    Published the arrested photographs online is unethical business, it is damaging the lives of individuals and in turn the society. To in cash the past of anyone is not fair, and specially mugshots of stars, stars are the inspiration for everyone, kids by watching their stars want to be like them, but these mugshots damaging the image of these stars in life of their fans, it ultimately effect the society, when these celebrities will come out for some social cause no one will then trust and listen them because of their negative image created by their mugshots. Online posting of the Mugshots should be stopped and already published mugshots must also be removed and removemushots(dot)com is doing a fantastic job in this regard, it is helping to maintain the reputation and image of mugshots victims by removing their mugshots from world wide web.
