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!

Not *always*
But my Texas city has an official Facebook page that posts the nightly Mugshots from the day before along with their crimes.
Every week the local newspaper prints a full page article with all their faces too.
When I worked as a waiter we would find our coworkers on there quite often for Public Intoxication or Drunk Driving.
“Hey Joe no-called today anyone heard from him??”
“Oh yea. His pictures in the newspaper. He’s been in the slammer for 2 days. I’ll take his shift and he’ll call when they let him out”
