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!

People aren’t arrested under “suspicion”. That’s like thinking someone did a bad thing. – Piece of my cake is missing. I think you ate it I saw you walk away from it and you’re covering your mouth. And you always talk about how much you like cake.
You need “probable cause” to arrest somebody. – Piece of my cake is missing and you have icing around your mouth, crumbs on your shirt and in your glass of milk. And you seen just leaving the room where the cake was.
Mugshots (pictures) – and fingerprints are taken when someone gets arrested and goes to jail. That’s so the police man can say this is the criminal for who did this bad thing, any old bad things or any bad things they may do later. Sometimes the police man will put the picture on TV or the internet so people can see them and maybe tell the police that they know about tthay person doing this bad thing or other bad things.
Sometimes the policeman will put out the pictures just to celebrate they caught someone. Which isn’t nice.
Anyone can get the pictures or the police reports they just have to fill out a special form sometimes. Or go to the court house to ask for them.
