Mugshots removed from CA Lake County Sheriff’s Office website
According to Elizabeth Larson with the Lake County News, “a federal court ruling handed down earlier this month has resulted in changes to inmate and arrest information posted on the Lake County Sheriff’s Office website.”
The Ninth Circuit Court ruled that Maricopa County, Arizona’s posting of photographs of arrestees was unconstitutional since it is punishment, and the state may not punish pretrial detainees without an adjudication of guilt.”
This decision has resulted in other counties changing their policies on posting mugshots along with other personal information. Hopefully these policy changes will be cascading into other counties in the country.
