Every person has the right to inspect or copy any public record made or received in connection with the official business of any public body, officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf.
Sealing or expunging a record doesn't completely make mugshot(s) disappear. In the age of the Internet, many people are disappointed to learn that the mugshot and arrest record cannot be scrubbed from online or print articles in the local newspapers. The courts have no authority to direct or order the erasure of these private sector postings which are largely protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Most county and municipal law enforcement agencies post the mugshot photographs on their websites. Many data mining companies will scour the public records in Florida and post the arrest booking photographs on their private websites. Publishing these photographs on the internet can cause many problems for the person arrest even if they are later exonerated of the charges.
Most employers will conduct an internet search of a potential employee. Unfortunately, the search engines, like Google, Bing, Yahoo and many more, often return the mug shot photo published by the data mining company as one of the top results.
