The court's public information (arrests/trial dates) comes in handy for victims and witnesses too. Quite often a suspect's victim or an incident witness won't receive a subpoena for some reason (lost, not sent in time, wrong address, etc), but they'll know when to show up for trial because the info is right there on the internet.

And the argument by a lot of those arrest/mugshots sites is exactly that. It's public record and if you want to pay for it to be removed from the private service it's up to you. They just make already accessible information even easier to obtain. The other part would be in the case of charge dismissal or expungement. The arrest still occurred, mugshot taken, and charges were still filed. The criminal records deletion stuff usually only applies to government records, not private entities. You can't make someone forget that another person was arrested when the information was public knowledge at one time. Still most of those websites suck.
