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.
Folks have no idea how much frivolous minor and obnoxious charges piss off the cops. It’s make work. Few from any professional like performing unnecessary make-work. I’d guess within a year or two on the job most cops can figure out quickly which party is doing the bull sh***ing.
We really don't know if he was fingerprinted or a mug shot taken. The police can release the mugshots or they can be accessed thru a FOIA request.
I am sure you are aware of the sunshine laws in FL and the controversy over the releasing of mugshots. There are many websites that routinely publish mugshots even if the person is never found guilty. The lawyers have a huge business of removing mugshots from these websites, which contain the following disclaimer:
