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.
