Disclaimer: Don't Be a Creep
Before we get started, I want to be clear: stalking is illegal and creepy. If you're looking for someone's mugshot because you're obsessed with them, or you're planning something nefarious, stop right there. This post is for those of you who have legitimate reasons, like verifying someone's identity or checking up on a potential roommate.
Where to Start Your Mugshot Safari
1. Official Law Enforcement Websites:
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
- Sheriff's Departments: Every county in California has a sheriff's department, and many of them have online databases of inmates. These are usually the most reliable sources.
- Police Departments: Larger cities often have their own police departments with inmate databases.
- California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR): If you think someone might be in prison, CDCR's inmate locator is a good place to start.
2. Online Public Records Databases:
- There are several websites that aggregate public records, including arrest records and mugshots. These can be a good starting point, but be aware that they might charge a fee.
3. Social Media (With Caution):
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
- Sometimes, people are really bad at keeping their past hidden. A quick social media search might reveal something interesting. But remember, people can easily fake their online identities, so take everything with a grain of salt.
Tips for Your Mugshot Hunt
- Be specific: The more information you have (full name, date of birth, location), the better your chances of finding what you're looking for.
- Be patient: Mugshots aren't always immediately available. It might take some time for them to appear online.
- Be careful: As mentioned before, stalking is illegal. Respect people's privacy.
