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
ok guys. Someone from the police dept had emailed me Matthew Sayle drivers license picture by mistake, and that wasn't his mugshot. They got me in touch with the right department and here is his mugshot and arresting information. If you want to get your own personal mugshot emailed to you just contact the washington county, Illinois sheriff dept at: [protected] and ask for the (RECORDS DEPT). Or you can just email Brittany Bateman at 889@washingtonco.illinois.gov she will gladly email it to you.
Those sideburns!
Many gray hairs ago lol
yup. you are still ugly with that warped shape head lol Now go ahead and post it on the georgia gazette on the main page. Live in your truth and share your mugshot on your website like a good boy. :)
Didn't happen in Georgia, or I would.
If I'm ever arrested in a county we cover, I promise to treat it the same as any other.
Screenshotted and saved. So if you get arrested before TGG goes down, I’m expecting to see you on there.
Consider it done.
Ha guys MATTHEW SAYLE IS CURRENTLY LIVING AT 97 BRENNAN DRIVE RICHMOND HILL, GA 31324. He drive a small red mini car and he’s ALWAYS AT HOME. The name of the community is WATERGRASS HOMES & here is a screenshot on Google to get directions to go directly to go see him.
JUST GOOGLE THE ADDRESS TO THE COMMUNITY & DRIVE TO 97 BRENNAN DRIVE RICHMOND HILL, GA 31324. :) ttyl Matt lol
red mini car...you're not foreign at all haha
I fail to recognize the importance of this site.. Protecting the public? or profiting? The fact the site is a giant database of mugshots slapped with ads shows its true intentions.
I can understand informing the public of violent felons and such, but posting the mugshot of people that can be generally good people that just made a mistake (theft, DUIS, low tier Misdemeanors), and ruin their reputation based on a google search is pretty scummy.
Its rather a shame what this site is doing/has done. I cant imagine the number of job opportunities missed, relationships, etc. based on the damage done to this site. It also speaks volume to the state of GA for allowing sites like this to run for profit, when they themselves are not allowed to post mugshots on county sites and inmate inquiries
A lot of damage can be done while a person is out on bond. If your daughter was dating someone with multiple arrests for violent crimes, wouldn't you want to know?
We provide easy access to public records, pure and simple.
But why would you even care to begin with? Bro’s trying to [censored] people from getting a date because he can’t get one himself. Just because you’re sad and lonely doesn’t mean other people have to be. Mugshots don’t mean anything, its the convictions, and even then, you’re still profitting of those mugshots. You’re not posting mugshots to help the community, you do it to get money yourself. Why do you have multiple people against you if it was actually doing good for the community?
That’s crazy, because that’s not even your problem so why would you care? If a girl wants to date someone who is violent with multiple arrests, then that’s on them. Also, the only damage being done is by your website. Those mugshots you post might be public record, but you don’t post them to protect your fellow Georgians, you post them to profit. I don’t get how your website helps law enforcement do a better job either. That makes no sense. I’ve been reading the threads and to be honest, I don’t think someone like you should be in charge of a mugshot website. Not only are you an unprofessional man child, but you’re a hypocrite too. You plead guilty to a DUI. Wouldn’t it be in the public’s interest to know that you were trashed putting your friend and other drivers at risk? i think you blew like an .18? You should have not been behind the wheel. You could have died. If there was an ILLINOIS Gazette back in the day, I’m sure that it would have not only been posted, but someone would definitely be profiting off your mistake. You’ve had legal troubles before too. It’s not a good feeling to have to be reminded of a mistake. California nor New York have mugshot websites, and that’s a good thing. I don’t Georgia should have one neither. Most of your mugshots are petty offenses. I could understand violent crimes or murders, but posting someone’s mugshot for having an expired plate? Why would the public need to know that? Your website does more harm than good. Potential identity theft, ruining reputations, ruining both people’s professional and personal lives. Yeah I don’t see a reason why TGG should even be a thing. Georgia needs to fix this.
Matt - "multiple violent crimes".. of course I would care for my daughter.. but the fact is that your site doesn't post "multiple violent crimes." You post *anything* that comes across the mugshot repository. A single dui or anything low level does not mean a person is a violent criminal or a career criminal. We all make mistakes.. hell I have a dui on my record, so do you... at the end of the day, do we need to be smeared based on our past mistakes?
You aren't protecting anyone.
You are harming innocent people, single parents, encouraging harrassment of people.
You are an extremely sick individual to do this and I look forward to the multitude of lawsuits coming your way.
You deserve to be destitute, living on the streets, and then arrested.
SCUM
I just want the people to know that your voices are being heard. It seems as if People bullied matthew sayle into changing his policy as far as mugshots go. The second chance policy wouldn’t be there id he didn’t get outed on the news or on this website. But honestly this isn’t good enough. He has tarnished the reputations of thousands. Not only that, he recently went to court in regards to an attorney’s mugshot. I will admit that the attorney went about the whole situation the wrong way, but it doesn’t change the fact that Matthew brought this upon himself. He’s trying to play victim but the whole reason people are coming at his head in the first place is because he profits off people’s mugshots and humiliates them. It’s not right at all. If you go on his Facebook, Matthew is complaining about an attorney “harassing” him. He’s a beta male. Kind of like it says in the earlier comments, Matthew Sayle should not he running this “crime based” website. He’s a manchild. It’s funny how he’s getting scared of a WOMAN. “YOU’RE DISMISSED, TALKING IS FOR COURT” 😂😂😂
Matty Matty Matty, this is only the beginning of potential lawsuits you’re going to have to face. It doesn’t surprise me why you’re keeping the website up, you’re going to need that Georgia Gazette money for court costs. Without that dumb little website, you’re nothing. Like your friend James Wertz said, It’s time for you get tf out of Georgia. I say take your mugshot website down and go back to Illinois before it gets worse for you.
TAKE THE MUGSHOTS DOWN?! The [censored] how do you get off embarrassing people for [censored]ing profit. Whatever is coming to you… you [censored]ing deserve it punk [censored] [censored]. Get ratiod.
Get ratiod bozo. L
Matthew Channing Sayle, this is your last chance. We are a group of 7 affected people about to take legal action for $300K in damages. For those interested we will soon post court dates and meetings held in the first week of October! Prepare your lawyers
Good Morning,
My husband and I would like to be your 8th and 9th affected people.
We tried to get a drivers license for my brother, per his request, as he is in a physical rehab. We went about it the wrong way. We were stupid.
We have lost our catering business, as after exchanging emails with Matt, he has chosen me as his poster child for the Gazette.
Please let me know what I can do.
Thank you,
Ann Alfieris and Fotios Markou

How can one join your lawsuit?
I will absolutely join in, please give more details this site has effected my personal and work life, all for a misdemeanor that I haven’t even gone to court for yet. This man is despicable and repulsive and has no right ruining the lives of STRANGERS and disrespecting them and their dignity. Myself included. Even more, he’s is a raging hypocrite who has a criminal record (DUI). I want in on this.
Please send information about case to my email at lowe66@bellsouth.net
I also have information to share.
Serena
I am also interested in joining the lawsuit. My email is pstotts2010@gmail.com.
What happened to the lawsuit?! All talk. No action carries no weight and gets nothing accomplished.
I don't exactly have a dog in this fight as they say, but I stumbled upon one of Matt's mugshot facebook sites and noticed he just has mugshots of people without even saying what their supposed crime is. Someone could be there for letting their driver license expire or maybe they are suspected of murder, but it's clear when someone stumbles upon this, they might assume the worst. I emailed this horrible person and he is dumb, witless, talentless, and lacks empathy and has a definite personality disorder that is a danger to society. He absolutely does not care what he does to other people and how much he destroys their life. Well, maybe I'm wrong. I think he does care actually and he gets off on destroying peoples' lives. This guy could be a legit psychopath. Not sure if he realizes he's putting his own family at risk, maybe he doesn't care. These people he plasters on FB have not been convicted or even had their day in court! He is going to get people hurt or killed. This should be by no means be called the Georgia Gazette. It's not news, it's the opposite of helpful, it's not informative, and Matt is less proficient in grammar than your average 4th grader.
I would also like to join this lawsuit. I have proof of a very unhinged email exchange between myself and this mentally ill man just this morning. All over a city ordinance violation. No record at all. I want to take him down.
So it looks like Matt didn't like the google review of his "business" since he is asking for reviews on his Facebook page.

Have fun.
He made it so you can't even see the Google reviews. He is ashamed that people will know what he has done to people but doesn't have the conscience to not harass people in the first place.
Matt Sayle got his google business page deleted off of google so people can no longer post reviews about the georgia gazette.

Ask about the Ga Gazette lawsuits
If you have requested a removal of your mugshot, provided your documentation, and The Georgia Gazette has not removed. Please go to your local Sheriff's Department and file a report.
If your mug shot has been used against you, because you have requested the mug shot to be removed, please contact the Attorney General, Chris Carr.
If your mug shot states something else beside what you were arrested for, contact the Sheriff's office of Bryan County or your Sheriff's Department.
Keep making those reports, and know every single sole in GA hates Matthew Sayle.
The phone number is censored. Can you send it to me?
This complaint is filled with inaccuracies. First, The Georgia Gazette does not scan recently posted temporary mugshots. The mug shots are requested and provided by the sheriffs office in every county via a lawful open records request.
Georgia sheriffs are not allowed to post booking photos online, that is in violation of the law. However, private citizens, and news organizations, and anybody else who obtains the booking photos through an open records request is more than allowed to post them online and for profit. Please direct yourself to the Georgia attorney generals website regarding the mug shot website laws. The attorney general specifically posts on the bottom of the page that it is NOT illegal to run a for profit mugshot site.
The only thing that is not allowed is to charge somebody to have their mug shot removed. If they meet one of the eight exceptions that the Attorney General has laid out that would require a removal under the law.
The Georgia Gazette strictly complies with all Georgia laws, and when somebody makes a request and satisfies one of the eight circumstances that would entitle them to a legal removal their mug shot is immediately removed.
In addition, The Georgia Gazette goes above and beyond what the law requires and has an enacted a “second chance policy” on their website for people with minor offenses that don’t meet any of the 8 requirements required by law to take down to have their data removed anyways. this policy was enacted specifically to make sure that people with minor offenses don’t have their reputations tarnished and get a second chance even though the law does not require them to get one.
Therefore, your statement that the mugshots remain online, no matter what whether or not, somebody is found innocent or guilty, is completely false and inaccurate and defamatory. I would ask you to please cease and desist, accusing my clients of crimes, as that is definitely in violation of Georgia law.

Chris Carr, the attorney general has the authority to shut down any business that is not in the best interest of the citizens of Ga. In November, don’t support him the way he has not supported you and others like you.

Matthew Sayle have another website by the name of Georgia crime magazine and the website is here:
thegeorgiagazette.online
This website is just like the Georgia gazette and it have facebook pages connected to it just like the Georgia gazette as well. Except these facebook pages have 411 after the name of the county. Here are a few of the facebook pages here:
www.facebook.com/baldwincounty411
www.facebook.com/bibbcounty411
www.facebook.com/cobbcounty411
www.facebook.com/camdencounty411
www.facebook.com/waltoncounty411
So the mugshots are on other facebook pages besides the Georgia gazette facebook pages. This is why he act the way that he do, because he is literally running tons of social media pages online posting mugshots. There are hundreds of facebook pages that he is using posting thousands of mugshots daily besides the Georgia gazette. Just type in your county and put 411 after it on facebook. Then you will see it is literally another one of his mugshot pages. Then he have the links on each mugshot directing everyone to the Georgia crime magazine. When you look at this website it is the same format as the georgia gazette and have the same information linked to the georgia gazette.
My name is Kim Newborn. Like you, I am publicly humiliated by the GA Gazette. Funny thing, I didn't commit a crime, nor do I have a mugshot. I am a licensed GA nurse, I have made mistakes, but this GAZETTE is coming down. I read comments under those mugshots that cause painful,public shamming, and this must stop. Can you help me out by signing this petition?
https://chng.it/kyVcJKnnr5.
I have attached a petition. Will you please sign. I am going to the Capital of GA on November 28th to have the current 2022 revised to remove mugshots. Please help. Kim Newborn
So let me get this staright. You came onto a complaint board where the victim's of Matthew Channing Sayle are posting their stories about all of the harm and misinformation he has spread and your idea of convincing them to stop telling their stories is to defame one of his victims even further? Even someone as dumb as you can tell that that's not the smartest move Matthew. Let's say that someof what you said about this victim are true, it does not come close to the damage that Matthew Channing Sayle has caused. Posting the real stories about him and taking him down is the right move. His "job we don't like" is to harass and slander thousnads upon thousands of Georgia residents, so we are justified in hating him, as are all Georgia residents. "don't break the law and you won't be arrested." That does not help the thousands of people that have not broken the law and Matthew Channing Sayle still won't take their mugshots down, including myself. "For goodness sake don’t just trust anyone on here!" We all have our very real stories dealing with Matthew Channing Sayle. You will not convince anyone by trying to drive us apart. Get a real job you freak.
We all know this is you Matthew Sayle responding to another victim under a fake profile name. Why don't you just reply under your name and quit trying to lie on people. You're the only one that get on this forum trying to tell how someone is lying on YOU. Then you try to embellish their life situation and drag them on here. You even had your witchcraft, incompetent, retarded lawyer get on here lying when it is legal to sue your [censored]. Your fake attorney Jennifer Feathers is only a contracts and agreement attorney not a REAL LAWYER that deal with lawsuits nor criminal charges. lol She is also known for scamming people out of money for those fake witchcraft reading she be doing on youtube. I heard that her license is getting taken away soon and charges are being pressed against her for fraud. lmao
When I googled my name the other day my mugshot came up but the article they next to name says 4 year old baby shot next to it. And the mugshot was for a public intoxication( a citation ) but I can see how that can be seen when any potential employer sees that. That made me really upset.
This is not true!
This is not true~ But today I know who posted this.
Matthew Sayles is probably the most hated person in Georgia. NOBODY likes this guy and he gets off on being hated! His total existence is to hurt, kill, divide and destroy lives, families and careers. The citizens and officials of Georgia allow this to happen because they are afraid of him. He sits at his computer all day eating and getting fatter while reaking havoc on decent people. He has no boundaries. Minors, adults, grandparents, little old ladies who commit minor offenses are at his mercy, of which he has none. None of you are willing to speak out, even anonymously, for fear of Sayles retribution. So keep your whining, tears and stories of heartache. WSB has given you a platform but you choose to ignore it. Even Sayles lawyer is afraid of him. It seems that he who has the on-line publication has the power to give and take careers and reputations. Either bow down to Sayles or stand up to him. You can’t do both!
I made my own page for The Georgia Tabloid that will only post information about people who deserve to have their information online.
https://www.facebook.com/TheGeorgiaTabloid/
If you have any information about your dealing with anyone affiliated with The Georgia Gazette then please send it to me so we can have a neat and organized record of all the harm that Matthew Channing Sayle has caused.
Matthew Sayle just made a new google business page for the georgia gazette on google and had the old one deleted. You guys can go to the new google page and rate him at this link here:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Georgia+Gazette/@32.67853,-83.1940624,7z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8e065f2a4a58bf59:0xcd94b20a57d33037!8m2!3d32.67853!4d-83.1940624!16s%2Fg%2F11vlhp6f3_?entry=ttu
Or just google the georgia gazette and his google listing will show up so you can comment and rate 1 star.
I was the victim of assault and they are choosing to leave my info up. They are guilty of defamation of character as it has lost me jobs. EVEN THOUGH I DID NOTHING WRONG
WSB is doing another report on The Gazette. If you are interested in having your story told contact them at their main number and ask for Sheila Schutt. It may be possible to conceal your identity.
If you haven't done so yet, then please leave an honest review for Jennifer Lee Feathers at
