Takedown and Update Policy

We do not takedown articles:

• Corrections to articles may be released by police services and these will be published in a subsequent article leaving the original article un-changed
• Corrections to errors we have made in the processing and publishing of articles will be corrected in the original article
• For common occurences we will eventually (time period to be determined) archive posts to a subdomain that does not have analytics or tracking and with indications for search engines not to index
• Subdomains are also ranked low by search engines and will generally not be shown in search results
• Pages will be redirected to the archive using HTTP status 302 which will reduce search engine ranking

We do not accept third party submissions for updates:

• You must submit documentation yourself
• You must respond to any inquiry or followup question we may have
• This may result in an update being inserted above the original post, which will remain intact

All submissions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and there is no guarantee a submission will result in an update.

Unlike some sites, which we call extortion sites:

• We never alter the subject or the url to include your name if it was not already included in the original police press release
• We never charge money for submissions
• By not taking down information we are making cash for takedown demands less valuable
• We feel should never pay these sites or related services any money
