One North Carolina county takes down mugshots – and outrage ensues
- A North Carolina county plans to remove around 400,000 mugshots from its public website, ending online access to booking photos collected over the past two decades.
- Wake County, which includes the state capital of Raleigh, is expected to shut down its online mugshot portal, likely this month, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
- The photos will instead be available through two public kiosks in Raleigh, while residents can still search criminal court records through the state’s database.
