Wake County to Remove 400,000 Mugshots from Public Access

Wake County plans to shut down its online mugshot portal this month, removing access to booking photos from the past two decades.
Mugshots will be available through two public kiosks in Raleigh, limiting online access.
This move aligns with a national trend of states tightening restrictions on mugshot releases to protect individuals' privacy.
Critics argue that removing online access could hinder transparency and public record availability.
