Bored are you? Maybe you are looking for a way to pass the time. And what better way to amuse yourself then looking at people who have gone over to the dark side so to speak. Of course I am talking about looking at people's mugshots online! Famous and common people alike. And yes you will see peoples mugshots in this article like JayZ, Jim Morrison and Paris Hilton!

The first mugshot website is Google's winner of the popularity contest because of it's name. MugShots.com has a lot of mugshots of wanted people from all over the world. They are not glamorous, they are not cool but hey maybe you have seen one in your hometown? Maybe that killer and drug czar is working in your home depot! Who knows? But if you never see them you won't recognize them when you do!

I started off my mugshot website journey here at Mugshots. It is a simple site with peoples mugshots and not much else. You can find colorful comments left by people just like you. Who doesn't want to ridicule the people down on their luck? Nah I'm just kidding but you can still peruse the mug shots.

When you arrive at the site you will see some shots and categories.

You can click on a category and look through the ones that tickle your fancy.

They even have a Mugshot Maker that runs on Java to really let you see your dark side! You can access that here.

You have to conform your image to their specifications which is the file needs to be - at most - 300 x 400 pixels.It also needs to be in JPG/GIF Format. You also have to have Java running on your machine. Lots of requirements to be a fake criminal huh?

Well moving on, let's take a look at some of the most wanted criminals:

Then from there I clicked on one of the links and got this guy, looks pretty bad.

If you read through the comments you will see what they did. Look at what this guy did:

Police in Michigan continue their search for Edgardo "Eddie" Perez. Cops say Perez killed retired Daimler-Chrysler designer Gordon Machek, who hasn't been seen since Oct. 20, 2001.

You can continue looking around at other categories but when you get tired of seeing all the joe schmoes out there then we can turn to the second mugshot website for more famous people. The second site is The Smoking Gun's section of their website titled Mugshots. You can find that page at this link [No Longer Available].

When you arrive at the site you will see a screen that looks like this:

Next up is a little more recent. Here is Jay Z aka Sean Carter, rapper and previous owner of Rocawear clothing. He was arrested back in 1999 for allegedly stabbing a record executive. JayZ - who would have thunk it?
