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!

Being from the EU, a lot of countries require everybody to have ID/registration with local government. I think that most places in the USA don’t have that so that mugshots are a lot more common.
I got arrested once here in Germany (cleared of all charges, just saying), and no mugshot was taken
