mugshots in the USA

1.70K views

Hi everyone! I’m European. And lately, I have been wondering about “mugshots”. If I have understood correctly (but correct me if I’m wrong, that is why I am posting here: to learn!), whenever someone is arrested under the suspicion of some crime, mugshots are taken, and made publically available.

Is this true, or is this just an impression of mine? Can anyone just view the pics of people who have been arrested without being proven guilty?

Thanks in advance to anyone who cares to shed some light on this topic!

Much love to you all from Europe!

If a mugshot is taken, It is usually available to the public at some point. The theory is that in a country of people who are supposed to be free from the interference of government without a legal reason. the citizens have a right to know why their government has seized a free person and which citizen the government has Seized.
