This is the thing that gets me. To think that there are laws that allow an entity to promote itself via a person's mugshot, etc., is absolute bullshit. It is a brutal strike at the citizens, and a clear attempt to create a perma-class - which goes against everything America stands for.
There should be a process in place, by which a person must register for the information, and a record must be kept to show that the request took place.
I leave for a few days from a good vacation to this ish...
ehhh, freedom of info...you want to know where the sex offenders are located in your community, correct?
Well, you go to the sex offender registry. You want to know where a person is locked up at, go to vine link.
Some places do have where you can register.
Problem is, arrests are posted online, and before that, the newspapers, so it was only a jump to posting mugshots online. Many states, you can search out the person's or your own criminal record, of when you need to go to court. This is brought to up by the State's Judiciary. Soon, warrants may be posted online, once they are issued by the judge. This can help LE served them quicker, instead of looking for the hard copy.
