Straight-up extortion: Sober drivers charged with DUI must pay to have mug shots removed [Video]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV/Gray News) – Getting arrested for a DUI while she was sober was traumatizing for Stefanie Fair, but what would come next would impact every member of her family.

Fair is the latest person documented by WSMV4 Investigates to be charged with DUI whose bloodwork would later show they were completely sober at the time.

But when Fair’s mug shot was posted on Scoop Nashville, a website infamous for posting the jail photos of arrested people, as well as on the company’s social media pages, the post garnered more than 1,500 “likes” on Instagram alone.
