      Yeah, as a non-american, from all the media exposure i thought you have to be sentenced and mugshot mean you’re on the way to your jail cell. Then Donald Trump mugshot released and i thought that clown is finally heading to jail, but later found out the trial haven’t even begin. Its super messed up.

      Because it means there’s a public record of people detained by police, makes it harder to disappear people.

      There’s a serious consequence of people assuming arrested=guilty, and regardless of the result, your life can be ruined. But there’s still a way to keep the public informed about who the cops locked up.
