

I hear adds on the radio for "reputation defender" for help on this kind of thing. I don't know what they cost but it might be worth looking into. I know that I would if that happened to me.

Good luck.
