If
you are an inhabitant of North Carolina and facing a legal charge,
you may get good news soon and that from your state government. North
Carolina is planning to introduce a law to help people facing legal
charges. Government is not planning to remove the charges
against you, but it is planning to provide a protection against
commercial use of mugshots.
If
the state introduces this law, it would be the ninth state of United
States of America which would have taken steps to protect the human
rights of those inhabitants who have faced legal charges.
Once
government introduces this law, you can send notices to those
websites which are using your mugshots and other details for
commercial purposes. You can ask them to remove the mugshots and
other details about you within 15 days. And in case they don’t take
action on your notice and do not remove the mugshots, you can sue
them for compensation. But, the law would not entitle you to send
notices to news sites and government sites that have published
information about your offence.
However,
you need not worry, as you can also get rid of the news and
government sites that have published your details on the internet.
