Crime Informer

Crime Informer is a website that publishes arrest records and mugshots, primarily focusing on individuals in Oregon. The platform provides up-to-date crime reports and safety alerts, aiming to keep residents informed about criminal activities in their neighborhoods. It aggregates public data obtained from law enforcement agencies, making it easily accessible to anyone. The exposure of this sensitive information, including names and booking photos, poses significant privacy risks such as doxxing, harassment, and reputational damage, even though all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This readily available criminal information can be misused by bad actors for purposes of stalking or fraud. To protect themselves, individuals should be cautious about the personal information they share online. They can also request to have their records removed from such databases, a service Crime Informer claims to offer for free within 30 days.
