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!

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but in Florida specifically, mugshots and arrest records are classified as public record, so this information is freely accessible. That’s why you see so many posts like “Florida man does X”, not necessarily because there are more wacky illegal things happening there, but because the records are publicly available for news outlets to comb through.
