BUFFALO, N.Y. — New York law enforcement won't be releasing as many mugshots from now on.
A new law requires that many mugshots be withheld from public distribution.
This comes after third party websites take and post the pictures online and then demand money if the person in the photo wants it to be taken down.
One possible exception to the rule will be when releasing the photo is important for public safety.
"Effective immediately, New York State Police will not include mugshots in press releases, and they will not be provided to media when requested. This is due to the new State Law that effectively bans the release of booking photos. NYSP will be able to release mugshots for specific law enforcement purposes only. One example would be if we were searching for a wanted or missing person, of which we have a booking photo from a previous arrest," a statement from the New York State Police said.

This is a story from 2019. I think the law was enacted in 2020.
Seems to be an inexhaustible supply of horny annoying people. Just watch TV.
Ok, it’s cleaned up.
Obscuring reality to fit an agenda.
What will be needed is a generic, representative mug shot that can be displayed...
I bet freepers can come up with a nice generic mug shot for this purpose...
That’s what it all boils down to! Cops are racist to the ,eft because too many black people are getting arrested (they won’t tell you that the reason is because in black neighborhoods, there are no white folks to arrest, only black folks who commit cri es are arrested there)
The nation is caving in to the demands of criminals. And the result is that cri inals get tons of “rights” (ie privileges) that .aw abid8ng citizens don’t have. Cr8minals get protection, while the ,aw abiding citizens gets disarmed, and the laws skew heavily towards protecting the criminals

I must admit, it’s a bit tasteless, but this is a funny cartoon.

Mugshots should not be released until an individual has been duly convicted of at least one crime.
Or the person's name is Donald Trump ...
long story short....it looks bad when all the criminals, or at least a vast majority, all sort of look alike.....wouldn’t want us the rabble to get the impression that 60% of murderers are a certain type.
“This comes after third party websites take and post the pictures online and then demand money if the person in the photo wants it to be taken down.”
These sites are evil, they won’t even remove mugshots when the individual has been exonerated, unless they extort money from the unfortunate person.
Meanwhile, the actual criminals don’t really care whether there are public mugshots of them since they don’t have good reputations to protect or jobs to seek, anyway.
Too many innocent people smeared and extorted using them.
I can see releasing mugshots if a person has a history of criminal convictions but it is wrong to publicly release them when people have been falsely arrested, exonerated, or never been convicted of a crime, and it does happen, unfortunately. Happens here in Florida, too.
Texas Dems abused the system to use mugshots against Tom Delay, too, though he turned it against them with a huge grin on his face. And the Democrats do it with Trump associates, and want to do it with Trump.
A new law requires that many mugshots be withheld from public distribution.
That’s going to piss off the democrats a lot of dogs going to get kicked and drinking starts early.
Thjat will be the most media plastered picture in the history of mug shots. It’s what Princess Kathy, “Alvin Braggart,” and “Joe” really want (read Soros...)
What do you want to bet the delay in the indictment was so that they could get all this OTHER stuff lined up.
Meanwhile, look at who NYS is going after....

Our DEC just ticketed two people for...
...wait for it...
Illegal cattail harvest.
I won’t print the rest of what I’m thinking.
