The following website https://thegeorgiagazette.com/ scans mugshot photos from local jails that are posted for short term. The they post them forever on their site. In turn its on Google search forever as well linking to their website. It's for all arrest no matter of people was guilty or not and minor charges etc. They also doctor the frame of the picture up with blue lights. It's purely done for them to profit off advertisements on their website. This could cause people to lose jobs. They also have a Facebook Page called The Georgia Gazette where they post peoples mugshots and makes fun of their photos.
Desired outcome: Shut their website down
I recently requested the Georgia Gazette remove my teens mugshots from their website because the charges were dismissed. We followed the protocol for requesting removal of his private information according the GA law. About 2-3 weeks later, I received notice from the Georgia Gazette that the information was removed and that if the information continued to be indexed by google after 2 weeks, to contact them.
My teens information continues to show up on google search under the Georgia Gazette and I reached out to them in email asking to remove the information from being pulled up. Although I was very frustrated in general because I believe companies like this should never be allowed to post arrest information or arrest mugshots particularly of minors and especially when cases have been dismissed. It is irresponsible and shows a complete lack or respect for privacy. The responder from the Georgia Gazette was very immature and responded that "normally he would, but no thanks" ...in other words, he/she normally would remove the content but in my case, they chose not to. This is not only upsetting but displays a complete disregard for my teens privacy and or for human life. It is sad that whoever the responder was took my email so personal that they made it clear they refused to do what they normally would because they didn't like the tone of my email...I am a parent...a frustrated and concerned one, and it is systems like this that truly makes it hard to have normalcy in a world where nothing is private anymore. Disgusting and unprofessional behavior on the part of the person responding to my emails. He/She even sent an "lol" as if they find this entire situation funny...Disgusting!...
Hello,
We can confirm that the photograph of Phoenix Ngamariju has been removed from Google.
Please understand that we have no control over Google's search index.
Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.
Please contact me, asabetxo@gmail.com
You also purposefully added the victims name to continue to defame them here. Thank you for the screenshot to show the charachter of the Georgia Gazette.
DID THEY REALLY USE THEIR NAMES HERE? OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD! I’ve sent you as email as well. They have truly ruined my life. I got lucky my last manager wanted a clarification on what happened and gave me a job after explaining. I have been jobless for 2 years. My credit is screwed and they won’t take my image off after letting them know it’s dismissed. They are truly evil.
I sent you an email.
I am currently going through the same thing with my son. It’s caused severe depression to the point where I have to literally check on my son every night, several times throughout the night, just to make sure he’s still breathing. It’s heartbreaking. My son was an innocent bystander in the incident he was arrested for and now his life is in shambles because of this one website. All my son did wrong that night was accept a ride from a friend. A student took a snapshot of the mugshot on Georgia Gazette’s website and circulated it and he became a laughing stock at his University to the point where he couldn’t handle it and left school. My son wrote an published a book at 17 years old, received an academic scholarship to college and now he’s depressed, does not socialize at all, stuck in his room, all because of the mugshot published on the Georgia Gazette website. Do these people know what it feels to be on the edge daily because of child showing signs of committing suicide?

Thank you for the free advertising.
no problem... :) Welp! Now you know what is in the dark have come to the light.
Hope it helps your page cause it dang sure ain’t helping your LinkedIn or Tinder 🧐
You do have control over the search index, you're lying.
All you have to do is set the meta tag on the page to "no-index"
The listing would then be removed from Google. I encourage everyone to sue for non-removal as the "no control over Google" line is an absolute lie.
Please feel free to direct any and all lawsuits regarding non-removal to me directly at attorney@thegeorgiagazette.com. also, please make sure that you review the Georgia attorney generals opinion on Mugshot websites. there are only eight exceptions where it is required to remove somebody’s mug shot from a for-profit mug shot site. my client is in full compliance with Georgia law, and if you can provide any instance where he has not removed a mug shot when it’s been legally required. After reviewing the applicable law, please contact me immediately, and I will make sure that it is removed.
Georgia Gazette is complete exploitation of many innocent people. They post mugshots of petty charges such as window tent violations, and seat belt infractions despite charges being dismissed. It can take weeks or months to have photos removed. By that time your reputation may be severely damaged as a result of the sites despicable practices.
The registered agent of The Georgia Gazette, LLC, which is also public knowledge and can be found on the Georgia Secretary of State Corporations search The registered agent also has a Facebook page.
Please contact me asabetxo@gmail.com
We do have a page on our website dedicated to removals and we complete dozens of removals each day.
We encourage anyone with questions or feedback to please reach out to support@thegeorgiagazette.com or by phone [protected].
You DON'T allow anyone removal of their mugshot and information UNTIL it is ALL dealt with by the courts which is way too late in most cases. People are often arrested and ruined for something they are NOT guilty of and yet you make them wait until it is adjudicated by the courts which is sometimes more than a year. You are an absolutely despicable company preying on people at their most lowest times.
I do PRAY that our Maker deals with you justly and righteously when your very tragic time is up. You damage society and decent citizens for a few pennies. Shameful.

I was arrested in the middle of a domestic abuse situation where I was lied on. My ex husband recant and told the judge he lied. My charges were dropped and I told the gazette this. Now they are saying they need proof and to go to the courts to get it. I can’t get to the courts and I’m just waiting on my attorney to get in contact with them. People are using this fake acccusation to harrass me and it feels like the gazette is just allowing it. I’m a veteran with severe depression and I just can’t deal with this. It’s taking a toll on my mental and the pain from this is just redoing everything that was done to me. Revictimazing me :(
You are as interested in removing peoples photos as you are in having all of your teeth pulled. You are a liar and a petty human being who seems to find great joy in doing harm to others. You are a known alcoholic with several DUI charges against him. He's a despicable person. Really.
I actually still have your amazing email when I begged and gave you proof I was a innocent person. Your exact words was "don't go to jail and it wouldn't happen". Family and the victim contacted you begging to take it down... Even told you I had attempted suicide due to the humiliation you did to me while I was a innocent person. You refused till 6 months later after so much damage had been done once the courts got to my case. You people are truly sick. By the way, sure you remember the heart child that also suffered along with me because of you... So much stress on the minor child that his heart and liver both are now failing... He should had never been exposed and making up garbage that his innocent mother was innocent to all the friends he has that seen my beloved mugshot.

giving the general public personal information about my client in order to pay him a visit and enact their own form of justice is against the law.

I really hate this for you, and like thousands of other people the owner matthew sayle have destroyed peoples lives. Please contact me at [edited] so I can give you a lot of valuable information. I also have a news reporter that would love to speak to you who is doing a story on the georgia gazette on tv in a few weeks.
exposing somebody’s personal information as to their home address and encouraging an angry mob to visit them is against the law. Please cease and desist this conduct immediately. Doxxing is illegal. If you have any questions, or if you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me at attorney@thegeorgiagazette.com.
hi Mr. mendelson, I feel like you need to update all of your complaints, as your information was removed from the website prior to your interview with WSB-TV . further, you were never entitled to have your photos and information removed from the website. As you most certainly did not appear for your initial ticket, you were guilty of your underlying offense. You were not adjudicated innocent, nor was your case dropped. You did not meet any of the eight exceptions that the legislature lists that would require The Georgia Gazette to remove your photograph. however, because it was a minor offense Mr. Sayle did remove your information and gave you a second chance under his second chance policy which he established to help people exactly like you have their information removed when the Georgia legislature feels like there’s no need for that.
it seems that your issue is more with the legislation, then with Mr. Sayle. As he is not breaking any laws, I suggest you direct your complaints to your local politicians, and seek to have the law amended.
if you need any additional assistance or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at attorney@thegeorgiagazette.com.
Mr. mendelson, the caption is given directly from the sheriffs office. So again, I believe your complaint would be with the sheriffs office, and how they list their charges. The Georgia Gazette posts the charges, verbatim, from the sheriff. Mr. Sayle does not doctor or change or try to make the charges look like anything other than exactly what was given to him by the sheriff. please direct this complaint to the sheriffs office and have them amend the way that they label their booking photographs and associated charges. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at attorney atthegeorgiagazette.com.
I really hope that the valuable information that you were passing out to every stranger on the internet is not my clients home address.
again, encouraging an angry mom to visit somebody at their home address or disclosing personal information about somebody with the intent to harm them is against the law. Please cease and desist this behavior. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at attorney@thegeorgiagazette.com.
Matthew Channing Sayle have literally tried to built a career off of destroying peoples lives posting their mugshots online. On his website he is trying to use the law that was put in place GA Code § 35-1-19 which have a disclosure of arrest of booking photos prohibted. If you on his website under (removals) he states the law from may 6, 2013 stating: if a individual meets the criteria the commerical website have to remove their photo. The thing is the law was updated in 2014 to (GA Code § [protected]) which means he is breaking the law. First off, the mugshots he is hacking from the county jails never (are public) so he is stealing government property, and trying to use the mugshots on his website like he is the owner. Even when the law was put in place in 2013 he says (public mugshots), and when you are arrested in the state of georgia the mugshots are never posted on the county jail websites. They are only kept internally so he is committing identity theft, cybercrime, theft, and online hacking. Even though he have a commerical website the mugshots never became public so he have no right to even post the photos on his website. He literally have over (70 county jail) mugshot photos on his website where you can click the link to go to each county to see the mugshots. He also have a youtube page, and a georgia crime magazine online which all link back to the georgia gazette. Since noone else are posting people mugshots in the state of georgia he took it upon himself to do it for monetary gain. The only thing is he is breaking the law and being investigated with authorities right now. What he is doing is most definitely unethical and illegal.
this is completely false and inaccurate. You need to go reread that statute. It says that the release of booking photos if two things happen. 1. The photos are published online and 2. The website charges people to have the photos removed. If you were not violating these two portions of the statue, then you can freely post the mug shots as long as you remove them for free when somebody is entitled to a lawful removal under the law. Accusing my client of computer fraud for theft or alleging, that he somehow steals. This information from the sheriffs offices is completely false and defamatory, and that does violate the law. Please cease and desist spreading these false rumors. All records are obtained via a lawful open records request which any citizen including yourself can make, to receive these booking photographs and associated charges.
if you would like to discuss this further, or if you have any additional questions, please feel free to email me at attorney@thegeorgiagazette.com.

Hi,
I would love to jump on board. After requesting that he remove mine and my husbands mugshots, and telling him that he just cost us a very lucartive business opportunity, he said "oh, I'm sorry" We exchanged several in which he threatened to do a story on us and our catering business. Shortly thereafter, he put my picture under the Gazette on Google, out of all the mugshots he could have chosen, he picked mine to be his poster child. so when you Google my name, that is what comes up.
We don't even have a court date and he says then the pictures will stay up until we are aquited.
Please Help.

You would love my story. Happened November 2022 & I'm just now recovering from everything thanks to my local police department & the beloved Georgia Gazette with the many emails with so much proof I was innocent & what did he do? He reposted my mugshot along with the narrative. Even sent evidence of things that happened after & they was completely heartless about it almost causing me to literally lose my life. I lost my job. Lost my image. I was completely humiliated. Charges have since been dropped & the cop (victim) had went back on his original story. I was innocent but still paid very dearly for the abuse done to me by a cop (victim), by the local law enforcement & the beloved Georgia Gazette.

Matthew Sayle runs the Georgia Gazette for one reason and one reason only and that's for money. He originally planned on posting mugshots on Reddit but failed to do so. The were also plans for a Georgia Gazette Twitter. The reason they don't exist is because he cannot generate revenue on either one of those platforms. His website is run via godaddy, so everytime you guys click a link from the Georgia Gazette on Facebook, he profits. He takes pride in his website, kknowingly extorts thousands of people everyday for money. Post DUI mugshots when he has one himself.
In Georgia, the law states
In 2018, Georgia passed HB 6051 (also known as “the mugshot bill”), which amended existing legislation to restrict who can request or possess an individual’s mugshot. The new law prohibits anyone from requesting or possessing a mugshot unless they are a specifically designated party—namely, a criminal defendant themselves or their legal representative. This means that certain parties—such as employers or members of the general public—are no longer allowed to access an individual’s mugshots without permission from that individual.
Because Mr. Sayle has been posting mugshots of thousands of Georgians dating back from 4 years ago, he is not only putting them at risk for identity theft,
but he is also putting himself at risk. He can end up getting hurt or have his reputation ruined if he messes with the wrong person.
It may be true that arrest records are public, but there is a reason why police don't post mugshots and that's simply because
they are not allowed to. Mr. Sayle is putting Georgians in danger, the wrong person could take the mugshot and use it to open bank accounts, credit cards, take out loans etc.
It is not in the public's interest to have these mugshots online. I could understand posting if the person was still under custody, but the Georgia Gazette is not doing that.
The Georgia Gazette exists to make fun of people and to make money. We need this website to go down. It has ruined many lives, myself included and I want to raise awareness.
If there is any lawsuits regarding the Georgia Gazette, I would like to join those.
Please email me at [edited] for valuable information on the georgia gazette and to join the class action lawsuit.

Please online forever and help get the mugshot law 35-1-19 changed with the state legislators here:
Just another person that Matthew has ruined. I hope and pray you all get him taken down so he won't ruin another person's life.
Karma sure is making its rounds. It’s about time. He divided and allowed racial division in Richmond Hill Ga for years. I can tell you he’s a bad person and doesn’t care about people. He went and removed all of the black and white people who dared to disagree with what he did or what he says on the god awful fb group he had. Screenshots are still around.

If you date a prisoner, I will have an opinion about it lol
You where convicted of dui yourself, been arrested, and have a mugshot like everybody else. Plus you have friends that stay going to jail. See how stupid you are? Now talk with sense dummy you sound like you look. RETARDED.
One of Matthew Sayle friends that use to work for the richmond hill admin page by the name of [edited] sent me the admin chat of Matthew Sayle and several people in their community degrading, humiliating, and talking about people that have been arrested. She told me that she have tons of proof and chat logs that show matthew talking about their friends, and co workers. Matthew has been a menace to their community for years and everyone ONLY deal with him because they are scared he will try to destroy their reputation if they ever got in trouble. Matthew try to make people inferior of him since he can destroy their life with a button on a keyboard. There is an attorney by the name of Beth Beasley that [edited] said have over 300 pages on matthew sayle that was sent from her friend [edited].
We all know that Matthew Sayle have a account on here called the Georgia gazette where he have replied to a few comments a few months ago. So he do get notifications Everytime that a new comment is posted on here. He don’t care about any of these comments nor the Richmond hill community where he live outing him. He found a way to finesse the system to make money off of exposing peoples mugshots online so that is all he will ever care about. HA! Matthew you’re a known psycho path, liar, manipulator, narcissist, and NOBODY in Richmond hill like you! They know you’re the devil in sheep’s clothing so they all keep you close. You’re running the Richmond hill community admin page along with tons of other pages on Facebook dragging people when you’re a criminal yourself. Here is the email thread and proof of what Matthew sayle and many people where he live is doing.
Since a lot of people will never get justice, his own community is actually allowing him to be wreckless as they entertain his madness, and people think this [censored] is a game. Here is the email thread so Matthew Sayle just know nothing is a secret anymore. :)

Yeah, whatever. Way to ruin everything with your ego. Everyone was doing their part. Petition goal met, people reviewing and sharing. Why did you go psycho? You would have gotten all the accolades your little ego required if you'd just followed though.
We were right there with you. Everyone is super perplexed by your strange departure. Ending the petition was just awful.
Ha Matthew this is [edited] replying to me please make sure you NEVER DELETE HIS MUGSHOT! :) He is mad, because I said I was no longer going to fight to get you shut down. lol [edited] you KNOW the REAL reason why, I'm no longer advocating for you guys anymore. STOP LYING! Matthew please pay for the class action attorney everyone so desperately need to shut you down, because they can not afford it. THEY THINK A ATTORNEY IS GOING TO TAKE THIS CASE FOR FREE & I'm going to keep helping them for another 3 months. OH NO I AM NOT! You guys need to get your own money to hire a attorney, and quit co depending on someone like me to help assist you with everything. [edited] YOUR MUGSHOT WILL NOT BE REMOVED AT THIS POINT since Matthew Sayle know who you are now lol I suggest you sit down in a corner somewhere before, I expose your emails too. :)
He went psycho because his name is Pratik Patel and he is using you to get his own mugshot in Chatham County removed. You all are his pawns, and we aren't going anywhere.
Now if anyone else have something to say you have my email address, because I surely will SPEAK MY MIND WITH NO HESITATION to anyone of you. Don't get exposed on here, and have me tell Matthew Sayle who you really are behind these names. Don't forget that, I've been talking to hundreds of you for over 3 months so I'm VERY familiar with conversations we all have had since April. I have TONS of emails with your real names attached so don't get out of line trying to talk crazy on here. I will post your emails in 2.5 seconds if you want to try me. I also suggest you don't talk mess on that [edited] facebook page neither, because I can see everything you are saying on there too. You better STAY IN YOUR PLACE before I REVEAL your face. ok? :)
Pratik Patel, you're still mad that I posted your DUI arrest?
Well why wouldn't he be? You’re profiting off their DUI arrest when you plead guilty to a DUI yourself. Not everyone had the same outcome as you. Others beat their case. But what about you?Hypocrite much? Don’t tell me you would take pride in someone else profiting off your arrest? Making between 15k to 20k a month off other peoples’ mistakes? What happened to innocent until proven guilty. Your website makes it seem as if everyone you post is guilty until proven innocent. And according to Channel 2. You make it seem as if everyone you post is guilty of a potential bs charge. You act like you wouldn’t be mad yourself. Bro you are pushing 40. It’s no wonder your wife left you and you’re paying child support for not one but four kids?.
Not only are you a criminal but you’re a clown yourself because your only source of income is your petty little mugshot website. Pathetic. Lol. Let me know when you get an actual income where you don’t have to rely on other peoples” misfortunes for income.
Tell me why you were afraid of Channel 2? If you were so proud of your website, Then why did you hide when they came to your house. Tell them that you were so proud of your website. I could understand you posting murders” or actual felons, but why post petty misdemeanors. Misdemeanors that won’t matter in 10 years? Where was the coverage for your arrest 10 years ago? Your mugshot was under wraps until now. But who’s fault it? Yours. Idiot.
This is hilarious. Keep going.
It’s hilarious that you know you’re in the wrong and your in denial and that you’re going to deal with the consequences of your actions. You think you’re doing good for the state of Georgia. But what about the people who don’t even have a criminal record that you posted, who potentially face identity theft because of you. I don’t think you see the bigger picture, but then again, you are a grown man who is almost 40. You’re dumb af.
I do understand that, on rare occasions, people are booked by mistake. Our website helps place a spotlight on these errors, and we'll be the first ones to hold the wrongdoers accountable.
Our existence makes law enforcement do a much more thorough job because the public is always watching.
Liar & a joke. I was innocent, gave proof & you still refused to take mine down. You then went & got the narrative & posted it with my address on it. My mugshot stayed for 6 months till I proved I was innocent. Gave you a million reasons to remove it prior but you don't have heart & got off on it. Hmm, believe my comments from your trolls was "it was just a [censored] spankin"... your exact words was don't do the crime & this wouldn't happen then changed later to stop harassing us. Lol, garbage... you are garbage.
Law Enforcement could care less about mugshots. Unless it’s a felony why would they care? Everyone makes mistakes so why have that on the internet forever? You made a mistake too, but because you extort thousands of people per day, you deserve to be exposed. Your mugshot got leaked. i’m sure you’re not proud of that but again, you did to yourself. I have a friend who’s in law enforcement and they could careless about misdemeanors.
Misdemeanors to me are just simple mistakes.Everyday you’re costing someone a potential job opportunity because of your website. You embarrass them and you profit off of them. Every mugshot as ads spreaded around the article. I thought your website was ment to spread awareness. Whole time it’s preventing people from getting potential jobs. The goal is not to ruin people’s lives, but to protect and serve. But to me, it seems like you’re wanting to ruin other peoples lives for your own financial gain. Not everyone is perfect. To me. You’re a clown for relying on other peoples mishaps for income. Don’t be surprised when you get caught up.
Pratik Patel, why are you still upset?
https://thegeorgiagazette.com/chatham/pratik-patel/
You lie so much that you have convinced yourself and lying to people that that IS ME. lol You have tons of enemies let’s say thousands of enemies that you choose to LIE to say it’s someone that is a foreigner? How do you know it’s not a another race? Like what make you pick this man out of everyone else to lie that it is me? Oh I know why he must’ve gave you hell like I did and many others so since you DO NOT KNOW WHO I AM. You are just gonna pick a random person you’ve been beefing with too. lol You are literally making yourself look like a damn fool saying it’s a RANDOM person that don’t nobody else know BUT YOU. It don’t matter who I am nor who any of these other people are. Everyone have a issue with you and saying it’s a person just cause you want to pin it on someone is crazy. You are racist [censored] [censored] too, because you literally picked a foreigner due to the fact people think they are scammers anyways lol This man most definitely targeted you, because you’ve said his name multiple times now posted his mugshot. LOL So FAT BOY do you know any other people behind every single comment on here and everywhere online too? You’re literally on every forum online where tons of people are talking about you and the Georgia gazette. There are tons of people on those facebook county crime pages that you have posted their emails, attorney letters, charges, when they have contacted you. You literally had beef with people especially this year REAL BAD where there are links showing you posting your email exchange and people suing you. How do you know I’m not one of those people? Or what about the neighbor you sued down the street from your house on 60 smoke rise rd Richmond hill ga? You tried to sue your neighbor over some [censored] and the judge dismissed it. How do you know I’m not him? What about the people who businesses you tried to destroy in Richmond hill because they didn’t be on your side when drama hit the fan where you live. So you tried to turn people against each other and tried to destroy peoples businesses. How do you know I’m not one of them? What about the THOUSANDS of people who life you destroy daily and who have reached out to you for you only to humiliate them then talk crazy to them? How do you know I’m not one of them? How do you know I’m not one of your wife friends or family members that HATE YOUR [censored]? See Matt you have so many people that despise and hate you that you have NO IDEA who any of us are unless you know a name that is attached to a mugshot. Your information is public record so anyone can get it well MOST OF IT. lol You live behind a computer screen and hardly ever come out of the house.
HA EVERYONE MATTHEW WIFE DIVORCED HIS [censored] SO THE NEWS REPORTER WENT TO THE HOUSE THAT WAS SHOWING ON TAX ASSESSOR when he bought it a few years ago. Matt is currently renting a home at 97 BRENNAN DRIVE RICHMOND HILL, GA 31324. He is always in the room in the back of the house that have a little window in it where he have a brown desk and 4 computers on it. STOP BY TO HOLLER AT HIM FACE TO FACE! LET US SEE JUST HOW BAD YOU ARE MATTHEW SAYLE WHEN PEOPLE COME TO VISIT YOU.
See Matt you was talking all that mess about nobody being able to find you and lying like that yogurt shop is where you rent a office when that is a LIE! You moved out of the house with your wife and are living at this address! THESE ARE FACTS! You hardly ever leave the house and are scared to go anywhere. Don’t you know WE know more than you think?
EVERYONE since he wanna play like he is a bad boy go show him just how bad he is at 97 BRENNAN DRIVE RICHMOND HILL, GA 31324. :)
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Again you’re pushing 40. And again you’re only screwing yourself over…
This is who you guys are dealing with. Pamela Harris is actually Pratik Patel. He is using you all as pawns to get his own mugshot removed.
You are so dumb that [edited] sent me all of your chat log from your admin page and OUTED you so I could expose you. She was so scared that you would do something to her and now she sent you emails I sent her lol YOU LOOK PRETTY RETARDED that your so called friend came to me about you and when I put the information online. Now you are trying to make me look crazy when you are the crazy one. This is gaslighting and manipulation at its finest you guys. This dude is really RETARDED. You can literally see the 1 of our email threads and what [edited] was telling me about you. YOU ARE REALLY SLOW. OH! YEH! I meant every single word that, I emailed her too. Thousands of people feel the same way about you fat boy.
LADIES & GENTLEMAN MATTHEW SAYLE HAVE FINALLY ENTERED THE CHAT. LOL [edited] in 2010. We have been waiting on you and thank you for joining us. Now be a good boy and answer every other comment on here.
You are blackmailing people. And threatening to hurt peoples families.
[edited] is this how you want to do quality control after, you literally dimed out your friend? LMAO Let me post the emails with me saying you guys need to get him arrested and set him up. You then told me that you where game and where getting people on board to help set Matthew up. Here is a few of the emails here let me keep screenshotting though... Matthew there are so many people that was getting ready to GET YOU OUT OF THAT CITY! THESE PEOPLE WANT YOU OUT OF RICHMOND HILL, GA ASAP!
[edited] you had just posted on this same page (tragic dreams) you made the other day that you was down with us. Now you are switching sides? Here is your comment about your bestie Matt on here just a few days ago. It was just all good what happened? lol YOU FOUND ME AND TOLD ME WHO HAD BEEN WATCHING THIS FORUM ON MATT REMEMBER?
Thank you for posting this! I had been looking for it.
No more shots for me lol
Chatham County Crime*
Dude these are your friends til the end and I have tons of people on facebook that are your friends that have reached out to me too. Some live in richmond hill, went to school with you, know you from around the way, and a lot of people that want to see you go down in the worse way. You're so welcome... Just know that you HAVE NO FRIENDS and to be honest at this point I would be scared to death if I was you. The people that are close to you really want to see you OUT OF HERE LIKE GONE BYE BYE! The scary thing is YOUR FRIENDS ALL have come to me telling me your business and exposing you. DAMN!
[edited], a bit late to play victim.
You fell into Pratik Patel's trap. Nobody to blame but yourself.
What trap? lol DID YOU NOT READ THE EMAILS? This is only 3 months of me talking to people verses people that have known you for years. DO NOT BE STUPID MATTHEW you know the [censored] you are doing is messed up and the way you treat people that are your so called friends is even worse! You have been a monster to people for years in that town and they don't want you there. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MUGSHOTS, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN A DETRIMENT TO YOUR COMMUNITY FOR YEARS. That is a big difference, and you really are a horrible person. They needed a way to get you exposed and they told me they have been trying to get you gone for a long time. I was just the fire to ignite everything and it was long overdue for everybody. THE IS WAY BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. I'm nothing to worry about, but the people in your town YOU BETTER WORRY ABOUT THEM AT THIS POINT!
Could not care less. Keep up the good work!
People in hell want ice water.
OK. YOU WIN. All you're going to do is act like a little boy. NOW YOUR MUGSHOT IS GOING TO BE EXPOSED OVER THE ENTIRE INTERNET NOW. BYE BYE
So?
i just looked it up since i don't know Georgia law and I found this. Per Title 35, Chapter 1, 35-1-19 no mug shots for booking can be released by law enforcement via social media platforms. As for public it is Public Records BUT this also maybe illegal if they are innocent [defamation] and also Expunged records are sealed so that means NOT PUBLIC.
Though it depends on state, county and city laws for what is illegal or not.
WHO ARE YOU? Don't you know we all know the law in georgia? smdh
"who are you?" another user of a PUBLIC complaints site.
"know we all know the law in georgia"? No i do not, from what i have read on this whole complaint thread its been back and forth " it is illegal" and "no it is not illegal" talk reads like some dont know.
As for The Georgia Gazette [dot] com i do not think they know the law and need to reread it and comply with the law if they are indeed violating it. Just let it go and move on.
What exact law are we "not complying with"?
Don't be silly.
I will let you handle this since you are the expert in posting mugshots
Thank you! First intelligent thing you've done thus far.
:) Now tell him about the law, and tell us about you being convicted of dui. Why you choose to post mugshots and why do you think it is ok to do what you are doing while destroying thousands of people life? WE ARE LISTENING...
Would you live to interview me on YouTube live? I'll answer whatever questions you have.
NOPE! YOU SHOULD'VE GOT INTERVIEWED WITH WSBTV WHEN THEY CAME TO YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR FRIEND YOGURT SHOP YOU ARE USING AS YOUR ADDRESS TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE. They literally kept emailing you and you declined so you should've been on tv answering questions.
I just sent you a message check it asap!
I agree he has taken things to far
And give them editing powers? Nah.
We agreed to do it live. The offer is still on the table.
My guy you’ve still got my mugshot on your site and my case was dismissed before it ever hit the court room which means to comply with your removal procedures I as a single mom have to drive down to the DAs office, present my license, and request in person, or mail you a certified letter.
Did you request removal?
I did.
No one wants to see Krusty Kurly Koward. The people have been traumatized enough FFS!
please read the attorney generals website regarding for-profit booking photo sites. There are eight exceptions where someone would be legally entitled to a removal. The Georgia Gazette follows strictly and removes any and all request made by people who qualify for removal when they do cells be a certified mail, return receipt requested with the required information which is also listed on that page.
This is Matthew Sayle the owner of the georgia gazette [edited]! He is a convicted criminal, and plead guilty to the crime. He is exposing thousands of mugshots online daily, but for some reason FORGOT TO POST HIS OWN CRIMINAL HISTORY
LET US LEAVE THIS AS A TOP COMMENT AND EVERYBODY REPOST, SHARE, AND POST HIS MUGSHOT OVER THE ENTIRE INTERNET. :) I've done a lot for hundreds of you, but this is TOP TIER.
On god he a dummy.
I used to work wit him too, he creepy as hell
He a goofy he think he doing something but he only screwing himself over
No, you didn't.
ha matt they are emailing your mugshot out like hot cakes in washington county, Illinois. lol They don't care about a FOIA neither you can just call, and the lady is sending it in 2.5 seconds. I thought the other picture they sent me was it, but it was your drivers license photo. I'll keep that one to though lol
he is so sad.
If you live in richmond hill, ga why haven't you guys done something about it as of yet?
Why do you look so sad in your mugshot matt? LMAO!
What are they going to do?
Shame on you for having that much audacity and being that ugly creepy 🤡
i agree. Homie done f*cked wit too many peeps. he racist af also
You're one to talk lol
https://thegeorgiagazette.com/whitfield/gabriel-skelly/
Two wrongs don’t make a right. At the end of the day. Who’s gettinf screwed over? You are. You have local news coverage. Why would you try to expose someone, when you’re the one who’s in bigger trouble. Idiot.
This is not going to help your lawsuit. Dummy. Not only is this unprofessional, but this is immature on your end. People will screenshot this and if you ever get into legal trouble, your screenshots will last forever. Who fault is that? Yours. Stupid.
What did I do that is illegal?
Putting people and yourself at risk for identity theft you meat head. While you think you’re not doing anything illegal, do you not realize that we’re in 2023? People can use software and with the mugshots YOU post, they can impersonate someone and open up bank accounts, credit cards, get loans, etc Because you’ve gotten exposed lately, it’s only a matter of time before the same thing happens to you. You’re SSN is online, your whole background check is online, your drivers license got leaked. I don’t expect you to be in tune with how people get their identities stolen these days, but I will say you’re doing the community more harm than good.
If anything, don’t be surprised if a skilled hacker gets access to your godaddy and your adsense account at some point, you’re an old man i don’t expect you to understand how serious this is. At the end of the day, you put yourself in a terrible position. The fact you’re not even from Georgia to begin with and you think you can just profit off other people’s mistakes is crazy. Tell the public how you were on forums bragging about how many impressions the Georgia Gazette brings you. Or tell the people that you were making fun of other people’s mugshots.
You may not charge people to take down their mugshots, but i can see this happening to you plus more in the future.

Legally, I can’t do nothing. He posted my friend’s mugshot and it still remains up even after their charges were dismissed, this is how I stumbled upon this whole situation to begin with. It seems as if 100’s of people are in the same boat as my friend. Regardless, I don’t agree with his website at all. I think it’s ethically and morally wrong. I can clown ole Matty all I want, and even though he’s from my city, I have better things to do then to go to his house and harass a lonely old man. I’d probably go to jail and have him post my mugshot. I’m not doing all that. We have lawyers for a reason bro. If the state rep even said Matthew is in the wrong, and many people are coming out against him, it’s only a matter of time before he gets what he deserves. If he was really trying to help the community, then ads wouldnt be on the website.
