Are you speaking from knowledge of the facts or is it a supposition on your part? When is it required to take fingerprints and a mug shot?
Not immediately on a charge like this. In fact I would suggest the police themselves had a dubious view of it before they were going to compel him to take prints and a mug shot. By all accounts there is no evidence they did mug shot him and print him. I think that’s a fair assumption.
